HUNSAKER VORTEX SMOKERS™ are designed and built in the USA to be the best drum smoker on the market.
Whether you cook hot & fast or low & slow, you'll love the amazing results you'll achieve with the patented Hunsaker Vortex Smoker.
Every feature is engineered to help you turn out award-winning results, at home or on the competition trail.
We have put a lot of thought and engineering into this cooking machine. We're a small company that builds each smoker in our shop and we ensure quality products leave our shop.

The Vortex Difference
The "engine" of the Hunsaker Vortex Smoker is the Vortex Charcoal Basket. The Vortex basket helps minimize hot spots and produce consistent quality barbecue.
