A Message From Tyler Shirley From Shirley Fabrication

Makes total sense. If the idea is to make a standardises model in order to make it faster, you gotta keep it standardized.

Completely understandable.

If anything, this points to a very popular model and a big demand.
From what I have seen, and I am not a stick burner, it appears to be one fine smoker that meets the requirement s of most of the back yard Pit master.

Lots of options totally defeats the reason for a standardized patio model you can get in less that a few years. Most people don't understand the logistics involved when you start adding artwork and 'simple' mods.

Personally, I think they are doing a great thing turning out a good smoker with a 2~3 month backlog and a reasonable price.

How much is the patio? I have a 24x50 with warmer, and I’m thinking of selling, getting a patio and buying a trailer to compete.

Is it cabinet or traditional?

Thanks

Keep your trailer if you plan to be portable...loading a smoker onto another trailer isn’t much fun. My .02 :thumb:

It's a standard cabinet not a straight back. Get a winch to help get it on the trailer. I sold my 24x55 and will probably get the 24x36.

How much is the 24x36 standard? I don’t see it in their website

I think it’s like $1995...? Ish...

1975$$$

Totally understand, but information like this should probably go up on the website considering the transient nature of forum threads. #worthTheWait

To clarify, my 24x50 is a patio. I’m thinking of getting the 24x36 patio and a trailer mounted Shirley. Should have been more clear.

When I contacted Tyler late last year to build me a 24x36, I told him I didn't need it for at least 6 months and could he add a few things I thought might be of use to me. Given that lead time, he was OK with that and mine was built with an additional probe port on the right side of chamber, a temp fan port in the pinwheel on the firebox door and extra rails in the chamber to let me use the two large grates equally spaced. I also got the Stainless shelf.

Delivery date got moved up since Kevin had a load coming to FL and I was OK with accepting an earlier delivery. Tyler completed the pit and I got it in March. After using the pit since then, I now realize that I don't really need any of the "add-ons" and would have been perfectly happy with just the SS Shelf as the only option.

I certainly appreciate the additional work Tyler did for me and I also understand the need to get back to the "Standard" model for the 24x36 to standardize production. If anyone still feels the need to have something different done, they just need to realize that "Custom" only requires two things: Time and $$$.
