Run a Long Low and Slow Smoke in This Stainless Steel Drum Smoker

The HPC Fire Stainless Steel Drum Smoker is built for a long low and slow smoke on one bag of lump charcoal, and HPC says that can run up to 18 hours. Its conical head lets food sit higher in the drum, which HPC says helps avoid hot spots. It burns charcoal with wood chunks on top and uses no gas.

Key Features

Inlet and outlet vents: adjust both to hold your temperature for a long low and slow smoke.
Vortex Blade: a perforated plate smooths rising smoke and heated air and catches drippings.

Two rack design: smoke several food items at once.
Locking front wheel: lock it where you set the smoker down, so it stays put.

The Full Picture

For a homeowner building an outdoor kitchen, this stainless steel drum smoker gives you low and slow charcoal smoking in #304 stainless steel. It is a charcoal drum smoker, so you set the temperature with the inlet and outlet vents and stay with it, because HPC's manual says never to leave it unattended. To load it, lift out the Hook Rack, Grill Rack and Vortex Blade, fill the Bucket, and put them back once it reaches your temperature.

This vortex drum smoker runs on HPC's patented Vortex technology, which HPC says cooks and smokes food evenly. Airflow starts at the intakes:

Opposed intakes: two adjustable intakes spin air clockwise into the bottom of the fuel basket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use it in a garage?

No. The manual says to use it only outdoors, in a well ventilated area away from flammable materials, and never in a garage or enclosed space.

How should I store it between smokes?

Once it has cooled, close and latch the lid, shut all the vents, and keep it out of wet weather.

How do I light it?

Use a chimney starter or an electric starter made for charcoal, never newspaper. Close the lid with both vents fully open to get the fire going, then adjust the vents to your cooking temperature.

Roll the smoker into place, light the charcoal and settle in for a long smoke. Talk through your smoker setup with a Resorts Depot product expert.
