Stumps Smokers: Building more than just a winning smoker

By Kell Phelps

Back in May of this year, I was doing a rather large cooking for a few friends and needed a bigger cooker than I owned. When trying to figure out what to do, my old buddy Stump McDowell just happened to give me a call. During this conversation, I told him of my situation and he offered to let me test one of his bigger Platinum 4 model smokers. I have seen and used Stumps Smokers for years but had not used these bigger models and was curious to see if they really cooked as well as the smaller units.

After my first batch of ribs, I was hooked! The cooker was just as easy to operate as the smaller units and performed just as well, too. It really is pretty much a light it, set it, and forget about it process!

While I was there, I noticed several “rigs” in the parking lot, so I did a little investigating. It turns out Stump has been building these turn-key mobile kitchens for a while now. Needless to say, I was like a kid in a candy store to see these masterpieces of barbecue cookery. The best thing about these “rigs” is each one is custom built to be what you want it to be. Stump told me, “We can do any size, small one with just a pit on it or one that can fit your entire family !”

I guess I was amazed to see just how far my old buddy Stump has come. I remember seeing and cooking on one of his first test models several years  back. It is always good to see one of the good guys heading in the right direction, especially in today’s economy.
 
This is Stump’s personal barbecue wagon that was designed just for his needs (which includes a good bit of competition cooking around the Southeast United States).
