    24x42 Pits by JJ offset smokers

    Bought summer of 19. It’s 1/4 inch steel on smoke chamber and 1/2 inch on the firebox. It’s a freaking tank. I’ve used it 12-15 times and it’s just too much work for me. It holds good temps, but like I said I want more of a set it and forget it. It’s very well made and doesn’t have any leaky...

    Fire box care?

    Getting my first offset here in a few weeks. I upgraded to the 1/2 inch fire box.

    Need help picking new smoker!

    I've been doing a lot of research online, and stumbled across this forum. So let me ask you, WSM or the Big Steel Keg. I've seen a lot of reviews on the WSM and everyone seems to love it. I know the BSK is a new and improved version of the Bubba Keg, so there aren't many reviews of it. Most of...
