About the Aaron Franklin Barbecue Pit

Introducing the Aaron Franklin Barbecue Pit, a remarkable masterpiece meticulously crafted for authentic barbecue enthusiasts. This robust pit weighs approximately 625 lbs, showcasing its durability and sturdy construction. With dimensions of 81" in length and 81" in height from ground to the top of the smokestack, it commands attention in any outdoor cooking setting.

The 42" cook chamber, made from 1/4" thick rolled American-made steel, ensures excellent heat retention and distribution for that perfect smoky flavor. The inner firebox is also constructed from the same high-quality steel, featuring a double-walled design with an air gap for enhanced insulation.

Though it arrives in a single crate, be prepared to enlist the help of a few hands for maneuvering this substantial pit, even with its casters. Choose a solid, level surface such as a concrete pad or pavers that can safely support its weight.

When you invest in the Aaron Franklin Barbecue Pit, you receive an array of valuable features and accessories. It includes a custom Tel-Tru Thermometer to monitor cooking temperatures accurately. A convenient grease bucket helps with easy cleanup, while a water pan aids in moisture control during cooking. The removable steel cooking grate provides ample space for your culinary creations, and the bolt-on smokestack ensures proper ventilation.

Each pit comes with a unique Pit Badge, featuring a riveted body number on the bottom shelf—a testament to its authenticity and craftsmanship. The inclusion of 5" casters, with two stationary at the firebox end and two swiveling at the smokestack end, offers mobility and stability.

Rest assured, the Aaron Franklin Barbecue Pit is proudly handmade in the USA. Crafted with passion and expertise, every pit possesses its own individual character and charm. Variations in appearance add to the uniqueness of each pit, without compromising its exceptional performance and ability to deliver mouthwatering meals. The welders' skill combined with the natural elements of the steel result in a pit that is truly one-of-a-kind.

As a testament to their commitment to quality, Franklin offers a 3-year warranty on the firebox, cook chamber, and smokestack. You can trust that this pit is built to last and provide you with countless memorable barbecuing experiences.
