Mabel is an offset smoker who burns wood in a dedicated firebox, separate from her main cooking chamber. As the fire heats the air, smoke and heat drift gently across the food, infusing it with deep flavor before escaping through her trio of chimneys. This indirect heat setup lets her work her magic slowly and evenly, delivering that signature tender, smoky barbecue we all crave.
Living permanently on a semi-trailer allowing her to travel wide and far she has some impressive stats:
So how did Mabel begin her life before becoming the largest offset smoker in Central and North Queensland?
Mabel made her debut by smashing out 1,200 chicken wings in one cook to over 100 family and friends.
The real game changer, though, was our mate Drew’s backyard brainwave: swapping a hand held shaker spreader for a Ryobi seed spreader to coat 120kg of wings in rub. What once took 15 minutes for 20kg was blitzed in just 3 minutes on the night — a genius hack that turned heads and proved Mabel was built for legend status.
Holly from TSV Eats captured the moment in a video that went viral, hitting 1.9 million views in 2024 and another 1.6 million when it resurfaced in 2025.
Mabel has even been immortalized in a song - Mabel and the Four!
