🌫️ VERTICAL CHARCOAL SMOKING

The vertical cabinet allows heat and smoke to move through several cooking levels. An integrated heat diffuser and air circulator help distribute heat throughout the smoking chamber.

👨‍🍳 CASAGRILL RECOMMENDS

For low-and-slow smoking, stabilise the temperature gradually using the air vents and avoid opening the smoker unnecessarily. Food-safe smoking wood can be added to the charcoal for additional smoke flavour.

🏡 IDEAL FOR

Backyards, open patios, gardens, holiday homes, larger families and BBQ enthusiasts who want traditional charcoal and wood-smoke flavour.

⚠️ SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Pit Boss specifies this smoker for outdoor and household use only. Place it on a stable, non-combustible surface and maintain the required clearance from combustible materials.

Never use petrol or alcohol to ignite charcoal and never add lighter fluid to already burning coals. Do not operate inside garages, tents, rooms or enclosed or semi-enclosed areas because of carbon-monoxide risk. Allow charcoal and ash to cool completely before disposal.
