The Benefits of Vertical Smokers for Compact Spaces

You live in a smaller home with a smaller yard. As a result, you haven't done much bbqing, grilling, or smoking. You may have even believed them to be out of reach. 

But here's the truth: there is a way to smoke meat, even if all you have to work with is a small apartment porch (so long as a smoker isn't nixed by a lease agreement). Vertical smokers are the compact way to enjoy authentic smoked meat while using up very little space.

You don't need a huge device to enjoy incredible smoked meat, and a vertical smoker is known for being both beginner friendly and easy to use. So you can take advantage of smoking even if you've never done very much of it before.

This might just be your chance to meet every neighbor on your block. Check out our mini insulated cabinet smoker for one of the best options.

Here are a few more of the core benefits.

Fuel Economy

Space-saving design isn't the only advantage of a vertical smoker. They offer a high fuel burn efficiency rate, which means you don't need a huge wood pile or to store massive amounts of charcoal. A small bag will do.

You'll also enjoy faster cooking times, which is nice if your busy schedule has been another barrier to smoking meat for yourself.

Versatility

Don't let the compact size fool you. You can cook all sorts of things in your cabinet smoker, including:

• Chicken

• Ribs

• Vegetables

• Cheese

• Fish

• Fruits

You'll open up a world of new culinary possibilities. Plus, four built-in racks makes it possible to smoke several items at once. You can create a whole meals in there, making holidays, celebrations, family times, and even weekend meal prep into an easy and stress-free proposition. 

Low Maintenance

A vertical smoker is extremely easy to clean, with removable water pans and ash catchers to help you simplify the process. The water pan catches the drippings which reduce fire hazards. Other than cleaning and regular inspections, vertical smokers don't need much TLC, though you should protect them from the rain if you can. 

Caveats

Proper ventilation is essential no matter what type of smoker you're using. Never use a smoker indoors.
