Will a whole brisket fit?
Measure the grate, not the box
A whole packer brisket runs about 35–45 cm. It lies flat on a long offset grate; on a narrow cabinet rack, separate the point and the flat, or load the racks with ribs, chooks and fish.

First smoker?
Cook a chook before a brisket
It’s cheap, it’s forgiving, and it shows you how your smoker holds heat before the expensive meat goes on.
You’ll want a probe, a few chunks of cherry or pecan, and gloves for the hot grate. See the kit

Buyer’s guide
Every smoker on this page will hold 110°C. What separates them is what they ask of you while they do it: how often you feed the fire, what the fuel costs you over a year, and how much meat fits on the grates. Here’s the straight rundown.
| Type | Babysitting | Fuel | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| OffsetShop offsets | High A split of wood every 45–60 minutes, vents as you go | Split hardwood on a charcoal bed | The deepest smoke ring and bark on the page. A cook you run, not one you set. |
| Charcoal drum & verticalShop charcoal smokers | Medium Light it, set the vents, check it every hour or so | Briquettes or lump, plus a few wood chunks | Big charcoal flavour from very little gear. The cheapest way into real low and slow. |
| Gas cabinetShop gas smokers | Some Burner holds the heat; top up the chip tray every hour | An LPG bottle and wood chips | Steady heat off the same bottle as your BBQ. Lighter smoke than charcoal, lots of rack space. |
| Gravity-fed charcoalShop gravity-fed | Low Fill the hopper, set the temp, a fan does the rest | Lump or briquettes, wood chunks in the chute | Proper charcoal flavour with a digital controller, and it’ll climb hot enough to sear. |
| PelletShop pellet grills | Very low Set it, keep the hopper topped up | Hardwood pellets | Clean, even smoke and true set-and-forget. Bark is a touch softer than a charcoal cook. |
| ElectricShop electric smokers | Lowest Plug in, load the wood, walk away | Mains power plus chips, or Bradley bisquettes | Gentle smoke that suits fish, cheese, jerky and bacon. Some will cold smoke too. |
Be honest about your Saturday. If tending the fire is the fun, an offset is the most rewarding cooker you can own, and nothing else gives that bark. If you want to put a brisket on at 10 pm and sleep through it, look at pellet grills or the Masterbuilt Gravity Series: both hold their set temperature off a fan and a controller, and the WiFi models let you check the pit from bed.
Gas and electric are the cheapest to run per cook. Pellet and gravity-fed sit in the middle because the controller only burns what it needs to hold temperature. Offsets use the most fuel: you’re burning split wood for the whole cook, so factor in a reliable supply of dry ironbark, red gum or fruitwood.
Most of the cookers here quote a cooking area in cm², which tells you total grate space, not shape. A whole packer brisket runs roughly 35–45 cm long, so check the grate depth as well as the number. Vertical cabinets (gas, electric and Bradley) stack their racks, which makes them better for ribs, sausages and fish than their footprint suggests. Horizontal cookers are better for one big piece of meat.
A thin-walled cooker burns more fuel on a cold, windy night in Ballarat than a still summer arvo in Brisbane. Heavier steel holds heat better, and a fitted cover keeps the rust off between cooks. If it lives on a balcony, check your building rules first: electric is usually the one that’s welcome.
