My newest toy...

flseminarian · Jul 4, 2020

And, just because I've got a picture, this is my newest outdoor cooking appliance. It's called a Pyro Tower, and it's made by folks in Kansas. I think they're called the Bad Idea Supply Company (what could go wrong?).

It's 1/4 inch steel, weighs a ton, and has proven very useful. It's better than the smoker or the Weber for direct grilling.

Here it's doing wood-fired pizza.

Impressive Toy

That is quite the unique cooker! How well does it do low and slow? Looks like you have a lot of room there too.

Nice.

“Bad Idea Supply Company” sounds like my kinda place. Although plenty of my friends would say I have an adequate supply already.

Room to cook

On the one hand, you can put the coals over to one side and maintain just over 200 pretty easily. Unfortunately, there's not as much cooking surface as it looks. The grate is only about 15" deep, which will barely fit a rack of pork ribs. If you put two on, it gets little close to the coals. I need to experiment with some sort of baffle to keep from overcooking the rack closer to the coals.

Once I get the offset smoker back together, it will be my go-to for low n' slow.

On the other hand, it's the first time I've been able to direct cook chicken breast and not have it dry out. And it's a marvel on chicken thighs.

You get the (figurative) prize for the day for the most unique cooker. I've never seen anything like that but it sure looks versatile. Very cool.

Nice! Where in the great state of Kansas is it made?

That is very interesting! I wish, for the sake of more smoking versatility, the rack was higher up from the fire. It looks fun to grill on or make a pizza! Also a nice contained fire pit.
