Enjoy steady temperatures, efficient charcoal use, and authentic low-and-slow flavour with the Lewis BBQ MFG Drum Smoker.

​

Designed for consistent performance, the Lewis Drum maintains precision heat and rock‑steady temperatures, giving you the freedom to focus on flavour instead of fire management. Whether you’re cooking low and slow or running hot for a backyard feast, this drum delivers dependable results every time.  With over 1,400 sq in of usable cooking space, you’ll have room for briskets, ribs, poultry, and more, all inside a compact, efficient footprint.

 

Simple to Run. Built to Perform.

The Lewis BBQ MFG Drum Smoker is built for everyday BBQers and pitmasters who want steady temperatures, outstanding fuel efficiency, and authentic charcoal-smoked flavour without complicated controls. Designed and handcrafted in Alberta, Canada, our drum smoker uses natural vertical airflow to maintain consistent heat throughout long cooks. Whether you are smoking brisket, ribs, pork shoulder, chicken, or sausage, it delivers dependable low-and-slow performance in a compact, easy-to-use design.

​

What truly sets it apart is our exclusive front access system. Lewis BBQ MFG is the only Canadian manufacturer offering a drum smoker with a full front access door, giving you convenient access to every cooking level and the charcoal basket without removing your food or dismantling the smoker.  This is traditional drum-smoker performance made smarter.

​

Exclusive Front Access Door:  Access Your Fire Without Disturbing the Cook

Traditional drum smokers require you to remove the lid, food, and cooking grates whenever you need to reach the charcoal basket. That means lost heat, interrupted airflow, and unnecessary frustration during longer cooks.  The Lewis BBQ MFG Drum Smoker changes that.

​

Its full front access door allows you to reach every level of the smoker, including the charcoal basket, while your food remains safely in place. Add fuel, adjust your wood chunks, check your charcoal, or turning your racks & protiens without taking apart your entire cooking setup.  It is a feature you will appreciate every time you cook.

The front access door allows you to:

• Add charcoal during extended cooks

• Add wood chunks for additional smoke flavour

• Check or adjust the charcoal basket

• Reach every cooking level

• Reduce unnecessary heat loss

• Rotate your grates during a cook

• Keep food and cooking grates in place

​

Why Choose a Drum Smoker?

Drum smokers are known for their simplicity, stability, and impressive fuel efficiency. Their vertical cooking design creates a natural draw that helps maintain steady temperatures while circulating heat and smoke around the food.

Compared with larger offset smokers, a drum smoker requires less fuel and less space while still producing deeply smoked barbecue with excellent bark and moisture retention.

The Lewis BBQ MFG Drum Smoker is an ideal choice for new BBQ enthusiasts, experienced pitmasters, competition cooks, and anyone looking for dependable charcoal-smoking performance. It's truly built for backyard BBQ and beyond.

​

The Lewis BBQ MFG Drum Smoker is perfect for:

• Backyard pitmasters

• First-time smoker owners

• Family gatherings

• Competition BBQ teams

• Cabins and acreages

• Camping and hunting camps

• Tailgating
