Just like most everyone here, a lot of other stuff!
Big tall stack and no damper on the door. In true Franklin style, an offset that intends to keep a flame vs. a smolder in the insulated firebox.
Looks to be a 20 x 42 with a single grate and weighing in at 600 lbs. For a pit that expensive the real estate appears to be a little limited. I am surprised he didn't step up to a 24 to get a bit more grill surface area.
I think the pricing has landed a bit cheaper than their first estimates. Heavy duty pit for sure and with Aaron's personal brand on it, it will likely sell well.

Does that mean just constant babysitting? I’ve never tried a stick burner, but this may be waaaaay to advanced for me. Not to mention pricey for what I get away with.
-
pknj Yes, that's what a stick burner is all about - poking fire and loading wood. They are very love intensive. My theory is that's why you see so many used ones for sale. Folks buy them not understanding the kind of attention, time, and commitment it takes to cook on them. So many grow weary and sell them or store them in the back 40. I have a friend who has one in his shed that hasn't seen a fire in 10 years but he hangs onto it..

Well on Weds I am headed to Mexico then Thursday Jumping on another flight to San Antonio and driving to Austin.
Need to do some banking there and show my biz partner some BBQ places.
Saturday night back to Mexico city for a few days to sort things, then a 9 hr flight back to Argentina.
Looking at the viabillity of fabricating in Mexico and shipping truck loads of pits to the US. Or sending container loads directly from Argentina
Here's a couple of my pits. Let me know what price I could resonably sell them for.
1st one is a 20" reverse flow with 2 racks in 3/16" steel
2nd is a 30" with 3 racks (upper part 3/16" and firebox is 1/4")

I'll give you $75 US dollars, cash, for the first one. You'll cover the shipping, of course....

I'm not trying to solicit business as this site provides much needed relief from work, but if you do have questions in regards to the process of trucking from MX or shipping via ocean from Argentina, feel free to pm me. I own a NVOCC, which handles just that.

Shouldn’t be a problem unless there’s some sort of local ordinance.
My biggest issue with something like that would be keeping it fed... I only know of one place in SoCal to purchase smoking wood (other than the little bags available at DIY stores) and a couple online retailers. And the online places only sell smaller splits. So it would probably end up being a charcoal powered, wood infused smoker...nothing different than what I have now...just bigger.
-
There are no local ordinances in SoCal for residential smokers. Local ordinances follow SCAQMD Rule 445. The only restriction for home owners with a portable smoker is to not use the smoker on designated "No Burn Days" during the winter burning curtailment (Nov. 1 - Feb 28).
