$899Approx. MSRP
Great forlow-and-slow smokingfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

Only for someone willing to actively babysit the fire and accept real technique-learning curve; not a beginner-friendly 'set it and forget it' smoker.

Pros

  • When it works well, owners report consistently good smoked results and an easy-to-manage fire
  • Classic offset-smoker layout appeals to traditionalists who want to learn fire management
  • Recent design revisions have addressed some assembly/instruction mismatches
  • Loads of cooking room — 1040 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Thin steel construction is a real heat-retention weakness compared to heavier offset smokers
  • High fuel consumption for the results delivered
  • Sealing and draft issues can make consistent temperature control difficult
  • Heavy (239 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Thin-gauge steel struggles to hold heat, and fuel consumption is reported as very high
  • Uneven heat pull through the cooking chamber even with dampers open
  • Some owners report difficulty exceeding roughly 140°C/285°F without the firebox door held open, causing smoky, oxygen-starved fires when closed
  • Paint has bubbled and peeled on the inside for some owners
