Rankings
The Masterbuilt MB20051316 is a 40-inch vertical propane smoker featuring ThermoTemp automatic temperature regulation and a generous 960 sq in cooking area. Its large size and lack of digital features make it less portable and limit high-heat options. Ideal for large gatherings where set-and-forget convenience outweighs the need for advanced connectivity.
The Royal Gourmet CC2036F is a large-capacity 2-in-1 charcoal grill and offset smoker built with heavy-gauge porcelain-enameled steel. It sacrifices digital temperature control and portability for sheer cooking space and durability. Best for big outdoor gatherings where manual heat management is acceptable.
