I think it looks nicely made, but is overpriced. I would want it with a coat of black paint, and the painted model is $4000? For a smoker that small? Wow. That laser cut door on the end sure adds a lot to the price tag!

[jfmorris]

With a shelf life of 1 year to boot!

But it's branded with HIS name. That means it's just got to make better 'que.

Lost me with the $29.99 for a tiny bottle of touch up paint.

I recall just a week or two ago someone here posted pictures of their Franklin offset, which had just arrived.

Similar style pits (all steel, grate level smoke exit, giant smokestack, etc) can be found at WorkHorsePits.com that look every bit as good as these - or better - but for far less money.

Glad to not have an offset when I gots no wood; then something happens (snow & ice storms) and I think how'd it be nice to have an offset. I hope I NEVER EVER use a gas chainsaw ever again.

Thanks for finding it buddy.

bmcleveland313 has one, looks like a great pit.

I have also seen a couple others on other forums with them, the only complaint I’ve seen is cleaning out the firebox as the door doesn’t go all the way to the bottom.

Just spent about 10 minutes searching for the recent thread where someone posted their pics of this smoker as they bought it. No luck with the search...

[DavidNorcross]

I will keep both lungs. Thanks but no thanks. I am sure there is a market for it though. Like others for that money it would have to be a Lonestar.

[Mr. Bones]

Options is Good.
They's our Friend, in fact...

Speshully when we'uns nosin bout that pricepoint...

[Redwng]

For that money I would rather get the LSG offset, more options wrt cooking on the firebox.
