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

The Backwoods Professional Smoker is a large-capacity, insulated vertical charcoal smoker designed for competitors, caterers, and experienced backyard cooks who routinely cook for groups. It sits above smaller Backwoods models in capacity, making it a practical step up for cooks who have outgrown compact competition smokers.

It solves a common challenge in larger cooks: maintaining steady temperatures and moisture over long sessions while handling significant food volume. The insulated cabinet design and water pan system help stabilize the cooking environment, allowing cooks to focus on timing and flavor rather than constant fire management.

Over the long term, the Professional stands out for its straightforward mechanical design, durable construction, and serviceable components. It’s built as a working tool—intended for years of regular use rather than occasional cooking.

This smoker is for you if:

• You regularly cook for large gatherings, competitions, or catering jobs
• You want a charcoal smoker capable of long, steady cooks with minimal temperature swings
• You’ve outgrown smaller cabinet smokers and need more rack space
• You prefer insulated smokers for improved fuel efficiency and stability
• You want a smoker designed for repeatable, consistent results over long sessions

This smoker is not for you if:

• You primarily cook small meals and don’t need large cooking capacity
• You want a compact or highly portable smoker
• You prefer fully automated pellet or electric smokers
• You have limited storage space or restricted access for moving heavy equipment
