When we are tasked with shipping one of our smokers we take it very seriously. We build a custom pallet to fit the new cooker. It is then strapped to pallet using heavy duty tie down straps. After we ensure the BBQ smoker is secure and without movement we move on to protecting its appearance. We wrap it in brand new thick moving blankets and secure them with multiple layers of shrink wrap. This technique has proven to be effective in protecting the new smoker in transit.
Unfortunately, there are circumstances that we can't protect against. It is IMPERITIVE that you follow the guidelines laid out below.
