Yeah, you may be right. Their "The Whole Hog" model looks like a newer version but in stainless.
Anyone here have this version (in the picture) of Backwoods to confirm?

I sent a message to Backwoods support to see if it is one of theirs.
Anyone else want to take a guess at who makes this smoker?

Take a breath!
Could that be an old Meadow Creek?

I heard back from Backwoods and they note that it's NOT one of theirs....

Is it your smoker? I see it's on a trailer which is awkward considering you would need to add fuel from the front and sides with the doors open. Platform in front suggest this anyway.

Yes, I just picked it up a couple of days ago. I need to do some clean-up and some repairs to it but, in general, it's good to go.
It's been sitting for a while.
You are correct about feeding it fuel. The doors are at an awkward spot for that. The goal for me is to eventually move it to the back of a catering trailer. At that point, I can put it on a stand and have it a bit higher, although, not too much because it actually is pretty high now.
Nice score!
Any photos of the inside, and does it run on briquettes/lump?
You may be able to cook for many hours without reloading coals or lump?
Good luck with your smoker, I can’t help you identify the maker.

I just fired it up for the first time an hour ago. I'll be doing B&B Hickory lump to start and switch to straight pecan once to temp. At least, that's the plan. I need to refurbish a couple of items (door gaskets, rust spots, and PID replacement) before I can answer those questions though.
The guy who owned it last did whole hog competition smoking on it but I don't have any information that I can reach out to and get him for information.
It truly does look like an older Backwoods "Whole Hog" model cooker but they said it's not one of theirs.
