Yoder Smokers Durango 20″ Vertical Offset Smoker

The Yoder Smokers Vertical Smoker, “The Durango” is the Swiss Army Knife of barbecue pits.  It will allow you to slow smoke sausage, cheese, fish & jerky in the vertical chamber, barbecue ribs, pork, brisket & chicken in the horizontal chamber and grill steaks, burgers and hot dogs in the firebox all at the same time.  From hors d’oeuvres to the main course, a great time is served. The Durango gives new meaning to “getting the party started.”

Providing up to 2,681 total inches of cooking surface: 342 square inches of direct grilling surface in the firebox, 1,235 (with optional 2nd shelf) square inches of horizontal indirect grilling surface and 1,104 square inches (4 shelves @ 276 square inches each) of slow smoking surface in the vertical chamber.

Quickly achieve 700 degrees for searing steak, 400 degrees for indirect grilling, 200 – 250 degrees for barbecuing or down to 150 degrees for slow smoking and warming. Yes, it’s that versatile.
