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

The Backwoods Smokers G2 Competitor is an insulated vertical water smoker designed for serious backyard cooks, caterers, and competition teams who need reliable performance and meaningful cooking capacity without moving to a trailer-mounted rig.

Its cabinet design is built to hold steady temperatures for long periods, helping reduce fire management compared to many traditional offsets. The vertical layout also allows multiple racks of food to cook evenly in a controlled environment, making it practical for brisket, pork shoulders, ribs, and poultry in the same session.

Over the long term, insulated construction, stainless components, and a simple charcoal-and-wood fuel system contribute to durability and serviceability. This is the kind of smoker built to be maintained and used for many seasons rather than replaced.

This smoker is for you if:

• You want stable low-and-slow cooking with fewer temperature swings
• You cook for larger groups, events, or extended family gatherings
• You prefer the moisture and texture benefits of a water-style smoker
• You value insulated construction for more predictable cooking in varying weather
• You want a cabinet smoker that can scale production without moving to commercial equipment

This smoker is not for you if:

• You want push-button automation or a pellet-fed system
• You prefer direct-flame grilling or high-heat searing
• You need a lightweight smoker that is easy to transport without assistance
• You want a smoker that requires minimal fuel management during long cooks

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often.

It is designed to handle larger quantities of food while maintaining stable temperatures over long cooking sessions, making it suitable for events and competition-style cooking.

Most users find cabinet smokers easier to manage than traditional offsets, but you will still need to learn fire and airflow control.

This smoker is designed primarily for charcoal with wood chunks for smoke flavor. Full wood-split operation is not specified by manufacturer.

The charcoal tray holds approximately 16 to 20 lbs of charcoal, providing a cooking time of 6 to 10 hours.

The design is built around water-pan cooking for temperature stability and moisture. Operating without water is not recommended.

Insulated cabinet smokers generally perform well in cooler weather because they retain heat efficiently, though fuel consumption may increase in extreme conditions.
