Here are just a few of the features that make the Hunsaker Vortex Smoker the best drum smoker on the market:

• Vortex charcoal basket system: This system creates a swirling, smoky sauna for your meat, resulting in evenly cooked, flavorful food.
• Floating hinge lid system: This system makes it easy to get in and out of the smoker, so you can check on your food without losing heat. New, rear style handle is included.
• Unique floor-mounted foot-control air intake system: This system makes it easy to control the temperature of your smoker, so you can cook your food to perfection.
• 5-position adjustable grate system: This system lets you set the cooking height to your liking, so you can cook a variety of foods.
• Heavy-duty stainless steel food grates: These grates are built to last, so you can use them for years to come.
• High-temperature ceramic paint: This paint is durable and heat-resistant, so it will keep your smoker looking great for years to come.
• Brushed stainless steel exterior parts: These parts are rust-resistant and will last for a lifetime.
• Ergonomic lid lift handle: This handle makes it easy to lift and lower the lid, so you can check on your food without straining your back.
• Over-sized 8" rear wheels: These wheels make it easy to transport the smoker, so you can take it with you to tailgates, camping trips, and more.
• Locking swivel caster: This caster makes it easy to move the smoker and lock it in place, so it doesn't move around when you're cooking.
• Exhaust-mounted stainless steel thermometer: This thermometer gives you an accurate reading of the temperature inside the smoker, so you can cook your food to perfection.
• Heat deflector: This deflector helps to protect the paint on your smoker, so it will last for years to come. (Heat deflector only included in glossy colors. Flat black smoker does not need a heat deflector.)
