General Information
This PR series backyard BBQ smoker is one of Meadow Creek’s most versatile cookers. It was made for homeowners who want a heavy duty charcoal grill for direct heat cooking that also does an excellent job of indirect “low and slow” cooking. It’s the perfect size for serving family and friends.
This backyard smoker cooks a large variety of meats and lets you barbecue the way you want to. It’s a charcoal grill with direct heat, a smoker with low temperature, and a pig roaster all in one! Similar to the Sq36 BBQ Smoker, the PR36 eliminates the offset firebox and adds a drip pan under the cooking grate. Add water or apple juice to the pan and it becomes a water smoker. If you need more space, add a second tier grate to nearly double your cooking area. The optional charcoal pullout lets you stoke the fire and add more fuel without opening the smoker lid.
Cook Pretty Much Anything with Meadow Creek Pig Roasters
Meadow Creek Pig Roasters make it easy to cook everything from whole hogs to brisket, ribs, chickens, and more. Add the optional grill pan, and you can sear burgers, steaks, or vegetables—turning your roaster into a true all-purpose barbecue machine.
Smart Airflow, Perfect Results
The secret to Meadow Creek Pig Roasters’ legendary performance is the airflow system. A drip pan separates the fire from the food, creating indirect heat that circulates evenly throughout the cooker. Vents in the bottom and lid give you precise temperature control, while the drip pan channels grease outside for easy cleanup. The result? Consistent heat, juicy meat, and stress-free cooking every time.
