Meet The Gladiator, Backwoods Smoker’s first dry smoker, designed for BBQ enthusiasts who demand versatility and performance. We didn’t hold anything back in creating this powerful smoker! While most dry cookers can be a hassle to operate, the Gladiator's upright design and easy access to the firebox and meat chamber make it a breeze to use, offering optimal performance every time.
What sets the Gladiator apart? It’s not just a smoker—it’s a multi-functional powerhouse. You can use the Gladiator in three different ways: lay meat flat, hang meat, or transform it into a grill with our optional Gladiator grill kit. Whether you’re smoking ribs, brisket, or grilling burgers, the Gladiator is designed to handle it all with ease.
Made to order, the Gladiator offers cooking temperatures ranging from 225 to 400°F, allowing you to tackle a wide variety of cooking styles and meats. This smoker is perfect for BBQ enthusiasts who want versatility and control in every cook.
Meat it can cook at one time:
• 9 to 12 slabs of baby back ribs
• 3 large briskets
• 12 Boston butts
The Gladiator is built for those who want more than just a smoker—it’s for those who want flexibility, power, and performance in one. Whether you’re looking to smoke, grill, or experiment with different BBQ techniques, the Gladiator has you covered.
