Workhorse Pits 1969 economy delivery

I'm curious on this too. I have flagstone in the backyard and I'm not entirely confident the steel casters on the 69 will work.... at all....

Perhaps swap them out with something larger?

I have a Workhorse Pits 1969 on order and selected the economy delivery. It saves about $200 over the regular delivery and supposedly there is no pallet or wrapping. Has anyone used that option, and how did the delivery go? I'm assuming that one can just roll the pit into the driveway?

Also, the wheels are fairly small on the 1969. Does anyone try to roll it around in their yard? Is it doable on a dry day or does the pit sink into the ground?

I'm new here and just trying to navigate around. Thanks for any responses!

Nice looking ribs!!

Have you been able to check he evenness of the temps in the cooking chamber?

Wow. Nice snowfall. It's about 65 degrees this morning in Mississippi. Just saying.

Yea that was before 7 more inches this past Sunday. Fun times. The temps are pretty even across the grates (+/- 5-10 degrees) once you have a good coal bed going. They will fluctuate a bit with each log but settle back down nicely. It is hotter right near the smoke stack though, the underside of my wings on that end got pretty charred compared to my wings in the middle of the cooker. Top rack will run about 25 degrees hotter than main rack, but I don't know if you went for that option. I haven't cooked anything up there yet. As far as the grease drain, yes it is threaded on the inside. There is a plug that you screw in/out depending on your need.

2 sheets of plywood will work wonders. U less of course you will be wheeling it out there for each cook? If so, I’d get some aftermarket Offroad tires or better yet get the wagon option if one was going to be moving it over uneven ground on a regular basis

That sounds like the way Shirley Fabrication ships their cookers. I had mine shipped that way with no issues.

Not quite what I expected, but I’m adding that to my 1975 order (assuming it’s available in the next couple of weeks). I don’t plan on using a cover so I’d just leave it up all the time

Hope that’s mine.

Ordered my 1969 on 2/2. Was told production would start in May.
