Our take on the Gen 2 Smoker
The Old Country Gen 2 Smoker, model G2-HD, is an offset charcoal smoker built from fully welded carbon steel. Its firebox uses three layers, with mineral wool insulation between two steel shells, which helps the heat stay steady and the fire sheltered from wind and cold. A removable baffle plate lets you balance heat and smoke across the cooking chamber, and it lifts out easily for cleaning or for a direct-flow setup. A built-in smoke collector supports airflow and smoke distribution for more even results. Wagon wheels and front casters help you move its considerable weight.
This smoker suits people who want a sturdy, long-lasting unit for backyard cooking or competition work and who value heat control. Because it is a heavy, charcoal-fueled offset design, it is worth considering the space you have for it, the room needed to move it around, and your comfort with managing a charcoal fire before you buy.
