Anybody know anything about Primitive Pits? I keep seeing them on social media but I never hear anybody bring them up here.

2k for a propane tank smoker, that only holds 4 briskets? I could not do that.

My Dad Haden aluminum PK when I was a kid about 65 years ago. I don't guess it was primative but it was a long time ago. It really grilled a good burger. I think I read somewhere recently that someone is making the PK again. I'd like to have one just for. Old times sake.

"Franklin Style" I guess you have to be "Rich" to afford one of these "Franklin Style" smokers at over 2k.

The "Babe" is under 2k, the Bubba is close to 4k, I can't imagine how much the "Bull" cost. You need to call for price. I wonder if "Franklin" would answer?

I like mill scale and moberg better

Yeah, and you don't even get a paint job out of it. Lame.

FashionBiff · 11-15-2018, 07:44 AM

My take, no paint and not even a stinking shelf. Run, run long run fast run hard but run. Now this is just my opinion there is company out here I believe selling unpainted smokers too. I guess if your into rat rods this works for you. Again just my opinion.

it seems like unpainted pits are gaining popularity in recent years. You see more and more of them since Franklin became so popular.

Well, you know the lack of paint, on his cooker, is what makes his food good. IMO, this is nothing more, than someone trying to cash in on Franklin's popularity. If most people seen those cookers on CL for those prices, they would laugh. Not saying they aren't any good, but the prices are absurd, for what you are getting.

Just using the name "Franklin" for one of their cookers kinda sets of the "shady chit" alarm bells for me.
