Choose Your Offset Smoker Build

Open style keeps the chassis bare, the way most pitmasters run their stick burner. The build is lighter, the price is lower, and you have access to the chamber from every side. Every offset smoker in the Outlaw lineup is offered open, from the Patio to the BFO.

An enclosed build wraps the chassis in steel cabinetry: covered storage for wood, tools, and supplies, with doors that keep weather out and your gear where you left it. It gives your offset smoker a cleaner look at catered events and competitions. Underneath, it is the same pit, the same firebox, and the same 7 gauge steel.

With a front load firebox there is no need to get on and off your porch to throw sticks. The door faces the cooking side, the fire basket slides out toward you, and tending the fire becomes part of the cook instead of a walk around the pit. Standard on the Patio models and the 2860 Special, and the natural pick for porches and the Express trailer.

Side load puts the firebox on the end of the chamber, the classic offset smoker profile with the stack opposite the fire. It keeps the long side of your pit clear, which matters on tight trailer decks and crowded competition sites. Hybrids and the BFO are side load only, by design.
