Product Description

An offset smoker is a traditional style of barbecue cooker that has its roots deep in American barbecue culture, particularly the Southern states like Texas and Oklahoma. Known for producing that unmistakable smoky flavour, offset smokers work by burning wood or charcoal in a firebox that sits to the side of the main cooking chamber. Heat and smoke are drawn through the cooking chamber and out a chimney, slowly cooking the food using indirect heat. This low-and-slow method is the gold standard for authentic BBQ, allowing meats to develop a deep, rich flavour and a beautiful bark.

While the design itself may be American in origin, the offset smoker we’re offering takes that legacy and cranks it up to another level. This custom-built behemoth is handcrafted right here in the UK, made with exceptionally heavy-duty, high-quality steel that puts many mass-produced models to shame. We’re talking hundreds of kilos of solid craftsmanship, designed not just for performance, but also for durability. This isn’t a garden gadget – it’s a serious piece of professional-grade BBQ equipment that’s built to last for decades.

Whether you’re catering large events, running a smokehouse, or just serious about your backyard BBQ game, this smoker is in a league of its own. Every weld, hinge, and plate is engineered with precision and care. The thick steel retains heat incredibly well, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient fuel use. It’s not just a smoker – it’s a statement. And best of all? It’s British-built, supporting local craftsmanship while delivering world-class performance.

An offset smoker operates using the principle of indirect heat and smoke circulation. The fire is built in a separate firebox attached to the side of the main cooking chamber. As the wood or charcoal burns, heat and smoke are drawn into the main chamber, flowing evenly around the food before exiting through a chimney on the opposite side. This slow, steady flow of heat cooks the meat gently over several hours, allowing it to become tender while absorbing deep, smoky flavours. The design gives the cook precise control over both temperature and smoke levels, making it ideal for barbecuing large cuts of meat like brisket, pork shoulder, ribs, and more. It’s the classic method that pitmasters swear by for achieving that perfect bark, smoke ring, and melt-in-your-mouth texture.
