Frequently Asked Questions
DDR BBQ Supply carries gas grills, pellet grills, offset smokers, charcoal grills, Gravity Fed smokers, and specialty outdoor cooking equipment. The collection includes freestanding and built-in configurations, along with models designed for backyard cooking and competition BBQ. Shoppers can compare different fuel types, cooking capacities, temperature-control features, and brands to find equipment suited to their needs.
Pellet grills use compressed wood pellets and an electronically controlled feeding system to help maintain cooking temperatures. Offset smokers burn wood or charcoal in a separate firebox, requiring more direct fire and airflow management. Pellet grills are convenient for temperature-controlled cooking, while offset smokers appeal to cooks who enjoy tending a traditional wood fire and adjusting smoke production throughout the cook.
Gas grills are convenient for everyday meals, with adjustable burners and relatively quick heat control. Charcoal grills offer direct and indirect cooking with charcoal-fired flavor but require managing fuel and airflow. Pellet grills use wood pellets and electronic temperature controls, making them versatile for smoking and roasting. The best choice depends on your cooking preferences, fuel availability, and desired involvement in fire management.
A Gravity Fed smoker uses a vertical charcoal chute that supplies fuel as the charcoal burns. Controlled airflow helps regulate combustion and cooking temperatures. Some models include electronic temperature controllers, while others require more manual adjustment. Gravity Fed smokers are suitable for low-and-slow barbecue, including brisket, ribs, and pork shoulder. Explore DDR BBQ Supply's Gravity Fed Smokers for available options.
DDR BBQ Supply carries grills and smokers from Napoleon, Yoder Smokers, Myron Mixon, Green Mountain Grills, Old Country BBQ Pits, Primo, and Smokin Brothers.

Compare their available models, cooking features, and compatible accessories to find the right match for your needs.
Choose a grill or smoker based on how many people you typically cook for and the size of the foods you prepare. Smaller grills can work well for everyday family meals, while larger smokers provide room for multiple briskets, pork shoulders, or racks of ribs. Consider total cooking area, usable rack space, equipment dimensions, and clearance requirements before purchasing.
For competition BBQ, consider cooking capacity, temperature consistency, fuel management, transportation requirements, and the ability to prepare multiple meats on a schedule. Trailer or competition-cart configurations may be helpful for frequent travel. Models from Yoder Smokers, Myron Mixon, and Old Country BBQ Pits offer different approaches to competition cooking. Choose equipment that fits your preferred process, event requirements, and available setup space.

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.
