6 Best Smokers

This may look like a small smoker, but it’s surprisingly roomy – you get over 480 square inches of cooking space. That’s more than enough space to fit a large rack of ribs, a full-sized chicken, or 20+ pounds of meat. The porcelain-enameled steel feels sturdy and, the heat-resistant nylon handle is very well-designed. The grates, however, are nickel-plated rather than chrome.

The smoker comes with a special tray for charcoal briquettes, with room to hold about 7 hours’ worth of charcoal. While it’s running, you’ll find that it stays precisely at your desired temperature with very little fluctuation in temperature (provided you don’t open it). The temperature consistency is as good as it gets!

This smoker uses charcoal rather than electricity or propane, so you get a hotter flame that is perfect for cooking chicken and fish.
