Testing Them Out with Brisket
To help you decide, we cooked two Walmart briskets from Kaufman, Texas—one on each smoker. Frank Cox, our BBQ Pit Engineer, tested them out. We used cherry wood for smoky flavor and simple rubs—no propane or wood pellets, just pure wood fire!

Both briskets cooked were awesome! The Full Size Smokeslinger brisket was juicy and tender. It had a strong smoky flavor and a great bark.
This is the firm, flavorful outside BBQ fans enjoy! The Smokeslinger's temperature zones allow us to adjust it perfectly. It performed well against the Liberty94, providing the same or better quality on that large meat.
The Liberty94 brisket was tender too, with deep, slow-cooked flavor. It needed a bit more time to melt the fat, but it was a classic hit!
