Backwoods Fatboy vs Humphrey Battlebox
Thanks in advance for any advice on these smokers!
I am looking at these two smokers for competitions. Mainly, I’ll just cooking brisket or ribs on it. As far as quality goes, I know the backwoods has a permanent water pan, 2” insulation and weighs 340 pounds. I’m not quite sure on the Humphreys but it has a lot of hype. Any advice or reviews of the two in regards of quality / completion cooking? |

The Humphrey's has a removable water pan. I have a Pint and find that I don't use water. They're built really well and will not be affected by cold. I regularly cook in sub-freezing temps and wind. I can't compare to the other smoker, but compared to my Weber's the Humphrey's uses little fuel. If you're thinking about hot and fast, I have run mine at 300 to 350 a time or two, but I prefer to settle in at 275.
