5 Ways a Premium Smoker Enhances Your Slow Smoked Meats

Do you really need a premium smoker to get the best results out of your meat?

If you're serious about flavor, consistency, and memorable results, you do, especially if you're working with a great deal of meat on the regular.

Here are five reasons why a premium smoker is worth the investment.

#1) Heat Retention

Smokers that lose heat deliver an uneven cooking experience. You want thick metal walls and good insulation, along with doors that close tightly and seal well. You want all that heat to stay right where you put it: inside the unit, cradling your meat, cooking it slowly but surely.

For example, we make our cabinet smokers with 11 gauge steel seam welded on both the outside and inside. Then we sandwich 2000 degree military grade insulation between the layers to make sure heat doesn't escape. We also fully flange and gasket the doors to make sure all the heat remains sealed inside.

#2) Heat Control

Precision is everything when you're smoking. A premium smoker like ours comes with excellent temperature gauges so you know exactly how hot your meat is getting and how long you should cook it.

Once you get your meat up to the right temperature you want to know it's going to stay there. Our smokers will maintain a consistent temperature for all the hours you'll need to cook your meat.

#3) Smoke Distribution

Even smoke distribution is the best way to get a consistent flavor. As with your heat, you want the smoke to remain inside the unit where it belongs. You want the meat to be exposed to the smoke in a steady, consistent way.

It's often helpful to get a smoker that will ensure there's no temperature differential from one cooking grate to the other, ensuring the smoker will be at the same temperature and will receive the same smoke distribution no matter where you place your food. This can make it easier to get outstanding results.

#4) Durability

When you buy a smoker you don't want to be replacing it over and over again. You want a smoker that will last for years. Maybe even a lifetime.

You will, of course, have to follow the maintenance instructions to make the most of any pit or smoker. Nevertheless, if you do, you should rest assured that your pit or smoker will be with you for a lifetime.

#5) Versatility

Premium smokers like ours allow you to smoke large quantities of meat at a time. They also allow you to experiment with different flavors, woods, and smoking techniques until you find the one that works for you.

A good smoker will also accommodate any skill level, from the beginner all the way up to the competing expert.

Some even come with a grill attached, so you can enjoy both grilling and smoking for a wide range of BBQ options.
