Our pick for the best smoker overall: oklahomajoes’ Bronco! ⤵️ Pros: 🥩 Well-thought-out details 🥩 Affordable 🥩 Quality materials 🥩 New access door makes it easy add charcoal and wood, no matter the length of the smoke The main reason the Bronco is our pick for best overall smoker is that it brings unique and thoughtful ideas to the typical drum smoke design. For just under $400 you get heavy-duty construction with thick steel throughout, a great air management system, and gasketed lid. The soft-touch handle and proper thermometer placement are two other features that make the Bronco a joy to use. For those that are into smoking ribs or larger birds, there is also a stainless steel hanging system that uses rods and hooks which can be used after removing the top grilling grate. A sturdy handle on one side and a wire mesh shelf on the other side round up the features of the Bronco.
