Backwoods Smoker Chubby 3400

4.8

Best charcoal smoker for serious pitmasters needing high-capacity cooking.

This is the ultimate workhorse for pitmasters who have outgrown their starter rig but aren't ready for a trailer-sized cooker. It sacrifices portability for serious capacity, giving you the insulation and space needed to smoke a dozen racks of ribs with set-it-and-forget-it consistency.
