New chicken pit

wango · Jul 14, 2013

My son's and I built a pit to cook chicken for my youngest's graduation open house, it's not a smoker yet (but there are plans for additions) but I thought you all would appreciate the build anyway. I hope this is the right forum for it.

New pit

This is after we placed it and leveled it next to our deer camp

Father's day

The pit held approximatel 115 quarters at a time and we cooked about 225 for the open house. For Father's day we added a divider so we could use the pit without all four racks. We did ribs, chicken and some burgers and dogs for the youngsters. We had a great time

Might be deceiving in the pics, its 24" tall. Been cooking on a similiar pit at our county fair for a 4-H fundraiser for many years and that pit is 24" deep, so I built mine the same depth. It cooks chicken in about 2 hours, could push it faster if you wanted, but 2 for quarters, 3 hours for halves.

looking good! I've been thinking about a chicken cooker like this for myself.
