Great foreasy to learnlow-and-slow smokingfeeding a crowdset-and-forget cooksgadget lovers

A good compact, reliable vertical smoker for weekend cooks, but plan to add a smoke tube if you want stronger smoke flavor.

Pros

  • Large 1,679 sq in capacity across six racks
  • 60 lb hopper for extended smoking sessions
  • Holds set temperature reliably according to owners
  • Clean burn with less soot and easy cleanup
  • Loads of cooking room — 1679 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Smoke flavor can be underwhelming without supplementing with a smoke tube

  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles
