Hey PPP, what's the small lift up on the far end of your rig? Do you have more pics of it?

Can someone explain the charcoal basket?

It is used to hold the charcoal away from the sides of the firebox allowing better air flow, also it allows you to add more charcoal and keep it contained so it burns more evenly making more efficient use of the charcoal. It is also excellent set up to use in the offset combined with the Minion method to provide longer burn times.
Minion method is where you add a good amount of unlit charcoal to the firebox and top it with some lit coals allowing them to ingite the unlit charcoal gradually. The method is primarily used with the WSM but works great with offset cookers as well.
Hope that helps ya some. _________________ Chargriller Akorn

You can also put charcoal in it and cook steaks or burger on it as well. It’s a really cool smoker I got it in Texas and drove it back to Cali, I won it on ebay. Here are some more pic’s of it.

Mrcustomsteel, It's an air cooled gun, The barrel is larger because it is a Flex head. You can bend it up to 180 degrees to get in tight spots. In the shop I use a Miller XMT 300 amp Inverter power source and in the field it is hooked to a Miller Trailblazer 302. We do a lot of custom work for the "people who have more money than taste" here in S.Fla.
They pay for the bells and whistles. |

Oz, I see now. I started counting hoses and assumed it was water cooled. That's nice stuff. Those are the best kind of customers to have.
PPP thanks for the extra pics. That little grill over the fire is is great. _________________ D. Tillery

This is my rig, I have had it since July of last year. Its a Lyfe Tyme trailer pit, 24" main and vertical chambers. I'm looking at adding some "aftermarket" shelves in the main chamber as soon as I can find someone who can do it for me. All in all its a sweet rig and I love it.

| tonyg, that rig is AWESOME! Those rivets are so freaking cool, looks like something out of the 1920's. I'm guessing a boiler of some sort? |

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "rig", but it works for me. I can fit 12 racks o' ribs if I need to.

Here are pictures of my pits. In the first 2 pictures are my Big Jim Lazy Q. I've cooked offset, direct, using lump, wood, charcaol and with propane, ranging from steaks and pizza, brisket and butt, to whole hog and poultry. This design has been perfect for my needs. The largest catering job was 500 lbs of brisket. The brisket took me 3 days of solid cooking and the profit paid for the pit twice.
Here's a picture of my first pit. The guy and gal are "Guarding the Pitmaster"
I have also had a Smoke n Pit Pro that I modified and sold.
I also have a WSM _________________ Bruce
