Copper Ridge
95 gallon offset smoker
Where Backyard BBQ Becomes True Pitmaster Craft.
The Copper Ridge 95 Gallon Offset Smoker is built for those ready to leave ordinary grilling behind and embrace the art of authentic wood-fired barbecue.
This is more than a smoker. It's an invitation to slow down, tend the fire, and create barbecue the way it was meant to be.
Proudly handcrafted in Alberta by Lewis BBQ MFG, the Copper Ridge combines traditional offset design with premium Canadian craftsmanship.
Every weld, every cut, and every detail is built with one goal: producing clean smoke, consistent temperatures, and unforgettable flavour.
With a spacious 48" × 24" cooking chamber paired with a 24-inch diameter firebox, you'll have the room and control needed to master everything from brisket and pork shoulder to ribs, turkey, sausage, and family-sized cooks. The carefully designed airflow promotes clean-burning fires and even heat distribution, giving you the confidence to cook low and slow or raise the temperature when the recipe calls for it.
Inside, the full-width slide-out cooking grate provides generous cooking space while making loading, rotating, and cleaning effortless. Every feature has been thoughtfully designed to improve the cooking experience, from the integrated wood storage rack and grease management system to the heavy-duty castors that allow you to move the smoker with ease.
Finished with a traditional boiled linseed oil coating, every Copper Ridge develops its own rich patina over time. Each cook leaves its mark, telling the story of countless briskets, family gatherings, and weekends spent around the fire.
The Copper Ridge isn't simply a backyard smoker.
It's your first step into becoming a true pitmaster.
No two pitmasters cook exactly the same and your smoker shouldn't either.

Why choose an offset smoker over a pellet grill?
If you're looking for authentic barbecue, an offset smoker delivers an experience that pellet grills simply can't replicate. Cooking over real hardwood creates deeper smoke flavour, a richer bark, and complete control over your fire. While pellet grills offer convenience, the Copper Ridge is built for those who enjoy the process of tending a live fire and mastering traditional wood-fired barbecue.
