If you want the cooking capacity to handle serious BBQ without sacrificing control, the Myron Mixon MMS-48 H2O Water Smoker delivers. Built in the USA and designed by five-time world BBQ champion Myron Mixon, this insulated charcoal water smoker uses a patented water pan system to regulate heat and humidity so you can cook hot and fast or traditional low and slow with reliable results.
The large vertical cabinet and multiple rack positions allow you to cook large quantities of brisket, pork butts, ribs, poultry, and more while maintaining even temperatures throughout the cooking chamber. The automated water fill system maintains proper moisture levels during long cooks, helping produce rich bark, crisp poultry skin, and tender, juicy meat from top rack to bottom.
Why You'll Love It- Made in the USA with heavy-duty construction

The patented water pan system inside the Myron Mixon MMS-48 H2O Water Smoker helps regulate cooking temperatures while circulating moisture through the chamber. This humid cooking environment helps meats retain moisture while still allowing pitmasters to develop deep bark and balanced smoke flavor.
The automated refill system keeps the water level consistent throughout long cooks without repeatedly opening the smoker. Combined with the insulated cabinet design, this creates stable cooking conditions that competition pitmasters rely on.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
