Buying large outdoor equipment online is different—we guide you through every step.
See what happens after you order.

The Backwoods Piglet Plus Smoker is a compact, insulated vertical charcoal smoker built for backyard cooks, competition teams practicing at home, and caterers handling smaller events. It delivers the same cabinet-style charcoal-and-water-pan cooking approach used in larger Backwoods models, but in a more manageable size and footprint.

It solves the challenge of maintaining steady temperatures during long cooks without requiring the space, fuel consumption, or transport planning of complete competition rigs. The insulated cabinet design helps retain heat and maintain cooking conditions with fewer adjustments than many traditional offset smokers.

Over the long term, the Piglet Plus stands out for its straightforward construction and proven cabinet-smoker design. With durable materials, minimal complexity, and a practical layout, it’s built to serve as a dependable smoker for years of regular use.

This smoker is for you if:

• You want a serious charcoal smoker in a compact, space-efficient format
• You cook for family, small gatherings, or occasional events
• You want insulated performance without stepping up to a large competition cabinet
• You prefer charcoal cooking and manual control over automated systems
• You want a smoker that is easier to transport and store than larger models

This smoker is not for you if:

• You regularly cook for large catering jobs or competitions requiring high volume
• You prefer pellet smokers or push-button temperature control
• You need a grill for direct-heat cooking and searing
• You want the rack space and throughput of larger Backwoods models like the Professional or Competition series

Piglet Plus Specification Sheet

Common Questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often.

Capacity depends on the size of the cuts and rack configuration. A good estimate is: 22 to 26 slabs of baby back ribs, 16 to 18 briskets, 45 Boston butts

Yes. Many cooks choose compact insulated smokers as a step up from kettles or offsets because of their temperature stability and efficiency.

No. The smoker operates using charcoal and natural draft airflow

Burn time depends on cooking temperature, weather, and fuel quality. The manufacturer does not specify an official burn-time figure.

Many cooks find insulated cabinet smokers easier to maintain at steady temperatures because of their heat retention and airflow design.

The Piglet Plus provides the same cooking method in a smaller format. Larger models primarily increase cooking capacity and throughput rather than changing the cooking style.

You’ll have access to Fire Goddess support before and after delivery. If you need help during setup or have usage questions, you can reach a real person who understands the equipment.
