Best Pit You have Cooked On ?

[tsimm15]

I love my Lonestar Grillz trailer pit. It's fantastic!

I'm going to say my wsm! It was way cheaper than my backwoods and I don't notice any food quality difference.

Well since starting out as a teenager I've cooked or helped to cook on many pits (all stick burners ranging from COSs to high dollar trailer pits) and I can truthfully say that my LSG vertical offset is BY FAR the best all round pit that I've ever used.
The vertical design makes her very easy to operate because she drafts so well, has consistent temps throughout the cooking area, has great fuel economy and holds a scary amount of food. The best analogy that I can make for what it was like to go from my old pit to my LSG is that it's like going from an old stick shift Volkswagen Beetle to a fully loaded, fully automatic Cadillac with cruise control! LOL!:-D

I like that setup SmokeSignals! I'd like that's with a Humphreys!

We can make that happen! :biggrin1:

My UDS would have to be the easiest smoker to cook on, but my home built offset is what I enjoy using the most ( just really like the interactive part).

SmittyJonz, what is it about Muskrat's design that you think makes it so temp controllable? The features I see that maybe the key are the insulated firebox and half the cooking chamber is enclosed in a metal skin. What's your opinion?

That and the size shape and location of the hole between the firebox and the cook chamber - it's not like the calculator tells you to - he said he research the higher end pits for a while and watched a bunch of the barbecue shows on TV and he would pause it when they open their firebox and their cook chambers and study it...... If I tell y'all anymore I'll have to come and kill you all

Also his firebox size to cook chamber size and exhaust size are all optimal.

I have multiple cookers but go to my Large BGE for slow cooks, my Backwoods Chubby for ribs and my MAK One Star for just about every thing else! They all have their strengths

That's a mighty fine rig there.

PBC has been the easiest to cook on with outstanding results but I gotta say my new LSG now. No more running out of space and you can't beat the smoky flavor that an offset infuses. Others smokers do too but IMO none come close to a stick burner.

I love my Weber OTG.

Yep!!! And this ain't no charcoal grill, it's a REAL BBQ pit which,... it just so happens that you can grill with as well!:wink:

Thats COOL!:wink::thumb:

The easiest and most expensive pit I have cooked on was this one.


Ole Hickory EL. Start a fire and set the temp. Easy.

 

[Wampus]

That looks EXACTLY like a Jambo J-3.
I see a couple of very subtle differences, but man....talk about a copy cat....


Not that I know anything about Muscrat. I'm not saying who was around first and I know that Jambo's aren't patented, but....




Since I started cooking in '09, I've had the pleasure of cooking on a BGE, Big Steel Keg, a Jambo, an Ole Hickory CTO, a Stumps Platinum 6, my custom gravity feed, an ECB, a few different WSM's, my SSUDS, a Traeger 200, Chambers' Fiery Furnace, my Weber Kettles, a Oklahoma Joe Upright Offset and.......I'm probably forgetting one or two.


By far, the Jambo is the finest smoker I've cooked on. Top notch quality, insulated FB, consistency like no other stick burner I've ever cooked on. Plus they just look damn sweet.

The CTO is pretty awesome too. Just set it up, dial it in and let it rock.

This next year, we'll be using a friend's Southern Pride to vend on. THAT will be an experience.

Of course, for cost effectiveness, you can't beat one of these babies:

The beer was actually already in the back of the fridge in the apartment we were staying at, so all I had to do was drink it, and ... Voila, a smoker is born. It's a bit on the small side and the temps are a bit low, but I expect if you made about a hundred of these, you could turn a packer into burnt ends. Of course after drinking a hundred beers, I probably wouldn't care how long they took to cook. :thumb:
