can anyone tell me if you can buy the extra side fire box here on amazon and if not where can I get one if I buy this hybrid BBQ

You CAN buy the extra fire box for smoking, however, not only is the 5050 a mediocre griller, I've heard that as a smoker, it downright sucks. Apparently all of the seams leak terribly, and the grill is totally ineffective as a smoker. I'll never buy another Char Griller product, and their customer service is just awful. CharBroil is even worse. Sorry to say, if you really want a quality grill or smoker, you'll have to buy a Weber or one of the other quality brands. They cost more, but over the life of the grill/smoker, you'll really get your money's worth. Hope that helped.Alan

I could not find the firebox on Amazon so I bought the grill here and the firebox at my local Lowes

You can in fact buy that part on amazon. It should be listed as an accessory to the grill.

Not sure about Amazon, but you can try www.chargriller.com. They sell spare parts.

Don't know about Amazon but it should be available at any number of retailers. I have to add that my experience with this grill was horrible. Gas side rusted through in less than a year and a half and I babied it. Company was absolutely no help whatsoever. Good luck, you will probably need it!!

I don't know if amazon has it, but Lowe's carries that side box at most stores. Chargriller.com, has it too.

I use " Lump Charcoal " It is wonderful and can be purchased at any hardware store. Also when you are done cooking just shut the grill lid and the vents and the fire will go out saving any unburned charcoal.

The new 2-burner Spirit Es flip down, the new 3-burner do not. Weber will not sell the owner of a 3-burner model the mods necessary for flip-down side tables. If space is an issue, you'll want the 2-burner model....which is what I should have done. I only discovered this AFTER assembly (over 2 hours). Called Weber and while they were nice, there is no way they are going to help. I even offered to pay for new tables, flip-down hardware, etc.

I would suggest contacting the seller before placing the order. It's not one fits all when ordering grills

I just picked one up at Walmart yesterday for about $6. Tis the grilling season now so you should be able to find them just about anywhere.

Go on line and contact the company. My friend purchased a grill after I told her how much I liked mine and she just got hold of the company to purchase the aluminum liner and brickets. When Lowes still carried the grill I purchased extra brickets when I bought it, and then they ordered new liners for me less than a year later. They won't do that any longer. Surprised more places don't sell grills like this with all the condos and apartment dwellers around the country.

What difference does it make if you buy it from Amazon it's not like it would be worth the cost to send the grill back....at that, I had to just trow it away after it stopped working the second time I used it.If you need to purchase this on-line I suggest you do from a brick an mortar retailer that you can visit if some goes wrong with the grill.

Gasone Butane Fuel Canister (4pack)If you want this grill I would absoutly order these online because you can not find them ANYWHERE. I returned mine becuase the cans are pricey and I thought the grill itself was very cheap. Depending on what you are needing I would look into the coleman single burner that screws on top of the little propane tanks. Those tanks last FOREVER an you can fine them anywhere. I bought the Coleman burner and I LOVE it. It is made so well and boils water so fast.

We have used the BBQ for the last year. It is a good smoker as well. But as with any piece of equioment it tkaes some practice to get it right. I wouold buy another.. even though it was a pain to put together in the form of time. it is a good buy.

That's an item that seems unique to this particular grill. If you still have the instructions, and warranty, with information that likely leads to the company that manufactures this item and has the license the sell it under the WP brand. They'd likely be you best place to contact. If you don't have it, try finding somwhere bricks and mortar that sells his stuff, look over the box for info, or search on Google. Search for any place involved with any of his enterprises, and email, call. All it takes at times is one decent person who'll track one down for you. Not a great answer, but the best I can manage. Just keep trying. That's an item that seems unique to this particular grill.

The manufacturer is correct. I'm guessing that amazon might be doin some false advertising or whatever. Ps. I still however really like the grill. Its easy to use and does it's job well. I say get it. Also the grill is little big so make sure u have the space for it

I use the side fire box when I'm smoking anything. I use charcoal, charcoal and wood, or just wood. With the side firebox the food is in a different chamber then the heat source so burning is not big problem. One modification I would strongly recommend it to clamp a short piece of 3" flexible aluminum duct the smoke stack inside the the cooking chamber just long enough to come down to the cast iron grates. This forces the heat and smoke to travel all the way across the chamber at the grates level before exiting the smoker. I found that this gives a much more even temp. to the whole cooking area. You won't go wrong with the Char-Griller units. A plus for the side fire box is that it comes with it's own grill surface and can be used by it self when you just want to grill up a few hot dogs or burgers.

Yes, The one you are looking for is Char-Griller 2-2424 Table Top Charcoal Grill and Side Fire Box. I have it so I know it works and is the correct one. Took me about an hour to mount it and I have no put-together skills. Not that bad. See this amazon link: Char-Griller 2-2424 Table Top Charcoal Grill and Side Fire Box

Just wanted to let people know that the same exact grill made by GP Group is sold by Lowes under the name Master Forge. They also have covers for it too item #297938 on Lowes. Also and I cant believe I am saying this but Lowes was cheaper than Amazon ! Picked mine up for under $200. You will need two people to put the main body on the base but other than that assembly is easy (Lowes will assemble it for you too). Sorry this may have turned out to be a Lowes ad, but hey for once something is cheaper not on Amazon !
