      Why Choose the HPC Fire Inspired Drum Smoker?

      Meet the drum smoker that takes outdoor cooking to a new level. The HPC Fire Inspired Stainless Steel Drum Smoker isn’t just another backyard smoker—it’s your ticket to mastering the art of BBQ with style. What sets it apart? It’s all about that patented Vortex Technology, which means more control, better flavor, and less fuss. With a design that keeps smoke circulating evenly, you’ll get that deep, mouth-watering flavor in every bite, without the constant temperature juggling you might face with other smokers.

      Made from 304 stainless steel, this drum smoker is designed to last. Its commercial grade blend of nickel and chromium gives you the perfect blend making sure whether or not any season you face is not an issue. Designed to be rust and stain resistant giving you years of smokey goodness. 

      Patented Vortex Technology: How It Works & Why It Matters

      The Vortex system is the smoker’s secret weapon, designed with precision for BBQ enthusiasts who demand the best. Using a dual intake vane system, fresh air is drawn through side intake tubes, then guided by 12 internal blades to create a vortex inside the smoker. The result? A perfect blend of heat and smoke that envelops your food, ensuring even cooking from every angle. With the controlled top exhaust, you can adjust smoke levels to your liking, making it easy to maintain those ideal low-and-slow temperatures. It’s a game-changer for anyone serious about achieving that perfect smoke ring.

      Extended 18-Hour Cook Time for Hassle-Free Smoking

      No one likes babysitting their smoker all day. That’s where the HPC Fire Drum Smoker shines—its efficient design lets you smoke up to 18 hours on a single load of lump charcoal. Whether you’re preparing a feast for a backyard gathering or tackling a competition-grade brisket, you can set it and forget it, knowing that the smoker’s even heat distribution will keep your food in that sweet spot for hours. Spend more time savoring your meal and less time managing the fire.

      Ample Two-Rack Cooking Space

      Designed with a tall, cylindrical body, this drum smoker offers a two-rack structure, giving you the flexibility to smoke multiple food items at once. Picture this: you’re cooking ribs, chicken, and veggies all at the same time without cramming them in.

      Shipping & Delivery Details

      This Shipping Policy applies to orders shipped within the United States (excluding Hawaii & Alaska). By placing an order with us, you accept the policies contained herein.

      Enjoy free shipping for orders over $99. Orders under $99 pay a flat shipping fee of $10.95. Benefit from complimentary shipping for your entire purchase delivered straight to your home, even for the larger items! *Applies only within the Continental US.

      Estimated Delivery Time

      Post shipment, anticipate your items within a timeframe of 3-5 business days. We utilize UPS and FedEx for smaller items. It's crucial to note that more substantial items and certain orders are dispatched via freight. Freight shipping is somewhat more intricate compared to regular parcel deliveries, hence understanding the process in advance ensures a smooth delivery experience.

      Freight Shipment Specifics

      The majority of freight items are shipped on pallets. Some delivery companies will reach out to fix a delivery slot, whereas others aim to drop off your order at the most accessible spot nearest to your home, preferably close to a garage. The shipping confirmation email will detail the specific delivery procedure to anticipate.

      For Scheduled Delivery

      Companies that arrange delivery slots necessitate your presence for the delivery and your signature for confirmation. Deliveries are made using a semi-truck with lift gate services, placing the shipment by the curb. Should you grant permission for the delivery to be left unsupervised, BBQ Kitchen Pros cannot assume responsibility for any ensuing damages. The process might seem daunting, but for a comprehensive understanding, we recommend you peruse our thorough freight delivery guide to prevent unforeseen challenges.

      For Non-Scheduled Deliveries

      Delivery services that don't operate on appointments don't mandate your presence or a scheduled delivery slot. There's also no signature required upon receipt. Without the hassle of scheduling or waiting around, let the delivery come to you. If you're home during the drop-off, the driver can be asked to place your items in the garage. If you're away, they'll position it close to the garage or main entry.

      Dispatch Timeframe

      Items are typically dispatched from our warehouse within 1-3 business days. Affordable $10.95 Flat-Rate Shipping Orders below $99+ benefit from a consistent shipping rate. As your purchase value goes up, your shipping charge remains unchanged!

It shipped much quicker than expected and was delivered on a pallet. Have someone help unpack it as its quite heavy. Emptying out the boxes from bottom cabinet helps to decrease the weight when you lift it right-side up. Assembly was straight forward. It probably took more time to remove the protective plastic covering on the grill than to put everything together. It was a little tricky to put the ethernet cable plug for the wifi antenna through the round grommet though. The wifi setup was a little confusing at first. It had to be first done on the phone without the app. Then the rest was all through the Memphis app. So how does it work It's amazing. The temperature control was quite good. Using my thermoworks smoke I kept an eye on the temp fluctuations and it wavers about 10 degrees /- from the set temp. Smoking ribs at 225 was as easy as setting the temp and watching for the meat to come to temp. Coming from a Weber propane and a Weber charcoal grill it was do much easier. I could never get 225F on the propane grill with constantly fidgeting with the fire. Also no more smoker box! The ribs were delicious and I think better than our local BBQ joint (45min drive away). Can't wait to put a brisket on to see how it will turn out. It is $$$$ but the 304 stainless, oven-quality gasket and the brains controlling the temp makes it worth every dollar.
