Meadow Creek SQ36 Offset Smoker origin and capacity
Meadow Creek's equipment is hand-built at the company's facility in New Holland, Pennsylvania, in Lancaster County, and the SQ36 comes off the same line as the rest of their smokers. Meadow Creek was founded in 1980 and has been building equipment for more than forty years, which shows in details like the sliding ash pan and the calibratable thermometer mounted on the smoker door. The SQ36's T304 stainless steel cooking grate holds five to six pork butts, or a pair of whole briskets fits just as well, and bolting on the optional 2nd Tier Grate roughly doubles that capacity, so a backyard cook can go from a single Sunday brisket to a full spread for a block party without buying a second smoker. Underneath the paint, the SQ36's steel shell is 13-gauge and welded, paired with a 1/4 inch plate firebox, built to hold heat through a long, slow cook rather than fight it.
One firebox.
A whole Sunday cook.
