Great forlow-and-slow smokingfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

A solid charcoal drum-style smoker for someone who wants real charcoal flavor and doesn't mind more manual temperature tending than a pellet grill requires.

Pros

  • Swing-out charcoal basket makes loading and access easier than reaching down into a drum smoker
  • Built-in dolly with wheels for moving it across gravel or grass
  • Large hanging rack holds up to 12 racks of ribs in one cook
  • Reverse draft burn system aims for even, consistent airflow
  • Loads of cooking room — 1158 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Bracket hardware can be fragile (snapping reported)
  • Charcoal smokers need more hands-on temperature management than a pellet grill
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles
