Built to enhance the flavor, moisture, and tenderness of your barbecue, the Gateway SIZZLE 55G is designed for those who are serious about their grilling.

The Gateway Difference: Hot & Fast™ Cooking

Gateway Drum Smokers are known for their Hot & Fast™ cooking approach. Unlike traditional low-and-slow smokers that can take all day to cook a meal, the SIZZLE 55G delivers perfectly smoked chicken in just 30 minutes, ribs in 2 hours, and brisket in 4 hours. Cooking at temperatures between 250°F and 325°F, this smoker optimizes vaporization and unites it with the smoke to create an intense tenderizing effect. This unique approach produces barbecue that's juicy, tender, and infused with that sought-after, mouthwatering backyard grill flavor that other cookers simply can’t match.

Crafted for the Passionate BBQ Enthusiast

The Gateway Drum Smoker® SIZZLE 55G was born out of a desire to revolutionize outdoor cooking. Founded in 2012 by husband-and-wife team, Terri and Tim Scheer, Gateway Drum Smokers have taken the barbecue world by storm. The Scheers have a competition BBQ team, Shake 'n Bake, that began winning awards using the Gateway Drum Smoker, inspiring other teams to adopt this revolutionary cooker. The smoker's success and growing popularity have given rise to the Insane Can Posse, a community of BBQ enthusiasts and elite competition teams who share a love for Gateway Drum Smokers.

Features of the Gateway Drum Smoker® SIZZLE 55G

Three Cooking Levels: The 55G offers three cooking levels, giving you the versatility to cook a wide variety of foods simultaneously. Whether you’re preparing brisket, ribs, or burgers, you’ll have plenty of space and control to cook each dish to perfection.

Stainless Steel Cooking Grate (22"): The smoker comes equipped with a durable stainless steel cooking grate, measuring 22 inches. This grate is designed to be strong, easy to clean, and able to handle even the heartiest of barbecue feasts.

High-Capacity Removable Fire Basket: The removable fire basket has a capacity for 8-10 lbs. of charcoal, providing up to 14 hours of smoking. The large capacity means less refueling and more time enjoying your cookout, while the removable design makes clean-up simple and easy.

Fixed, Center-Mounted 3” Custom Dial Thermometer: Temperature control is key to creating great barbecue, and the SIZZLE 55G features a 3-inch custom dial thermometer mounted at the center of the lid. This thermometer accurately measures temperatures between 50°F and 500°F, allowing you to maintain precise control over your cooking environment.

Dual Welded Air-Adjusting Intake Pipes: The smoker's dual welded intake pipes provide precision control over the airflow. Each pipe is welded at the bottom of the drum and curves upwards, with adjustable dampers at the top. These intake pipes accelerate air into the firebox and create a vortex, ensuring optimal distribution of heat and smoke throughout the cooking chamber.

Air-Adjusting Exhaust Pipe: The exhaust pipe also features an adjustable damper, giving you complete control over how the heat and smoke exit the cooking chamber. This feature helps create the perfect balance for tender, juicy barbecue.

Built-in Lid Hook: The lid hook inside the smoker lid makes it easy to check on your food. Simply hang the lid on the drum’s upper rim while you baste or turn your food, keeping it off the ground and your hands free.

Welded Steel Handles: Moving your smoker is made easy with the sturdy welded steel handles on either side of the drum. These handles provide a secure grip, making transportation a breeze, whether you’re taking the smoker to a tailgate or repositioning it in your backyard.

Removable Caster Wheel Kit: Mobility is key, and the SIZZLE 55G features a removable caster wheel kit that makes it easy to move the smoker across your patio, driveway, or wherever the party takes you.

Logo Plate and High-Heat Resistant Paint: The Gateway SIZZLE 55G is not only functional but also visually stunning. The smoker features a prominent logo plate that adds style, while the colorful, high-heat resistant paint can withstand temperatures of up to 450°F, ensuring the smoker remains vibrant even after countless cooking sessions.

Fully Assembled: Unlike many smokers that require hours of setup, the Gateway Drum Smoker® SIZZLE 55G comes fully assembled and ready for use right out of the box. Just add your charcoal and wood, and you're ready to start grilling.
