From the oil
fields of Texas comes the most innovative concept in
barbeque pits. Made of 1/4" steel, these units are
guaranteed against burnout for a lifetime of enjoyment.
This style of grill originated when a welder would have an
odd piece of pipe left over from a section of pipeline. You
can imagine the results!
Finally, a man by the name of
Charles Davenport of Uvalde, Texas, took an interest in
making a better pit. After experimenting with smoking,
cooking and southern-style barbecue, he engineered the
proper draft to control both the heat and smoke. This is
one impressive pit! |
A very important part of this design
is indirect cooking. By separating the fire from the meat, grease
fires are eliminated as well as adverse effects on grilling directly
over your heat source.
When attempting to obtain a charcoal
flavor, direct cooking sears the meat surface, preventing the
flavorful smoke from penetrating. Meat just gets charred when done
over direct heat, and some folks think that's the charcoal flavor!
This is true of both gas and charcoal
grills. All our our grills are designed to be used as smokers as
well as grills. That's because all of our units have stack dampers
and a butterfly intake draft for smoke and heat control. If you
choose, you can put charcoal under all the grill surfaces and cook
with direct heat.
So relax. Lie back in your hammock
and let the perfect pit do your work for you. |
