offset without firebox?

i came across these pictures on a pit builders website and thought this cooker was interesting. what are your thoughts on not having the firebox hanging down? without having to buy all the materials for the firebox, this would be a very cost effective way to build a offset. i wonder how well it works?

my question to you, sir, is why you call that cooker an offset?

i guess i just assumed it was that style because it has an exhaust one end and what seems to be a firebox on the other?

If you note the wall inside the pit it kind of is an offset. I would like to see some more pictures of the "firebox".

For sure, a nice looking rig. It just may not lend itself to low and slow cooking tho and it may not be its intended purpose. I can see lots of chicken, sausage, and burgers getting done. Damn good tailgater.

A while back haileyscomet had a local High school build him a cooker. It had an integrated firebox as such. The temps in the upper section were not controllable and stayed at grilling temps always. I remember this build because we talked in length on how to modify it to make it work. I am not sure which way he went with it. I have his post but all pics are gone.
