Great forlow-and-slow smokingfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

The best dedicated charcoal smoker for a beginner ready to cook full briskets and larger batches, once they're willing to learn basic vent management.

Pros

  • Enough capacity for a full packer brisket or multiple rib racks at once
  • Holds steady low-and-slow temperatures for hours once vents are dialed in
  • Proven, durable steel construction with a huge base of community knowledge
  • Loads of cooking room — 726 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Steeper learning curve for vent tuning than gas or pellet smokers
  • Stock thermometer needs replacing for accuracy
  • Bulky footprint compared to the 18-inch version
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Same vent-management learning curve as the 22-inch Smokey Mountain — running too hot or cold until tuned
  • Lid thermometer is inaccurate and most owners replace it with a separate probe
  • Air leaks around the door and bowl seam can undermine temperature control
