Fire Box & Grill



Smoking size

[LostArrow]

A folded offset with firebox behind the smoker chamber.
Firebox is big, will work with wood logs or charcoal.
Think a snake method would work with charcoal, pretty sure could get an overnite non-tended cook.
Fire box doubles as a medium size charcoal grill.
The smoker size is big enough for about 8 -10 butts , or 3 briskets or lots of chickens.
It fairly well built .....but constructed of 1/8 in steel
It the past the Old Country cooker were either 3/8 or 1/4 in steel.
It was $499, not cheap , but not $1500 either.

That one has not made it to the Academy where I work LA.  I like the Old Country smokers, some times the fit on the doors can be off, but since they come fully assembled you can lay your hands of them before you buy them and make sure everything is OK. Very interesting grill.

This is a knock off of the Good One Open Range. These have been made in Burns Kansas since the late '80s and were distributed by Ace of Hearts BBQ. I was a cowboy dealer for them and the Good One line are extremely heavy duty. I am sure this unit is not as HD but it sure looks good in the pictures.....

forgot, the Open Range body is 11 gauge and the lids are 14. Priced around 1200.00   The Open Range also comes with a full length damper to control temps and the minion method works perfect. I used to get a 12 burn out of a load of charcoal. Very set and forget type of cooker when dampered correctly.

Chris Marks would compete with these when The Three Little Pigs competed on a regular basis.

Not a bad price for an offset like that.

Looks good and I agree with Smoke it appears to be a knock off of the Good One.

Just noticed that access to the firebox in from the back and cooking chamber in the front. That would make placement on a deck that has rails complicated.

I agree , don't really know the reasoning behind that?
To smoke you would have to put in middle of my deck??
