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

The Backwoods Smokers G2 Fatboy is an insulated, reverse-flow vertical water smoker built for serious backyard cooks, caterers, and teams who want repeatable results on ribs, brisket, and pork—without moving up to a much larger cabinet.

Its deeper cooking chamber is designed to fit a full-size steam pan, reducing trimming, while the larger water and charcoal pans are intended to extend your cook window before refills—especially useful for overnight or long-service cooks.

Over the long haul, you’re buying into a heavily insulated platform with stainless steel doors and heavy-gauge racks—choices that matter when you care about heat stability, recovery after door opens, and owning the smoker for years.

This smoker is for you if:

• You want “set the pace and stay there” temps for traditional low-and-slow (about 180–300°F).
• You value moisture management and a water-smoker style of cooking.
• You like the idea of longer intervals between adding water/charcoal on extended cooks.
• You cook for groups and want capacity for multiple briskets, butts, or rib racks in one run.
• You prefer an insulated cabinet for better stability in variable weather.

This smoker is not for you if:

• You want push-button automation or built-in digital control (not specified by manufacturer).
• You need a lightweight unit you can easily move solo—this is a substantial cabinet smoker (weight not specified by manufacturer).
• You prefer a dry-cooking cabinet (this model is built around a permanent water pan).
• You want high-heat grilling performance (this is designed as a smoker; grilling performance not specified by manufacturer).

Control the Cook—Hold the Result

Consistent Temps Without Constant Tweaks

2" insulation and a cabinet format support steadier heat so you spend more time cooking and less time chasing swings.

More Capacity Without Jumping to a Giant Cabinet

Four racks and a deeper chamber let you scale brisket/butt/rib output while staying in a manageable footprint.

Longer Stretches Between Refills

A larger water and charcoal pan design is intended to extend run time before you add water or charcoal.

Less Trimming, Cleaner Workflow

The extra depth is designed to fit a full-size steam pan and reduce the need to trim large cuts.
