    Ahumador virus infects Mexico city.



    I think I must infected them when I was there the other day.

    1600 liters (350 gallons) of smokin love.
    Reverse flow this pit is 41 inches in diameter and can fit 2 whole hogs.
    Will look better once we get it cleaned up and painted.

      Nice. Very nice. ps. You need a taller model๐Ÿ˜Š
      I have seen the smaller units you manufacture with the firebox on the underside of CC is this a new design change on the bigger units you manufacture or just because it's not trailer mounted?
      Is the FB outlet on the opposite side of the door opening?

        Yes it is a standard reverse flow design but I have moved the firebox underneath for the sake of space in restaurants etc. Works much better as 1./ The air has less distance to travel resulting in less friction (more flow). 2./ All the heat emitted at the top of the firebox is not waisted. ( I also add insulation to the inside of the firebox). I will make the reverse plate removable for deep cleanings.

      I think the reverse mounted firebox (with reverse flow) works very well with a 'shorter' smoker, like this.

      But like holehogg says, you're gonna need a taller model, that ain't never gonna work in Scandinavia

      Cool to see, I'll take Ahum-20 over Covid-19 any day

          Looks a bit better now it has a coat of paint on. Had to take pics with the shop door shut as in full quarantine outside. Trying to keep the guys employed and their families fed there at the moment.

                • I cook on a 15-year-old Kamado #9, a huge beast nearly 6 feet tall and with black ceramic tile on the outside. I of course love smoked meats of all kinds, but also like quick cooks like chicken portions, pork tenderloins and fish. Really into cooking of all kinds. Just added an outdoor fire pit that has grilling capability and limited Santa Maria-style grill raising and lowering.

                Outstanding work! So glad the crew could stay on payroll.

                Are you going to sell this or do catering/restaurant cooks with it?

                  Sell it. Only time I cook for other people is BBQ classes or big events.

              The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

              the good one grill
              The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

              Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

              Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
              The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!
