Know before you buy
With 556 square inches of total cooking space across the main grill and upper shelf, this pit is well-suited for family gatherings or hosting a small group of friends. It provides enough room to handle multiple racks of ribs or a large brisket alongside side dishes.
While the 12-gauge steel is exceptionally durable and retains heat well, it is a raw metal that requires proper seasoning and regular oiling to prevent rust. Keeping the pit covered when not in use will significantly extend its lifespan.
The pit comes with pre-drilled holes specifically for a temperature gauge, but the gauge itself is not included. It also features an EZ port, which allows you to easily insert external meat probes to monitor your cook without lifting the lid.
Cleaning is straightforward thanks to the integrated ash tray and slide-out grill grates. You can simply pull the tray out to dispose of debris once the coals have fully cooled.
Yes, the unit is equipped with casters that allow for relocation on flat, solid surfaces. Although it weighs 140 pounds, the wheels make it manageable to position exactly where you need it.
These premium components are designed to resist corrosion and seizing, which are common issues with standard steel hardware exposed to high heat and outdoor elements. They ensure that the lid and smoke stack remain functional and easy to adjust over many years of use.
