1. Two 12,000 BTU Stainless Steel Tubular Burners

For any smoker, the burner is the vital part. The design of a burner/s directly impacts the overall cooking process. This amazing smoker sports two powerful tubular burners that are designed for high performance and they do it very well even when the entire unit is packed with meats.

2. Dual Wooden Pans and Push Button Piezoelectric Ignition

Unlike other gas smokers, this smoker features dual wooden pans (boxes). You can easily fill both the boxes with chips and can burn them one after another. You can let the chips in the first box burn completely and then ignite the ones in the second box. Together, the boxes can provide you with 3 hours of smoke without needing any manual interference. On the other hand, the red push piezoelectric ignition button offers the simplest way to light the fire.

3. Powder Coated Steel Sheet Metal Construction

Its powder coated steel sheet metal construction makes it durable and strong. It can withstand rough weather and extreme temperature as well.

4. Five Chrome Plated Steel Cooking Grates

Cooking grates are vulnerable to not only heat, but also to grease and liquid fat that are easily stuck with them even after the smoking is done. So cleaning requires rubbing and repeated heating may cause substantial damage to the grates unless they are plated with strong substances. Chrome is an ideal coating material. This smoker has five chrome-plated grates that include a sausage Hanger, a rib rack and a couple of jerky grids as you can see in the picture.

5. Porcelain Coated Water Pan

The water pan inside the smoker is porcelain coated for durability. It ensures better performance and adds more moisture inside the frame. Both the doors of this gas grill are welded and this double door system is responsible for enhanced moisture and heat control offered by this smoker. This allows the meat to maintain the delicious juices and enable even cooking without drying.

6. Temperature Maintenance

If you compare this vertical LP gas smoker with a charcoal smoker, the former is a lot better at maintaining the temperature. The only thing that matters a lot for using this smoker is the experience you have, as you’ll be working on two burners that are made from stainless steel and independently controlled. Once you get used to using them, it’ll be much easier for you to smoke meat with this smoker.

7. Easy Assembly

The 44-inch smoker is wider than most of the other propane smokers currently available in the market. With such a large build, I thought that its assembly will take a lot of time. However, it only took me about an hour to assemble this smoker. While there are a couple of parts that can frustrate you while assembling it, the whole assembly process is overall pretty straightforward and simple.
