1. Are Vertical Smokers Better?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Vertical models are better than offset models in some ways, like floor space requirements. Similarly, the offset model is better than the vertical smoker when it comes to heat efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. What is the Difference Between a Smoker and an Offset Smoker?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A smoker is a general term that refers to any appliance capable of smoking meat. An offset design describes a smoker whose firebox is hosted ‘off the set’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides bring up good arguments for this offset smoker vs vertical comparison, but the bottom line is that both types of smokers can get the job done. That said, there are notable differences in the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For starters, if you want a deep, smoky flavor embedded in your meat, it requires thick smoke to cook in. That is what you get with an offset model. If you want a smoker that is eco-friendly, affordable and takes up less of your floor space, try the vertical model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
There is no single answer to settle the vertical vs offset smokers debate. The main difference between the two appliances is their orientation. Offset smokers are horizontally inclined while vertical smokers are vertically inclined. This is what leads to most of their variations such as heat distribution, usage of space, and energy consumption.
