This unit is both visually and functionally savvy! Our original rooftop design creates a larger interior height, allowing you to hang larger ham, more sausage and bigger bologna for smoking. The top of the meat smoker is then removable to make both the loading and unloading of meat, as well as the cleaning process, easier than with models which load only from the front. With a capacity for 10 shelves and an extra bracket for hanging meat, the The Sausage Maker Country Smoker helps you smoke more fresh meat at a time. Once the smoking is finished, we also allowed for a larger space underneath the smoker for easier cleaning.
