Franklin Barbecue Pit

Aaron Franklin knows a thing or two about barbecue. In the past, he's shared his shared knowledge in books and classes. Now he's sharing the smoker itself. Handmade in Austin, TX, Franklin Barbecue Pits are professional-grade smokers for serious enthusiasts. They weigh in at 600 pounds, measure 80" long and 81" tall, from the ground to the top of the removable smokestack. There's enough room in the 42" cook chamber for three briskets, as well as a double-walled firebox, a single cooking grate, a water pan shelf, and a brushed stainless steel handle. The entire thing is built using 1/4" and 5/16" American-made steel, sits on 5" rolling casters, and has been engineered for maximum airflow and convection, so the food that comes out is evenly-cooked and delicious. Available in natural steel or with a high-temperature powder coat finish, they're currently on a waitlist — so best get in line now.
