The Backwoods Chubby 3400 vertical charcoal smoker brings competition quality BBQ to your backyard! With four (4) nickel plated racks, the Chubby 3400 has a total 1,023 square inches of cooking area. An extra slider on the stainless steel interior walls allows the height of the racks to be adjusted for a more flexible meat arrangement. A heat diverter plate keeps the heat indirect, which allows for low and slow smoking at temperatures approximately between 180 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit. The stainless steel water pan can be used to keep food moist while cooking, or it can be removed to use the Chubby 3400 as an effective grill. The charcoal tray can hold up to approximately 10 pounds of charcoal at a time. As the charcoal burns, ash falls into a removable ash tray for easy cleanup. Between the stainless steel interior and the powder coated steel exterior is a 1-inch layer of insulation, which assures better fuel efficiency and temperature control. Both the firebox and the cooking compartment have slam latch doors, keeping them tightly closed so heat and smoke are not lost. A thermometer on the cooking compartment door lets you keep an eye on the internal ambient temperature. Weighing only 130 pounds, two people can easily lift and move the Chubby 3400 using the convenient side handles.

ChubbieOk let's understand that this may be lengthily. I have been smoking for over 20 yrs. I have gone from electric to propane to pellet smokers. I decided go back to old school charcoal because I could not get the bark and deep smoke that I wanted. I purchased a backwoods chubby. I seasoned the smoker as required. It required attention to the temperature more than other smokers. The seasoning went well and got the smoker ready to put food on. The water tray is so important I can not stress this more. This will help control the temp and keep the meat moist. The longevity of the burn is awesome. The smoke that it produces was better than an other smoker I have ever used. Now this is not the biggest volume smoker on the market but if you are not doing large production this is an awesome product. The fire box is very substantial and should last for many years. The intensity of the flavor was amazing. Choose your wood carefully because the favor it produces is intense. The first food I did was chicken with apple wood. The smoke ring was @ 1/2 an inch and it was incredibly moist. You may wish to add some apple juice to the liquids (3 parts water to 1 party apple juice) if you want a sweeter taste. The only thing I could suggest is to take your time and get used to controlling the temperature. This smoker is not for the new smokers but for those that are ready to step it up to the next level it is incredible. I highly recommend this product for producing an enjoyable smoking experience. I used hardwood brickets which was a step away from natural hardwood charcoal but worked much better an had a better burn. I can't wait to put a few butts on for the family get together. Thanks you BBQ guys for offering a great product. | Was This Helpful? | |
YesI really like my smoker and it's one of the center pieces of my outdoor kitchen. | Was This Helpful? | |
My first SmokerI have now had the Chubby 3400 for six months and have wonderful results. I have done brisket, pork bellies, and ribs in the 3400 and the have come out amazing. I have attached some pictures of my BBQ cooks with the 3400. Highly recommended!! | Was This Helpful? | |
I highly recommend BBQGUYS and the Chubby 3400!I have smoked pork chops, turkey legs, ribs, Boston Butt and brisket in the short few months I have owned my Chubby 3400. I simply fire it up per the instructional video, prepare my meat of choice and cook! I have cooked up to 10 hours at 225 to 250 deg without having to add coals or water. The simplicity of the smoker is awesome and quality of food is spot on. The Chubby 3400 has exceeded my expectations. The folks at BBQGUYS are fantastic to work with, ordering through delivery and resending my cover that was missing in the original shipment. If you are enthusiastic about back yard cooking you will enjoy the Chubby 3400. | Was This Helpful? | |
Love my Chubby 3400Best ribs ever my family love my ribs ,Us Mcknights takes BBQ serious mine is the best out of everybody. | Was This Helpful? | |
Excellent smokerI've had this smoker for over a decade and have had consistently excellent results. One of the most important things about smoking is maintaining consistent temperature and the Backwoods never disappoints. It is easy to adjust the top and bottom vents to get the exact temperature you need and keep it there.I wish it were a little bigger though. | Was This Helpful? | |
It's the best poultry cooker I have ever hadLove it | Was This Helpful? | |
Phenomenal smokerGreat smoker that can hold temperature on very cold days. I have owned a Backwoods for many years and have made excellent meals. Getting it to temperature can be trickly with the large water pan. I usually don't add the pan and water until after the smoker has reached 300 degrees. I urge you to get casters from the hardware store that you can put on the smoker after it is delivered. The smoker is heavy. | Was This Helpful? | |
Great smokerReceived promptly, box in good condition however a few things were messed up inside but were quickly remedied by Backwoods, which has excellent customer service. I've only smoked a pork butt, home-cured bacon and a couple of whole chickens but they all have exceeded my expectations. I love how the chubby holds a consistent temperature. | Was This Helpful? | |
I would not hesitate to buy this for a second.I Have had a couple cooks now and I have not had one complaint. Food is tender and smokey. I recommend a little extra wood peices in juxtaposition to dry smoking. Despite being made over seas, the chubby 3400 will stand tall with any cooker in terms of quality and food quality. I don't see how people can waste money on a traeger or Egg when you can have a Backwoods smoker. I dealt with Chase and he is an asset to a new owner. Join the Chubby club. The water is just fine. (Full disclosure, I did not purchase from BBQ guys, but I would not hesitate to in the future. | Was This Helpful? |

Things We Love:
Cooks Competition-quality BBQ
Just about everyone thinks their BBQ is competition-worthy, but the Backwoods Chubby 3400 vertical charcoal smoker has everything to help you really reach that level! It comes with several accessories to satisfy even the most season griller, such as the water pan that sits at the bottom of the smoking chamber to coat your food in moisture. Setting up indirect heat for smoking is also easy with the included heat diverter plate, and you can hit temperatures between 180 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit for true low-and-slow cooking.
The four nickel-plated racks provide 1,023 square inches of cooking space, but we particularly love that they can be adjusted depending on what you’re cooking. We were able to fit larger items like eight racks of ribs, four Boston butts, or three briskets with little difficulty. With a slide-out charcoal pan that holds about 10 pounds of fuel, you can put the Backwoods Chubby 3400 to use for hours at a time!
Multiple Uses Make It Extremely Versatile
We love BBQ smoking as much as anyone, but it’s hard not to appreciate this model’s ability to function as a grill by simply removing the water pan. As a bonus, you can add wood into the unit to give your food smoke-infused flavor even when grilled. The Backwoods Chubby 3400 is also relatively easy to move with just two people thanks to its 130-pound frame and built-in side handles for convenience. Put it on your patio, take it to the tailgate, or bring it along as your trusty companion at the next BBQ smoking competition.
Expertly Constructed for Superior Durability
If you want to know what makes the Backwoods Chubby 3400 such a powerful and versatile smoker, look no further than its design. The exterior is made of power-coated steel with thick, 1-inch insulation that keeps temperatures consistent and creates an efficient use of fuel. Both the cooking area and the lower firebox that houses the charcoal tray have slam-latch doors, which further help the unit trap heat and smoke for juicy results. To top it all off, the built-in thermometer on the cooking chamber door shows the internal ambient temperature in an easy-to-read location. All these features come together for an incredible smoking — or grilling — experience!
Things To Consider:
This unit doesn’t include the technological bells and whistles found in some modern smokers, but the Backwoods Chubby 3400’s simplicity is part of what makes it a quality product. With such a straightforward approach to BBQ smoking, no wonder it’s an award-winner in competitions!
