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

The Backwoods Competition Hog Smoker is a large insulated charcoal cabinet smoker explicitly designed for cooking whole hogs and high-volume barbecue. It’s built for competition teams, caterers, and serious pitmasters with the space and transport to handle a huge cooker.

It solves the core problem of big-cook consistency: keeping temperatures steady over long runs while evenly managing large cuts. Backwoods lists an approximate cooking range of 180–300°F, with typical cook times of 6–10 hours depending on temperature, and charcoal loads in the 20–30 lb range.

In long-term ownership, it stands apart through insulated construction (2") and a permanent water pan environment designed around repeatable results at scale, plus a simple, mechanical approach with serviceable, replaceable components and optional mobility/stand configurations.

This smoker is for you if:

• You cook whole hog and need a purpose-built chamber and rack layout
• You run competitions, catering, or large gatherings where volume matters
• You want a charcoal-driven workflow with defined fuel and cook-time expectations (by manufacturer guidance)
• You have the space and transport to move a large cooker (trailers, ramps, planned logistics)
• You want a platform that supports mobility add-ons (casters/stands) as your setup evolves

This smoker is not for you if:

• You need a compact backyard footprint or frequent solo lifting/moving
• You want precise digital control “out of the box” (controls not specified as standard equipment)
• Your typical cooks are small batches where a large chamber would be inefficient
• You don’t have storage space, access clearance, or transport planning for an 880 lb unit
