Meet the T-Bird, Cotton Gin Smokers’ innovative hybrid that brings together the best of both worlds—a true grill and smoker in one versatile, powerhouse setup. Designed for cooks who want flexibility without sacrificing performance, the T-Bird gives you the freedom to sear steaks, hang ribs, or smoke low-and-slow with ease.
This impressive unit includes three removable cooking grates for customizable cooking space and a built-in meat-hanging system that opens the door to serious barbecue creativity. Under the hood, the T-Bird features the same proven engineering found in Cotton Gin’s elite drum smokers: a heat shield, baffle plate, and charcoal basket that deliver stable temperatures, efficient fuel use, and consistent results.
With two upright intakes and two exhausts, you get precise airflow control, whether you’re grilling hot and fast or settling in for a long smoke. Practical additions like 3-inch casters for smooth mobility, a device mount for thermometers or accessories, and a front-door access panel to the charcoal basket make this hybrid not only powerful, but incredibly user-friendly.
Whether you're flipping burgers, smoking brisket, or hanging racks of ribs, the T-Bird is a dynamic, all-in-one cooker built to handle it all—proving that convenience, versatility, and craftsmanship can indeed live together in one remarkable drum.
