I'm seriously considering buying one and selling my large Yoder offset smoker. It's just too damn big to move around and takes up a lot of room on my patio.


No. Longest smoke so far has been 6 hours. That was probably my second or third smoke, and that one kept an air probe in it the entire time - held steady between 305 and 314.

They say a full load of charcoal will burn for 8 hours. They don't recommend using wood at all, but I've worked my way to about 60:40 charcoal to wood, and the results have been great. Obviously, that will raise the temp some.

Since you're cooking hotter and faster, nothing you'd typically smoke would take more than 8 hours.
