Crafted from ¼” thick carbon steel, the Gateway Drum Smoker® 30G is designed to withstand the elements and deliver years of reliable performance. Its all-welded construction ensures durability, while the high-temp matte black finish not only adds a touch of style but also provides protection against heat and the elements.
Caster wheels (sold separately) can be added for additional mobility, allowing you to move the smoker easily whenever needed. Despite its robust construction, the Gateway 30G is surprisingly easy to transport, making it a great choice for both home use and on-the-go grilling.
The Gateway 30G features a removable fire basket that holds 8-10 lbs. of charcoal, giving you up to 14 hours of smoke time.
