I don't recall if anyone here mentioned this smoker before or I just stumbled upon it somehow someway...but regardless...it sure looks well built and sturdy but does it produce a product that we Que Masters expect?
Whatcha think?

Looks like a great rig. I'd like to add it to my collection.

I thought barrels were round.

Excellent observation SBE!Originally Posted by shootbrownelk

In reality, the concept of a "barrel smoker" is the vortex effect of the smoke in a true barrel as you cook your meat.
This contraption takes that concept and modifies it and its just simpler to call it a "barrel smoker" vs a cube smoker...(I guess?)
So far I'm liking it.

It looks like a peach of a smoker!
The only part that made me go "Huh?" when I read the description was:
Translated by my feeble brain: "We are going to charge you almost 2 grand for a grill that we absolutely guarantee to rust".... Um, okay, I guess...This cooker is made by hand in Tulsa, Oklahoma of heavy-duty corten steel. Corten is specially designed to surface-rust and self-seal, creating a rustic outer shell that will continue to patina without affecting the integrity of the steel.

Forgive me as my memory may be off. IIRC this special steel is a weathering type of steel that corrodes a bit and then stops. The US Steel building in downtown Pittsburgh is made of this stuff and has stood the test of time.It looks like a peach of a smoker!

The oxidation process does not break down the integrity of the steel, it simply gives it a certain aged look. And I believe Hasty Bake has a $950 smoker in addition to the $2000 smoker.

"cube" is only one syllable as opposed to 2 for "barrel"Excellent observation SBE!
