Memorial Day Barbecue on the PR36 Smoker

PR36 Backyard BBQ Smoker

This backyard BBQ smoker is Meadow Creek's most versatile cooker and designed especially for homeowners interested in a heavy duty charcoal grill. It's the perfect size for cooking for family and friends.

Best of all, this backyard smoker cooks a large variety of meats and lets you barbecue the way you want to. It's a charcoal grill with direct heat, a smoker with low temperature, and a pig roaster all in one! Smoke a small hog or a couple pork butts or briskets using indirect heat, and then put the steaks, burgers, and hotdogs on direct heat.

If you need more space, add a 2nd Tier Grate to almost double your cooking area. Or add a charcoal pullout and doors in the lid which lets you check on your meat and load the cooker with charcoal without opening the door and losing a lot of heat and time.

Similar to the SQ36 BBQ Smoker, this barbecue eliminates the offset firebox and adds a drip pan for smoking with indirect heat or roasting a whole pig. Add water or apple juice to the pan and it becomes a water smoker. Build your fire in the grilling pan to grill burgers and other grill foods with high heat.
