Bronco Drum Smoker & Grill

284-sq-in charcoal drum smoker with a fuel-access door and meat hooks for vertical hot-and-fast or low-and-slow cooking.

$500Approx. MSRP

A great first smoker for someone who wants long, hands-off cooks without fiddling with an offset firebox; step up to the Pro if you regularly cook for a crowd.

Pros

  • Heavy-gauge insulated steel holds temperature for 6-10 hours on one load of charcoal
  • Simple numbered damper dial makes temperature control approachable for beginners
  • Can hang meat (sausage, roasts) in addition to grate cooking for extra capacity
  • Good value at around $449
  • Solid all-rounder for its class

Watch-outs

  • Only 18 in of grill surface, tight for larger cuts like a full brisket
  • Vertical drum design takes a cook or two to learn to dial in
  • Not built to grill and hang meat easily at the same time
  • Tight cooking area (284 sq in) — small batches
