Are Ole Hickory Pits Suitable for the Common Man?

I'm not sure which OH model y'all are talking about with the 275* limit, but the ones I have used have all had a 350* upper limit. I wish that was a bit higher, but it certainly was not 275*. I had it shut down on me at least once...I would set my temp at 325* for chicken. Somehow it overshot and shut down when it hit 350*. Had I not been paying attention we would have had late chicken that day. For that reason, I wish the upper limit safety was something like 375*.

They cook great...and you can get the smaller versions for home use...they still hold alot of meat.

The Ole Hickory pits listed at Big Poppa smokers show a max temp of 275. If you look at Ole Hickory's site the pits they have are somewhere above 300.
