Johnstown Gen 2 Smoker

Description
Engineered for serious pitmasters, the Prime Grill Shop Johnstown Gen 2 Smoker is built to deliver superior performance, heat control, and durability in any condition. Constructed from heavy-duty 1/4-inch thick carbon steel and fully welded, this offset smoker is designed to hold steady heat while resisting warping and wear through years of demanding use.

Its triple-layer insulated firebox protects your fire from wind and weather while maximizing fuel efficiency. The smoke collector and removable baffle plate ensure balanced heat and smoke throughout the chamber, so every rack cooks evenly—whether you’re smoking ribs low and slow or firing hot for brisket bark. For added versatility, the baffle plate lifts out for direct-flow cooking.

Despite its substantial build, the Johnstown Gen 2 remains easy to maneuver thanks to its large wagon wheels and front casters. With 900 square inches of total cooking space, this smoker is ready to take on everything from backyard barbecues to competition cook-offs.
