Meadow Creek TS70P Tank Smoker

The reverse-flow design forces heat and smoke to travel under a baffle plate before entering the cooking chamber, which creates a more uniform temperature across the entire grate. This eliminates hot spots and ensures your meat cooks evenly without needing to constantly rotate it.

Cleanup is straightforward thanks to the integrated drain with a ball valve. You can easily flush out grease and debris with water after your cook, and the T304 stainless steel grates are rust-resistant and simple to scrub down.

No, the TS70P arrives fully assembled and ready for use. Given its 535-pound weight, you will simply need a plan for positioning it in your cooking area once it arrives.

While the TS70P is built for advanced users, its heavy-duty plate steel construction provides excellent heat retention, which makes temperature management more predictable. However, because it relies on manual fire management rather than digital controls, it does require a learning curve to master wood and charcoal fire maintenance.

This unit is designed primarily for low-and-slow smoking. While the firebox is robust, the reverse-flow baffle system is optimized for consistent, indirect heat rather than direct grilling.

Despite weighing over 500 pounds, the 13-inch pneumatic tires make it surprisingly easy to maneuver across typical backyard surfaces like grass or gravel. It is stable once parked, but you will want to ensure you have a relatively flat area for the best performance.
