The Stockton Vertical Smoker is designed to maximize cooking capacity while minimizing footprint. Its vertical layout allows you to stack multiple racks of food without expanding your cooking space, making it ideal for patios, trailers, or tight competition setups.
The adjustable rack system allows you to load all eight racks for maximum capacity or remove racks to accommodate larger cuts of meat. This flexibility makes the Stockton equally effective for ribs, pork shoulders, briskets, and mixed cooks.
At the core of its performance is the variable damper system located between the firebox and cooking chamber. This feature allows you to fine-tune airflow and heat levels, giving you the ability to create controlled temperature swings when needed. This level of control is especially valuable for experienced pitmasters managing different cooking styles within the same pit.

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.
