Adventures on the Meadow Creek BX50 Box Smoker

Meadow_Creek_BX50_Smoker_5

I just returned from a week long trip to Iowa where Marlin runs our sales office and warehouse. A highlight of the trip was cooking on the Meadow Creek BX50 Smoker. One day we loaded it with St. Louis ribs, chickens, pork loin, and pork butts. A couple days later we cooked ribs, chicken, loin, and a turkey. Here are a bunch of shots from these cooks to bring you closer to the BX50 and tantalize your taste buds with delicious barbecue produced on this smoker.

Is the Meadow Creek Box Smoker Reverse Flow?

Since we started talking about Meadow Creek’s BX50 Cabinet Smoker, some people have wondered how the air flow works.

How is the BX50 arranged for smoke flow? Obviously it is a water smoker, but I am trying to figure out if it is a reverse flow or not. I see the smoke exits out the top, but where is the smoke entering the chamber?

The BX50 is not reverse flow; however, it is insulated and holds a consistent temperature very well. It’s an upright smoker with the fire box in the bottom and a water pan, steel plates, and a grease pan separating the fire from the food.

Meadow Creek Cabinet Smoker Is Live

I just want to let everyone know that Meadow Creek has just finished developing a brand new cabinet smoker.

As you probably know, box smokers are smashing contests right now. They are also popular with backyarders because they’re compact, easy to use, and efficient to run.

Combined with Meadow Creek’s 30+ year tradition of outstanding quality and service, this new box smoker is setting the woods on fire!

Melvin chose two of his friends to test this smoker last summer. The agreement was that they could use the smoker for free, if they bring it back at the end of the season and give their feedback before Meadow Creek launches it to the public.

One of these guys is a backyarder. At the end of the season, he said, “You can’t have this thing back. It works so well, I’m keeping it!” Melvin gave in and sold it to him.

Doesn’t that say a lot about Meadow Creek’s design process and their quality of work? The guy couldn’t help but fall in love with the smoker already at the testing stage.

I just talked with Melvin at Meadow Creek, and he told me they’ve already sold 25 of these smokers. He is surprised at how fast this thing is taking off. They even have three custom commercial trailers in design stage right now with these smokers on the drawing.

This smoker will appeal to backyarders, competitors, and even commercial chefs.
