770 Square Inches of Smoking Space, Gas Convenience, and Everything You Need to Start Smoking — Right Out of the Box
The Broil King Vertical Gas Smoker brings 770 sq. in. of cabinet smoking capacity, four adjustable stainless steel grids, a 15,000 BTU burner, Sure-Lite ignition, the Roto-Draft damper system, and 16 stainless steel meat hooks to a dedicated propane or natural gas smoker ready for all-day low-and-slow cooks.
Gas smoking has one big advantage over charcoal smoking: you set the temperature, and it stays there. The Broil King Vertical Gas Smoker builds on that with a 15,000 BTU stainless steel burner, Sure-Lite electronic ignition for easy startup, and an adjustable Roto-Draft cast aluminum damper system that gives you real airflow control during a long cook. The result is 770 square inches of stacked smoking space — four adjustable stainless steel grids, 4 cubic feet of interior volume — that can handle ribs, roasts, whole birds, and everything in between, all at the same time. Two rugged steel doors with gasket premium latches keep heat and smoke where they belong. The included multipurpose rib/roast rack, 16 stainless steel meat hooks, water bowl, smoker tray, Accu-Temp thermometer, tool hooks, and bottle opener mean this smoker is genuinely ready to use when it arrives — not just the cabinet.

Ready to Smoke
16 Hooks + Rib/Roast Rack Included
16 stainless steel meat hooks, a multipurpose rib/roast rack, water bowl, smoker tray, Accu-Temp thermometer, tool hooks, and a bottle opener all come included — a complete smoking kit, not just the cabinet.

Cast Aluminum Damper Control

Deep Dive — Vertical Gas Smoker
►
Large-capacity cabinet smoking for backyard versatility
With 770 square inches of total cooking space and four adjustable stainless steel cooking grids, the Broil King Vertical Gas Smoker is designed to handle a broader range of smoking tasks than a smaller portable unit. Its vertical cabinet format makes it a strong option for buyers who want to smoke ribs, roasts, poultry, and other barbecue favorites with more usable rack space and more organized cooking zones.
Gas-fired control with Sure-Lite ignition and Roto-Draft airflow
The Sure-Lite electronic ignition system helps simplify startup, while the adjustable Roto-Draft cast aluminum damper system gives users more control over airflow and smoking conditions. Together, these features make the Vertical Gas Smoker a practical fit for homeowners who want easier smoking management without stepping into a more complex pellet or charcoal workflow.
Rugged steel cabinet design for steadier smoking performance
Two rugged steel doors and a gasket premium latch system help create a more controlled cabinet environment during longer smoking sessions. That more enclosed design supports better heat and smoke retention, helping the Broil King Vertical Gas Smoker feel more substantial for day-to-day backyard smoking use.
A smoker-focused format for dedicated low-and-slow cooking
Unlike a more general-purpose gas grill, this vertical smoker is built specifically for smoking workflows and cabinet-style food management. For buyers building a more complete backyard cooking setup, it offers a dedicated smoking solution with practical rack flexibility and a patio-friendly footprint.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
►
The Vertical Gas Smoker is the right tool for a buyer who wants to smoke regularly but doesn't want to manage charcoal or pellets for six-hour cooks. Gas is the honest choice for smoking convenience: you light it, dial in your temperature, and the smoker holds it. No refueling, no charcoal management, no babysitting the fire. The Roto-Draft damper and Sure-Lite ignition make startup and temperature control more systematic than a charcoal smoker, and the sealed gasket doors mean you're not fighting heat loss on cold or windy days.
The accessories package is genuinely impressive for a smoker in this class. 16 stainless steel meat hooks, a rib/roast rack, water bowl, smoker tray, and thermometer all come included — you can smoke a full load of ribs your first weekend without buying a single additional accessory. The four adjustable stainless steel grids give you real flexibility in how you configure the interior for different cuts.
Be clear about what this isn't: it's a dedicated smoker, not a grill. You won't be searing steaks on it. If you want one unit that can both smoke and grill at high heat, the Broil King Keg 5000 or a gas grill with smoking capability would be a different direction. But if you're serious about smoking and want a dedicated cabinet setup that uses gas rather than charcoal or pellets, this is a strong, well-equipped choice.
- Backyard smokers who want gas convenience without the charcoal or pellet management process
- Buyers who want serious cabinet smoking capacity — 770 sq. in. across four racks for larger cooks
- Anyone who wants a complete smoking kit included from day one without buying separate accessories
- Homeowners who already have a gas grill and want to add a dedicated smoking unit to their backyard setup
- Buyers who want propane or natural gas fuel flexibility in a vertical cabinet smoker format

Frequently Asked Questions
►
Is the Broil King Vertical Gas Smoker a grill or a dedicated smoker?►
The Broil King Vertical Gas Smoker is a dedicated cabinet smoker. It is designed specifically for low-and-slow smoking rather than high-heat direct grilling. If you want one unit that can both smoke and sear at high heat, a gas grill or the Broil King Keg 5000 kamado-style grill would be a better fit. The Vertical Gas Smoker is the right choice for buyers who want a dedicated, purpose-built smoking cabinet.
Does the Broil King Vertical Gas Smoker come in both propane and natural gas?►
Yes. The Vertical Gas Smoker is available in both Liquid Propane (LP, model 923614) and Natural Gas (NG, model 923617). Select your fuel type at checkout.
What is the total smoking capacity?►
The Vertical Gas Smoker has 770 sq. in. of total cooking space across four adjustable stainless steel racks and 4 cubic feet of interior cabinet volume.
What accessories are included with the Vertical Gas Smoker?►
The smoker includes a multipurpose rib/roast rack, 16 stainless steel meat hooks, a stainless steel water bowl, a smoker tray, an Accu-Temp thermometer, 4 tool hooks, and a bottle opener — everything you need to start smoking immediately without purchasing additional accessories.
What does the Roto-Draft damper system do?►
The Roto-Draft cast aluminum damper system controls airflow in and out of the smoking cabinet. By adjusting the damper, you can regulate the amount of air entering the chamber, which affects how the fire burns and how smoke flows through the interior. More airflow raises temperature; restricting airflow lowers it and increases smoke concentration. It's a key tool for managing temperature stability during long cooks.
What is the water bowl used for?►
The stainless steel water bowl is positioned inside the smoker cabinet between the burner and the cooking racks. It adds moisture to the smoking environment, which helps keep meat from drying out during long cooks and creates a more stable internal temperature by absorbing and releasing heat gradually.
Can wood chips be used with the Vertical Gas Smoker?►
Yes. The included smoker tray is designed to hold wood chips or chunks, which smolder over the burner to produce smoke flavor during a cook. Adding wood chips to a gas smoker is standard practice and allows you to customize the smoke flavor profile by choosing different wood varieties.
How does gas smoking compare to charcoal or pellet smoking?►
Gas smoking offers the most hands-off temperature management of the three methods — you set the burner, add wood chips to the smoker tray for flavor, and the smoker holds the temperature without refueling or monitoring charcoal levels. Charcoal smoking delivers more complex smoke flavor but requires more active management. Pellet smokers automate temperature like gas but use wood pellets as the fuel and smoke source simultaneously. Gas is typically the preferred choice for buyers who want consistent, low-effort smoking sessions.
What are the assembled dimensions and weight?►
The assembled dimensions are 28.5" W x 25.5" D x 48.5" H. The smoker weighs 96 lbs.
What warranty does the Vertical Gas Smoker carry?►
The Vertical Gas Smoker is covered by Broil King's limited manufacturer warranty: 5 years on the high-heat-coated cook box and 2 years on remaining parts and paint. Coverage is limited to the original purchaser for defects under normal domestic use. Labor, shipping, service calls, removal, and reinstallation are not covered.
How many racks of ribs can the Vertical Gas Smoker hold?►
Broil King does not publish a maximum rib-rack capacity for this smoker. The owner's manual includes a recipe using four racks of pork ribs and notes that the included multipurpose rib/roast rack can hold ribs upright to maximize cabinet space; actual capacity will vary with rack size and placement.
