Direct Heat Smokers | Texas-Built BBQ Pits | Smokeslinger

Smokeslinger’s direct heat smokers, handcrafted in Kaufman, Texas, deliver bold, smoky BBQ flavor for pitmasters and backyard enthusiasts alike. Our Mini Smokeslinger and Full Size Smokeslinger are built for reliability, offering precise heat control and rugged durability to handle everything from brisket to pork butts. With 4-6 week lead times—faster than competitors’ 40-50 weeks—you’ll be smoking sooner. The Mini Smokeslinger is perfect for smaller gatherings, while the Full Size Smokeslinger tackles large cooks with ease, as seen in our YouTube video “Direct Heat Smoker: How to Smoke 8 Pork Butts” (25,466 views). Both feature heavy-duty steel construction and easy-to-use fireboxes, embodying our “Texas Tough, BBQ Ready” promise.

Why choose direct heat? It’s ideal for intense, smoky flavor and faster cooking compared to offset smokers, making it a favorite for BBQ pros like TD Price, who won a local competition using a Smokeslinger (shared in our Pit Owners Group).
