Introducing the Firesmiths Hero Smoker & Grill
Proudly made in South Africa
Barrel, or ugly drum cooking as it’s lovingly referred to in the US , has been around for a very long time. In fact braaing and cooking food in a barrel or drum has been around much longer than most fancy braai equipment.
Even right here in South Africa we have seen mielies being smoked and grilled on the roadside or braai enthusiasts creating DIY braais and smokers from old petrol barrels.
These days, barrel or drum cooking has grown even more in popularity with added modern features and functionality than just a bare “drum”. So much so in fact, that it’s now as much a part of a normal US BBQ lover’s cooking arsenal as the kettle grill became when first introduced in 1951. And the reasons behind it is simple.
It's Science
With typical side or horizontal grilling you can get nice grill marks on your steak but not really balance or tenderness. Food is typically exposed to direct heat and cooked on one side with the other side left out in the cold.
This causes uneven cooking and can result in meat becoming dry and therefore not as tender and juicy – not smart!
Let's Get Grilling
With the Firesmith Hero added unique ability to flip the heat diffuser, and in doing so raising the charcoal basket closer to the grill, you get greater direct heat that is perfect for achieving a deliciously brown layer finish that makes a steak so delicious.
Your Firesmith Hero Smoker & Grill comes standard with a horizontal hinged grill grate. This enables you to “collapse” the one half of the grill grate and have the other half of the grate remain flat. Perfect for when you want to hang food such as ribs or chicken, and to still be able to smoke delicate food like fish or veggies horizontally.
Multitask With Ease
Step-up the versality of your Firesmith Hero Smoker & Grill by purchasing the optional Tri-Grate. Consisting of a three-piece modular design you can cook an enormous variety of food such as chicken legs, jalapeño poppers, veggies, prawns, fish and so much more! And yip, you can even collapse one of the Tri-Grate modular sections to hang food along with what you are cooking horizontally!

Cook It Your Way
Spacious
Double Up
Unlike traditional braai’s or kettle units in which you braai your meat or other food over a single, direct heat source, the drum or cylindrical shape of the Firesmiths Hero Smoker & Grill places your food right in the middle of the action – cooking the meat from all sides, all at the same time.
Complementing our unique 360 heat dynamics design is the ability to hang your meat. Yes, you heard right. Hanging your meat vertically allows your food to cook evenly from top to bottom. It will not get burnt, and being securely hooked there is no need to worry that it will fall during your braai! It’s simple science or as we would like to call it – Firesmiths Hero magic doing it’s work, and it looks great too!
