Most versatile pit on the market
Is this it ???
http://www.johnsonsmokers.com/index....d=73&Itemid=86 Hook it to the truck, use it on the porch , use charcoal, sticks, or gas. It also doubles as a grill. May have to go give them a look. What do y'all think of this thing? |

If you use the gas to hold meat after it's cooked and wrapped, I'd say that's a nice cooker. But, please don't cook "BBQ" with gas. Please don't do it.

Looks like a decent pit, of course, you have to see one for real to understand it.

Wouldn't use the gas assist on a regular basis but would be nice to smoke for two hours and then basically use it as an oven for overnight cooks on rare occasions on large briskets.

I saw a cooker similar while in Columbia last weekend. It was a half keg cut in half. Could fit in the square hitch on bah of truck. He said it was originally charcoal but a lot of the tailgate places banned charcoal because people would dump out hot coals, so he converted it to gas. Pretty cool for grilling at tailgate. I love the fact it was home made and customized to fit his needs.

I like it...minus the gas. I wonder how long it could hold temps on one load of fuel. I might make this style my next project as it looks like it would do everything I need/want in a cooker.

Are they saying you can use it while hooked up to the truck. There are so many reasons that's not right

Dunno what I think of it really.
I prefer the ProQ for versatility to be honest and for tailgating not feeding the masses pulled pork but rather steaks, burgers, sausages, roast and the such I gotta go with the rotisserie.

Don't you guys have earthquakes up northeast Texas way - in the Red River Valley?
It might be a bit unstable for earthquake country . . . when it's off the truck, of course. Especially this one: http://www.johnsonsmokers.com/index....d=79&Itemid=96
