Its 1/4-inch steel construction guarantees a completely stable and flat cooking surface of 1610 square inches.

I have been using a offset smoker for 30 yrs, it was sad to see "that old bucket" (name I gave my old smoker) go, it looked so sad next to the trash cans. Till I got back in the yard and saw what the BBQ Guys put in its place Texas original BBQ Luling loaded. Just now I'm cookin paint, and getting to 200deg and holding between 200-250 deg is so much easier. I am a little upset the BBQ Guys didn't talk me into it yrs ago. Love it so far, if your lookin for a new one yourself, I'd say check out BBQ Guys and Texas Original BBQpits. Good family, good food, N great times!

First the only slight blemish to the whole experience. Was the dust and dirt on the inside. Guys for the price you could have air hose cleaned the dust and dirt out. That being said, I LOVE THIS SMOKER!!! I spent 2 hours and 3 and 1/2 cans of canola spray curing the smoker on Monday the 13th, 2022. I smoked to large racks of rib's on the 17th. SMOKED TO PERFECTION! This smoker is very very efficient. I used less fuel than in a MUCH smaller smoker. The heavy metal build allows for wood to be added, leaving the cooking chamber closed and the offset open to burn off all that bad smoke. Try that in a cheap smoker and it'll take you 40 minutes to get back up to a stable temp! Not in this baby! Held 220 and 215 respectively on both gauges while allowing me to quick burn off the bad smoke! AWESOME! I am a backyard smoker and this was worth every penny!

I have owned for less than one year and fire box is already rusting. I emailed the company and they said it's not covered by the warranty. I would not recommend this product. There are plenty of other options in this price range that won't rust.
Questions & Answers
Hi, Bobby. Outside edge to outside edge the wheels are 25" apart. I was able to get this size over grass into my backyard by rolling over two pieces of thicker plywood: roll on top of one piece, put the next one in front of the wheels, pull the grill forward onto it, and rotate the piece you'd left behind to be in front of the wheels again. It takes a while but if you're worried about it falling off the concrete it's definitely a safer way to go. The two main grates won't slide out of the cooking chamber without lifting them while that upper grate can be pulled directly forwards and out of the pit.
Asked by Bobby | Answered by BobbyHi, Steve. You will need to assemble it in place. The shipping carton is 34 high, 24 wide, 74 deep. Assembled, the front shelves on the Luling will make it too wide for your gate.
Asked by Steve | Answered by SteveHi Richard. This smoker works great with charcoal, it even includes a charcoal grate for the cooking chamber! You can also use it with lump charcoal.
Asked by Richard | Answered by RichardHey Greg! Most offset cooks use split wood! A 10-hour cook requires about 15-18 pieces of wood. You will need 3-4 split logs about 16”-18” long. These logs need to burn for at least an hour to burn down to a bed of hot red coals. After an hour of burning the logs in the fire box, add two additional logs to the firebox and let burn for about 15-20 minutes. Now, your ready to start cooking. You will need to add 1-2 logs per hour during the cook.
Asked by Greg | Answered by GregHi Bob. This smoker comes mostly assembled. All you need to do is place the cooking grates and any other accessories that may have been included.
Asked by Bob | Answered by BobHi Stuart. The fire box is 20" in diameter and 22" wide. There is no baffle between the firebox and the cooking chamber, but this model does come with a heavy duty heat deflector plate that sits next to the firebox in the cooking chamber.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
