Overview
Broil King's 923617 is a natural gas smoker built from a mix of aluminum, stainless steel and steel, finished in black and weighing 73 lb, meant to run off a home gas line rather than a propane tank.
Running on natural gas rather than propane means this needs a home gas line hookup, which suits a fixed outdoor kitchen setup better than a portable one. The mixed aluminum, stainless and steel build is typical of Broil King's smoker line.
- Natural gas fuel type
- Aluminum, stainless steel and steel construction
- Black finish
- 73 lb weight
Who it's for
Suits someone with an existing natural gas line who wants a dedicated smoker rather than a multipurpose grill. It won't work for anyone without gas line access, since there's no propane tank option listed.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Natural gas removes tank-swapping during long smokes
- Mixed-metal build suits a fixed outdoor kitchen install
- 73 lb weight adds stability
- Requires a natural gas line hookup, not portable
- No cooking area or burner count listed
- Heavier unit isn't meant to be moved often
Performance notes
Natural gas removes the need to monitor or swap propane tanks during long smoking sessions, which matters for low-and-slow cooks that run for hours. The 73 lb body and mixed-metal build add stability for a unit meant to stay in one place rather than move around a patio.
