Char-Broil Recalls Vertical Gas Smokers Due to Injury Hazard

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Char-Broil Recalls Vertical Gas Smokers Due to Injury Hazard

The hazard

When the temperature setting is in "low," the smoker's hose/valve/regulator (HVR) assembly does not allow sufficient gas to flow, causing the flame to extinguish. Gas continues to flow and build up inside the smoker. If the smoker is reignited the build-up of propane gas can cause an explosion that bursts the smoker's door open, posing an injury hazard.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled smokers and contact Char-Broil for a free replacement hose/valve/regulator assembly and installation instructions.
