Is the Brazos DLX made from heavy-duty steel?

Can I cook with both wood and charcoal?
Yes. This offset smoker can be fueled with wood or charcoal, giving you flexibility for authentic smoked flavor and heat management.
Does the counterweight lid make a big difference?
Yes. The counterweight helps offset the weight of the steel cook chamber lid, making it easier to open and close while checking food, rotating meats, or managing the cook.
Is this smoker good for brisket?

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.
