Customer Reviews
Here’s what our customers are saying about us.
Meet our core
Join our family of grill lovers and be the first to use our
new products and attend special events.
Do you sell fully custom smokers and trailer pits, or only standard stock models?
We offer both. We carry a curated selection of top-tier branded grills and smokers ready to ship, as well as fully customizable offset smokers and trailer pits. Whether you want to select a trusted brand or build a custom rig from the ground up—with specific firebox sizes, rack layouts, or multi-fuel options—we can accommodate your vision.
How long does it take to build and ship a custom smoker or trailer pit?
In-stock branded models typically process and ship within 5 to 8 business days. Custom builds and trailer pits require dedicated fabrication time, which generally ranges from 4 to 8 weeks depending on current shop build times and the complexity of your custom features. We will provide a estimated lead time when you place your order.
How are heavy smokers and trailer pits delivered?
Standard grills and smaller smokers are shipped via standard freight with liftgate delivery to your residential driveway or business. Large offset smokers and trailer pits are shipped via specialized freight or flatbed delivery. You will receive tracking details and a call from the carrier to schedule a delivery appointment.
Do I need a special vehicle or hitch to tow a custom trailer pit?
Most of our trailer pits utilize a standard 2-inch or 2 5/16-inch ball hitch and safety chains, alongside standard trailer wiring for brake lights. Depending on the size and overall weight of the trailer, you may need a light truck or SUV rated for the total towing capacity. Detailed tongue weight and total weight specifications are provided on each trailer product page.
What materials and steel gauges are used in your smoker builds?
Our heavy-duty smokers and custom pits are constructed using thick-gauge American steel—typically ranging from 3/16-inch to 1/4-inch or thicker. Thicker steel ensures superior heat retention, consistent internal temperatures, and lifetime durability, even in extreme weather conditions.
Do your trailer pits come with titles and registration paperwork?
Yes. All custom trailer pits include a Certificate of Origin (MSO) and a unique VIN tag, making it straightforward to register and license your trailer at your local DMV.
Can I request custom paint, logos, or high-temp coatings on my pit?
Absolutely. We offer high-temperature heat-resistant coatings, custom powder coating for accents, and custom metal badging or CNC-cut logos for trailer builds and commercial rigs. Contact our custom build team before placing your order to discuss design details.
What is the difference between an offset smoker and a reverse flow smoker?
A traditional offset smoker draws heat and smoke from the side firebox directly across the cooking chamber and out a chimney at the opposite end. A reverse flow smoker uses a internal baffle plate that forces smoke and heat under the cooking floor to the far end before circulating back over the meat and out a chimney located near the firebox, providing tighter temperature consistency across the cooking grates.
What warranty covers my grill or smoker?
Branded models are covered by their respective manufacturer warranties, which range from 1 year to limited lifetime guarantees depending on the brand. Our custom-fabricated steel smokers and trailer pits carry a structural craft warranty against defects in welds and workmanship. Specific warranty terms are listed on our warranty page.
How do I prepare and season my new steel smoker before the first cook?
Before cooking your first batch of food, you must season the pit. Coat all interior steel surfaces and grates with a high-smoke-point food-grade oil (such as canola or peanut oil) and run a medium heat fire (225°F–275°F) for 3 to 4 hours. This creates a protective, non-stick carbonized coating that cures the steel and prevents rust.
