The Story of Old Country BBQ Pits

Founded in 1955 in Laredo, Texas, Old Country BBQ Pits began as a small, family-run welding shop making cattle equipment for ranchers. When the cattle industry declined, the family shifted focus and discovered their true calling: building heavy-duty smokers and grills.

In the early 1980s, as cattle ranching dwindled, the business pivoted toward making outdoor cooking equipment. By 1991, the founder’s son Alejandro joined the business and quickly realized they were exceptionally skilled at crafting smokers.

Today, Old Country BBQ Pits has grown from that modest shop into a high-capacity manufacturing team with over 200 skilled craftsmen, producing rugged smokers, grills, fire pits, and custom pieces — all designed in Texas and built to last.

What Drives Us

- Over 70 years of heritage built on honest welds and strong customer relationships.

- Craftsmanship above all: every unit is made with thick steel, fully welded, and built for longevity.

- True Texas toughness: designed and built in South Texas for serious barbecue cooking.

Why This Matters

By choosing Old Country BBQ Pits, you’re buying more than a smoker — you’re buying a legacy of Texas craftsmanship, durability, and authentic barbecue performance.
