Key Features

Award winning design for competition quality food in your backyard
  • Four adjustable nickel plated racks give a total 1,023 square inches of cooking area
  • Can reach temperatures between 180 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit for low and slow smoking
  • Can smoke 8 racks of ribs, 3 briskets or 4 Boston butts at a time
  • Water pan can be removed to use the smoker as a grill
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.

Phenomenal smoker

Great 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.

Great smoker

Received 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.

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.

The Skinny:

  • Can be used as a smoker or a grill
  • Total cooking area of 1,023 square inches

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!

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.
