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

The Backwoods Smokers Fatboy GS is a charcoal cabinet smoker built for low-and-slow cooking with consistent heat and moisture control. Designed for backyard cooks, competitors, and serious enthusiasts, it provides the performance of a larger insulated smoker in a more manageable footprint.

It solves a common challenge in charcoal barbecue: maintaining stable temperatures over long cooks without constant fire management. The insulated cabinet design and water-pan cooking environment help regulate heat while producing moist, evenly cooked food suitable for ribs, pork shoulder, brisket, and poultry.

Over the long term, the Fatboy GS stands out for its insulated construction, straightforward mechanical design, and heavy-duty materials. With proper care, cabinet smokers like this are known for years of reliable service and repeatable results.

This smoker is for you if:

● You want stable temperatures for long charcoal cooks
● You cook ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, or poultry regularly
● You value insulated construction for fuel efficiency
● You want a smoker with strong moisture retention for consistent results
● You prefer simple airflow control rather than electronic systems

This smoker is not for you if:

● You prefer pellet smokers with automated temperature control
● You primarily grill over direct flame
● You need a very large commercial-capacity smoker
● You want a lightweight or ultra-portable cooker
