Charcoal smokers come in many shapes and sizes. The three most common types are offset smokers, kettle smokers, and drum smokers. Each type of smoker has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to choose the right one for your needs.

Offset smokers are the most popular type of charcoal smoker. They're great for smoking large cuts of meat, such as brisket or pork shoulder. However, offset smokers can be difficult to control. It's important to keep an eye on the temperature, as too much heat can cause the meat to dry out.

Kettle smokers are a good choice for smoking smaller cuts of meat, such as chicken or fish. They're easier to control than offset smokers, but they don't allow you to smoke large cuts of meat.

Drum smokers are the largest type of charcoal smoker. They're great for smoking large amounts of meat at once. However, drum smokers can be difficult to control. It's important to keep an eye on the temperature, as too much heat can cause the meat to dry out.
