The Smoke Vault has a heavy-gauge, steel wood chip tray which creates smoke and a removable water pan to keep your food moist.

MacE NC Verified Purchaser ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 AmazingI highly recommend this smoker. We are going on our 6th year with the 18". Salmon to Boston butt, beer can chicken to mac & cheese there hasn't been anything bad come out of this smoker (except when I fell asleep on a late night cook which was operator error). Extremely fuel efficient I have done 3 separate cooks at 6-10 hours each on one tank. The first 3 years of this smoker lived outside only covered by the Camp Chef cover. There is zero rust. I live in NC which had high humidity and It has seen a lot of rain and some snow. The cover is still holding up but is on its last leg as it's sun bleached and starting to get rips in it. Well worth the money for the cover. One recommendation I have is don't smoke Thanksgiving turkeys, hams, or bbq unless you plan on doing it at every family function from now on because it produces amazing food which I don't mind one bit. It is also pretty portable to load in the truck and take on vacations or to a friends house for a cookout. | Was This Helpful? |
Jim G Peoria, Il. ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Overall smoker reviewEasy to put together, excellent quality smoker and holds temperature nicely. | Was This Helpful? |
JD78 Minnesota Verified Purchaser ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Longevity? Check!This is my TENTH year cooking on the same unit (18"). I want to upgrade to the 24", but I still feel I have many miles on this smoker. How many grills, smokers, etc. are still going after 10 years? And the ignition switch still works, which is just incredible! I live in Northern MN and have smoked from 90 above to 20 below--this thing just gets the job done, period. A+ product. | Was This Helpful? |
Kingger Santa Barbara, CA Verified Purchaser ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Love our new smoke vault!We just got this Smoke Vault for Christmas and couldn't be happier! I meal prep for our week every weekend anyways, so this vault has made my cooking life AMAZING!! All the different types of meat are absolutely scrumptious!! HIGHLY recommend :) | Was This Helpful? |
Briguy Erie PA Verified Purchaser ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Great smoker/great valueI received this smoker as a Christmas gift probably 4-5 years ago and use it often. This smoker has been through a lot! Getting blown over several times in our back yard wind tunnel, left uncovered several times and rained on, cover blew off during a wicked winter storm and left for days buried half way up with snow and it still keeps on producing delicious meat! The only thing we've replaced was the cover in all these years. It still fires right up and seems to just sip on propane, a 20lb bottle seems to last us well over a year and we use it probably 5-10 times a season. Cant say any bad about this smoker. | Was This Helpful? |
Bill C Undisclosed ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Great Product! SUPER VALUE!!ALL positive! Takes a couple of hours to get the hang of temperature control, but worth the study. Lots of room. Jerky {both turkey & beef} turned out super with hickory. Ribs to die for! Smoked Cod WOW! A tank of LP goes a very long way. | Was This Helpful? |
William0523 Undisclosed ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 The BEST!Finally broke down & went from electric to propane. This unit has the best temp. control I've ever seen! Great Jerky, Pulled Pork and Brisket! Very satisfied with low propane consumption. Thanks Camp Chef for a well thought out smoker. Bill | Was This Helpful? |
NeoTropical Undisclosed ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Looks well buit!My 18" Smoke Vautl just arrived yesterday, very well packed, arrived quite Ok, very minor tears in the box. Simple to follow assembling instructions. Seasoned it last night, and doing my first attempt to smoke some pork shoulder ribs today. Will post after I get the feel of it. My first time using a propane smoker, so far I have always used a charcoal/wood. smoker! | Was This Helpful? |
NG30year Undisclosed ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Great SmokerI received this as a corporate gift (great company!) and have used it several times with fantastic results - pork butts, brisket, oysters, pork belly. I never used a smoker until I got the Smoke Vault 18" and found it really easy to set up and use. | Was This Helpful? |
CSD Undisclosed ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5.0 Great SmokerI have owned this for almost 2 years now. I have never had a bad meal while using it. I have smoked just about every kind of meat on it and it comes out tasting better than my favorite barbecue restaurant. I converted mine to natural gas so the convenience of not getting propane tanks. You can literally set this smoker and forget about it. You will only need to add water to the water pan in about 3-4 hours. | Was This Helpful? |

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we’ve all come to expect for small parcels, so it’s important that you’re prepared and understand what’s required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We’ll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can’t be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we’ve only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don’t require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren’t required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you’re home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you’re out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

30-Day Returns
Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.
No Restocking Fee
Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
Message to our customers: Like all retailers and manufacturers, we’re currently experiencing well-publicized supply-chain issues and steel shortages that have caused some orders to be delayed. We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences arising from this situation, and we assure you we’re making every effort to solve these problems with our vendors and logistical partners.
So, why are some orders being affected? Major ports around the world are still operating at reduced capacity because of COVID-19 restrictions — on average, container boats sit at port for about 3 weeks before being unloaded. Combine these shipping inefficiencies with a scarcity of natural resources, and virtually every industry has been crippled to some degree. Yet we acknowledge that it’s our duty to meet these challenges head-on and work toward solutions so you can enjoy more time outdoors with the people you love. We appreciate your patience as we strive to smooth out our supply chain, and we thank you for choosing us for your grilling and outdoor living needs.
