Came across this 3 in 1 Smoker while at Bunnings.
The Jumbuck 3 in 1 Barrel is more than a charcoal BBQ. It also smokes, roasts and steams. Modular designed, easy to assemble and use, it is perfect for any outdoor area.
Powder coated steel bowl and lid
Chrome cooking grills
Adjustable air vents
Enamel coated steel water bowl
Temperature gauge
Should I buy this so I can be more manly?
Yes, then you can tell everyone you got Jumbucked.
Any idea on normal price?
I remember seeing it for $59. But not sure if it's identical
These are ok but due to quality of materials and construction, too much heat escapes and hard to get the temperature to stay around 120+ degrees
Why would you want the temperature to stay around 120+ degrees slow low smoking is the go preferably below 30 degrees Celsius.
120 Fahrenheit, poor design limits the amount of oxygen. I've drilled extra holes in mine to get it up to 150F lol
30 degrees Celsius = 86 degrees Fahrenheit LOL
This is either the best troll or the worst thing.
Lol around 110-130c for low and slow
You need to look up on google a lot is done between 20-30c some even colder. There are even commercial smokers that use ice in there process and also companies that do their smoking in refrigerated containers I am not talking about adding a smoky flavour to your BBQ meat but smoking to preserve and even to reduce size.
@coin saver: Sorry coin saver, you're off the mark here buddy. What you are referring to is known as cold smoking. While you are correct in talking about the temperatures involved, you've missed the mark with the equipment involved. Cold smoking is done in, funnily enough, a cold smoker, at the low temperatures you speak of, and is done to add flavour to foods that you don't want cooked, such as cheese, eggs, and nuts. This cooker here is a hot smoker - it's primary job is to cook 'low and slow' at an ideal temperature of around 120°C, and also traditional hot grilling at around 220°C. Different equipment mate.
As others have said, steer away from this size cooker. It will frustrate you and isn't worth dropping money on. They are too small and lightweight to regulate heat properly.
For what it's worth, I smoke with an electric Masterbuilt smoker - https://www.amazon.com/Masterbuilt-20071117-Digital-Electric…
I also have a Weber BabyQ for bbqing, and a Weber kettle for grilling (I do mostly chicken in the kettle, the very hot, dry, indirect heat crisps the skin nicely).
Yes, cheap but not a good entry into smoking/grilling meats. You'd end up more frustrated with holding temp and producing an acceptable result and probably give it a miss. If you are considering getting into doing some smoking etc I wouldn't recommend something like this, as Chumlee mentioned, the thin metal will lose so much heat you'll struggle to do much with it. Leave it in the weather and you'll come back to a rusted shell.!
how do you like your jumbuck? BLACK.
These are great for next year's hard rubbish collection.
So what’s good instead? Tia
This is good but next size up is my recommendation. Only some Bunnings sell the larger size so not onntyheir website, only in store

Can vouch for this. Was given this as a present. My first cook was a small brisket over 9 hours and came out amazing. Got 2 racks of pork ribs in at the moment.
Only issues so far is the small door if you need to top up the charcoal / heat beads but you can just lift the section off and refill.
The doors also don't seal perfectly but that's pretty easily fixed.
If I get into it a bit more I'll buy a bigger model as the 18" could be limiting for a large brisket.
Saw stock at the (larger) Mt Gravatt Bunnings at the front entry.
That was perhaps 2hrs ago and there were 5
If you aren't sure how dedicated you will be to smoker cooking, it's a cheap way to try, although thin steel, just use when the weather is good, same challenges as a weber kettle, but cheaper and holds more food.
Considering how much takeaway bbq costs, if you've done 2 briskets in this it has paid for itself.
And if you find managing charcoal a pain, but like bbq, then spend the $500 and get a pellet smoker, fornetto pellet smokers.
Plenty of stock from what I can see on the web site. I don't know why you said limited stock.
Just get a weber kettle if you're a beginner. Cant go too wrong with a weber
Right on pharm, and also invest in a chimney starter, hot air gun, and make a poortex - https://www.google.com.au/search?q=poortex
Here's a good video of what it can do

Does anyone else enjoy saying Jumbuck?
