BM18 – Classic Series (Smooth Plate Version)
The BM18 Classic Series delivers the same proven performance, dimensions, and craftsmanship as the original BM18 — now featuring a clean smooth-plate exterior for a more refined and timeless appearance. Built for those who appreciate traditional offset smoking with a sleek handcrafted finish, this model maintains the same airflow design, cooking capability, and structural integrity the BM18 is known for.
Handmade in the USA from heavy-gauge carbon steel, the BM18 combines compact sizing with premium craftsmanship, making it ideal for patios, backyards, and serious live-fire cooking enthusiasts. The smooth plate construction gives the smoker a cleaner, more elegant profile while preserving the rugged durability and heat stability expected from a true offset pit.
