I highly recommend BBQGUYS and the Chubby 3400!

I have smoked pork chops, turkey legs, ribs, Boston Butt and brisket in the short few months I have owned my Chubby 3400. I simply fire it up per the instructional video, prepare my meat of choice and cook! I have cooked up to 10 hours at 225 to 250 deg without having to add coals or water. The simplicity of the smoker is awesome and quality of food is spot on. The Chubby 3400 has exceeded my expectations. The folks at BBQGUYS are fantastic to work with, ordering through delivery and resending my cover that was missing in the original shipment. If you are enthusiastic about back yard cooking you will enjoy the Chubby 3400.

Excellent smoker

I've had this smoker for over a decade and have had consistently excellent results. One of the most important things about smoking is maintaining consistent temperature and the Backwoods never disappoints. It is easy to adjust the top and bottom vents to get the exact temperature you need and keep it there.I wish it were a little bigger though.

Phenomenal smoker

Great smoker that can hold temperature on very cold days. I have owned a Backwoods for many years and have made excellent meals. Getting it to temperature can be trickly with the large water pan. I usually don't add the pan and water until after the smoker has reached 300 degrees. I urge you to get casters from the hardware store that you can put on the smoker after it is delivered. The smoker is heavy.

Great smoker

Received promptly, box in good condition however a few things were messed up inside but were quickly remedied by Backwoods, which has excellent customer service. I've only smoked a pork butt, home-cured bacon and a couple of whole chickens but they all have exceeded my expectations. I love how the chubby holds a consistent temperature.

I would not hesitate to buy this for a second.

I Have had a couple cooks now and I have not had one complaint. Food is tender and smokey. I recommend a little extra wood peices in juxtaposition to dry smoking. Despite being made over seas, the chubby 3400 will stand tall with any cooker in terms of quality and food quality. I don't see how people can waste money on a traeger or Egg when you can have a Backwoods smoker. I dealt with Chase and he is an asset to a new owner. Join the Chubby club. The water is just fine. (Full disclosure, I did not purchase from BBQ guys, but I would not hesitate to in the future.

The Skinny:

  • Smart design paired with competition-quality results
  • Can be used as a smoker or a grill
  • Total cooking area of 1,023 square inches

Things We Love:

Cooks Competition-quality BBQ

Just about everyone thinks their BBQ is competition-worthy, but the Backwoods Chubby 3400 vertical charcoal smoker has everything to help you really reach that level! It comes with several accessories to satisfy even the most season griller, such as the water pan that sits at the bottom of the smoking chamber to coat your food in moisture. Setting up indirect heat for smoking is also easy with the included heat diverter plate, and you can hit temperatures between 180 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit for true low-and-slow cooking.

The four nickel-plated racks provide 1,023 square inches of cooking space, but we particularly love that they can be adjusted depending on what you’re cooking. We were able to fit larger items like eight racks of ribs, four Boston butts, or three briskets with little difficulty. With a slide-out charcoal pan that holds about 10 pounds of fuel, you can put the Backwoods Chubby 3400 to use for hours at a time!

Multiple Uses Make It Extremely Versatile

We love BBQ smoking as much as anyone, but it’s hard not to appreciate this model’s ability to function as a grill by simply removing the water pan. As a bonus, you can add wood into the unit to give your food smoke-infused flavor even when grilled. The Backwoods Chubby 3400 is also relatively easy to move with just two people thanks to its 130-pound frame and built-in side handles for convenience. Put it on your patio, take it to the tailgate, or bring it along as your trusty companion at the next BBQ smoking competition.

Expertly Constructed for Superior Durability

If you want to know what makes the Backwoods Chubby 3400 such a powerful and versatile smoker, look no further than its design. The exterior is made of power-coated steel with thick, 1-inch insulation that keeps temperatures consistent and creates an efficient use of fuel. Both the cooking area and the lower firebox that houses the charcoal tray have slam-latch doors, which further help the unit trap heat and smoke for juicy results. To top it all off, the built-in thermometer on the cooking chamber door shows the internal ambient temperature in an easy-to-read location. All these features come together for an incredible smoking — or grilling — experience!

Things To Consider:

This unit doesn’t include the technological bells and whistles found in some modern smokers, but the Backwoods Chubby 3400’s simplicity is part of what makes it a quality product. With such a straightforward approach to BBQ smoking, no wonder it’s an award-winner in competitions!

Answer:
Thanks, Dave! Glad you are enjoying your Backwoods Chubby

Asked by daveAnswered by Wesley

 
Question:
Two questions: Someone asked about temp probes;: The probes I use have flexible and thin cabling; I assume those the doors can close on those cables and thus temp probes can be used. Q #2 - is there a recommended electronic temp regulator for this unit? I believe I saw one, but wanted to confirm.

Answer:
Hi John. Yes, the cables will be fine granted they are the braided metal kind. We have a variety of temperature controllers on site (www.bbqguys.com/grill-accessories/bbq-temperature-controllers)

Asked by johnAnswered by Joey, BBQGuys Expert

Answer:
I use the probes, thin wires, and run them out the door. I think it's fine. No smoke or heat release due to the rubber trim placed around the interior door. I love this smoker.

Question:
Does the smoker get hot on the outside where it might cause a burn if you touch it and can it be returned if not satisfied with its performance after it's initial use?

Answer:
Hello Thomas! The outside of the Backwood Smoker Chubby 3400 is well insulated. The outside will cooking will be warm but should not be hot enough to burn you. Unfortunately, per our return policy items must be in unused, unassembled condition and returned in the original packaging within 30 days of delivery.

Question:
Hey there, At 100+ lbs, it doesn't make for good mobility. Seems as though where ever I position it, is where it's going to be staying. Does it come with wheels or something that would make it easier to move? If no, do you think wheels could be added as a modification? Thanks!

Answer:
Hi there! Backwoods actually does sell castors for the feet of this grill, it is our item number 3062587. The 3 inch feet already have a pre-drilled caster bolt hole pattern on bottom. It will also raise your grill up 6 inches. Give us a call at 877-743-2269 and we can get them ordered for you!

Question:
Can you add an extension to the chimney so you have the smoker inside a screened in porch? If so, where can you buy an extension?

Answer:
Hi Heather, thanks for asking. It is not recommended to use any grill or smoker inside of any enclosure. The most cover that is recommended is a covered patio ceiling, but not enclosed with any screens or walls. If you have any other questions please message us on Live Chat or call 877-743-2269 and we'll be happy to help.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we’ve all come to expect for small parcels, so it’s important that you’re prepared and understand what’s required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We’ll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can’t be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we’ve only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don’t require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren’t required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you’re home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you’re out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
