Offset Smokers

What you get

Are you as excited and passionate about barbecue as I am? Then it’s time to take a closer look at real, well-built offset smokers, made for the backyard enthusiast. They are designed fully inline with my offset smoker manifesto, and they are very robust and have plenty of capacity. Every detail in the construction has been revised to offer top notch offset smokers that, with you as pit master, will put out incredible meals.

Working Height

Getting the smoker up to proper working height may seem like a small thing, but in the long run it makes a big difference.

Hank’s True Smokers™ are built for the modern man, meaning it’s first shelf or rack is at the same height as a modern kitchen counter.

Capacity

Even though this smoker is labeled ‘backyard size’, it sure has plenty of capacity.

With two large slideout racks you can load this smoker up with 4 briskets, or 8 slabs of pork ribs, or 12 pork butts. That’s a lot of food for a lot of people, so you’re set for the summer.

Engineering

Any well-designed smoker needs to ‘breathe’ properly. The smoke stack as well as the collector has been designed with that in mind.

A good draught helps pull fresh air through the firebox for a clean burn.

What that means in layman’s terms is that this smoker will get you that thin blue smoke, which is a guarantee for great tasting food. No more over smoked food that’s tough on the palate.

Hank's Offset Smoker - Food Chamber

Hank’s True Smokers™ don’t have any vents anywhere. Instead they’re built on the Free Flow principle. If you want to run a hotter fire, simply add more logs. If you want to bring temp down, leave it for a while and then add thinner logs less often.

Models Available

There’s currently one model available, made for the backyard enthusiast looking for an honest, very well built offset smoker. It will be your companion for years to come.

This is a true classic. A straight flow smoker, built to deliver. There is no vent on the fire box, and it has a fat stack. This ensures a clean burning fire that’s gonna improve the flavor of the food you’re cooking.
