Gorgeous smoker, works like a dream every time.
Been looking for a compact smoker that actually works and this is it! The vertical design is perfect for my small balcony space. Love this thing!
The ForgeMaster Apex V600 demonstrates superior engineering with its precise temperature regulation system and robust stainless steel construction. Highly recommended for serious barbecue enthusiasts.
Yo this smoker is straight fire! Way better than my old horizontal one. Smoked a whole turkey last week and it was insane.
My husband has been wanting a proper smoker for ages and this one exceeded all our expectations. The vertical design fits perfectly in our small backyard. He's been smoking something every weekend since we got it and everything tastes restaurant-quality. Arrived fast and well packaged too!

Everything You Need to Know
Get answers before you start your first cook
The V600 runs on charcoal as the primary fuel source, with wood chunks added for smoke flavor. This combination provides excellent temperature control and authentic barbecue taste.
With four stainless steel racks, you can easily cook multiple briskets, several racks of ribs, or a combination of different cuts for large family gatherings or meal prep sessions.
The V600 requires some assembly. All necessary hardware and clear instructions are included. Most customers complete setup in 2-3 hours with basic tools.
The insulated cabinet and gasketed door naturally maintain stable temperatures. Use the chimney cap to fine-tune airflow, and the analog thermometer lets you monitor without opening the door.
We offer 30-day returns on all smokers. Items must be in original condition. See our Return Policy page for complete terms and any applicable fees.
