Texan here. Lets acknowledge genius when we see it. The four bar linkage for lid on firebox with spring assist. This elevates the cowboy style firebox to the best Ive seen. The introduction of cool air at top of firebox entry door is significant for thermodynamic flow, and a new idea. Using barstock for gratings and the way they are assembled is innovative. Main chamber lid design is front opening so the top of cooking chamber can receive insulation. Front opening lid is counterweighted with what looks like reliable hardware. The firebox fire management looks good with its shape making easy operations and clean out. This is top flight engineering, innovation, and construction. Even here in Austin the insulative properties would be useful during winter.

Thank you very much for your appraisal :) We're currently adding a few other small quality of life mods to the demo unit that will get incorporated into future versions (along with a re-vamped construction utilising as many folded parts as possible).

Great pit, great job! I might be wrong, but the wheels seem parallel in every direction. If that is the case, you might want to consider applying the ackermann steering geometry.
@LeviathanPits7 ай бұрын
Thank you! We did experiment with Ackermann steering geometry in the prototyping phase, however given the additional complexity and knock-on effect it was having to other areas of the design we decided against it given the single digit percentage reduction in tyre drag. Realistically you don't want to be moving a 1.5 ton smoker regularly haha.

The only thing I’d like to see is the firebox lid engineered to double as a flat top griddle. Other than that it’s sick
@LeviathanPits10 ай бұрын
Thanks :) There's an 8mm thick flat top plancha insert that can be slid in to replace the firebox grill grates shown. We wanted to keep the top lid insulated to prevent heat loss, and to double up as some extra temporary storage space. We're actually revising the top lid design very slightly by adding a 30mm tall trim on the firebox side and overlapping trim on the lid (with a thicker integrated stove rope gasket) for a super tight seal and no possibility of water ingress. But the design is highly customisable so if someone did want an exposed flat top we could simply remove the insulation to the underside of the lid and add a small trim to the top.

Sounds great, I was just picturing with the fire underneath heating up that lid I could make some Philly cheese steaks with peppers and onions, toast some rolls. 😋

The shopping on something that big and heavy would probably cost more than the smoker itself. Are you really willing to pay $nearly $30K for a home smoker?

@@jackbauer4186 Not necessarily - we've just managed to get door-to-door shipping options to the US down to around 1/3 of the cost of the smoker (via sea freight). That can be cut almost in half again the customer would be able to collect it from their chosen delivery depot in the US.

Cheers! I should mention that the 12k figure is if you wanted to go further than what was shown here (alloy rims, customised logos, longer cook chamber etc). For shipping to the US via sea freight you're looking at just over £2K (assuming you can collect it from your local freight storage depot).

Well done! I never liked the look of traditional door counter weights. I tried torsion springs similar to yours but was unlucky with getting the spring rate correct. Either too much or not enough assist. Seems like torsion plus cable gravity counterweight might be the way to go.
@LeviathanPits8 ай бұрын
You're not wrong, it's definitely a bit of a balancing act. The cooking chamber door was openable with just the springs but still needed some muscle, but the additional pulley counterweights make it completely effortless.

Seems to been heavily inspired by the Hamrforge beast. Are you planning to make it a reverse flow version?
@LeviathanPits7 ай бұрын
The beast is a great looking pit for sure. I can see the general resemblance, but the rack and pinion airflow vent control mechanism is about the only commonly shared aspect (which is functionally quite different on the Terraton 200). Regarding a reverse flow option, it's not something were too keen on for a few reasons, but mostly surrounding the radiant heat given off by the large baffle plate. With the way we've designed the throat geometry and airflow path on the Terraton 200 you get the best of both worlds: even end-to-end lower grate temperatures, and highly convective top-down airflow (which can be scaled back in velocity as needed).
