Why Buyers Choose a Vertical Barrel Smoker
Insulated to Hold Heat
The insulated system helps the smoker keep its heat for multiple hours, which helps you hold steady temperatures through a long cook.
Indirect Heat from an Offset Firebox
The firebox sits apart from the cooking chamber, so heat and smoke circulate around your food instead of hitting it directly. That’s the traditional way to get smoke flavor and tender meat.
More Ways to Cook
Three removable racks and a lower rack let you cook several foods at once, and the three hanging hooks at the top give you another way to cook inside the chamber.
Watch the Temperature
The built-in temperature gauge lets you monitor the heat without opening the smoker and letting smoke and heat escape.
Easy to Move
Wheels let you roll the smoker where you need it, and the vertical design takes less ground space than a horizontal smoker.
What Can You Smoke in It?
Brisket, ribs, chicken, pork shoulder, and large cuts of meat all work well on a vertical offset smoker. You can load different foods on different racks and cook them in the same session.

Before You Order a Smoker
Set the smoker on level, stable ground in an open outdoor area, away from fences, overhangs, and anything that can catch fire. Keep children and pets clear while it’s hot, never use it indoors or in an enclosed space, and let the fire burn out and the smoker cool fully before you move it.
