Introducing the Gateway Drum Smoker® Go2™—a revolutionary, portable smoker and grill designed for BBQ enthusiasts who want to enjoy the rich flavors of smoked meat wherever they go. This outdoor cooker takes the original Gateway Drum Smoker’s incredible performance and packs it into a compact, lightweight design perfect for a wide range of outdoor activities. From backyard cookouts to tailgating with friends, camping adventures, or even BBQ competitions, the Go2™ is ready to deliver mouthwatering results every time.
Crafted for BBQ Perfection
At first glance, you’ll notice the striking, colorful high-heat resistant paint on every Gateway Drum Smoker. The matte black finish of the Go2™ is not only sleek but also practical, as it withstands heat up to 1000ºF. This rugged exterior ensures your smoker is protected even under the most intense cooking conditions. Built from heavy-gauge steel and featuring hand-welded construction, the Go2™ delivers the same quality and durability Gateway Drum Smokers are known for, but in a convenient portable format.
Innovative Air Control System for Superior Results
One of the key innovations that set Gateway Drum Smokers apart is their unique air control system. The Go2™ features two welded intake pipes that feed air directly into the firebox. These intake pipes are designed to accelerate airflow, creating a vortex effect inside the drum. This enhanced distribution of heat and smoke ensures that every bite of meat comes out perfectly cooked, tender, and infused with smoky flavor. Adjust the attached dampers on each intake pipe for precise temperature control, allowing you to cook your meat exactly the way you like it.
Whether you prefer to cook "hot and fast" at around 300°F—which is said to cook chicken in just 30 minutes, ribs in 2 hours, and brisket in about 4 hours—or prefer traditional low-and-slow smoking at 225°F, the Go2™ gives you complete control.
Built for Performance and Portability
The Go2™ brings all the features of the original Gateway Drum Smoker into a smaller, more portable package, without sacrificing performance. This 15-gallon drum is designed to be light and easy to carry; while still offering the durability you need for serious outdoor cooking. Weighing in at just 40 lbs, it’s easy to transport, making it perfect for tailgating, camping, or setting up at BBQ competitions.
The three-part design of the Go2™ makes it incredibly convenient. The elevated, hinged lid provides extra cooking room while also making it easy to check on your food without having to remove the entire lid. This means you can add wood chips, adjust your meat, or baste without losing heat.
The smoker also features optional tool-less removable steel legs, allowing for easy portability without sacrificing stability when in use. With its compact design and convenient handles, you can easily pack the Go2™ for your next adventure.
