Workhorse Pits 1969 Seasoning

[@bruce12393]

Beautiful Pit!!

[@JJJere]

It's amazing how even the temps are.

[@stonesbbq]

They are very even . The most fluctuation I have seen is around 5-10 degrees between them but most of the time they are almost identical .

[@tylerpeerson]

I just ordered one. Can’t wait.

[@stonesbbq]

I’m sure you will love it 👌

[@illiniwood]

I'd keep the grill grate out of the firebox and only put it in when you're grilling with it. If you store it in the firebox during your cooks it will burn off any protective coating you have on it and will rust between cooks. That is, unless you plan on oiling it down after every cook.

[@stonesbbq]

Hi , thanks for your feedback . That’s what I do . I take out the grates when cooking and replace them once the smoker has cooled down and I have cleaned it out( to be honest I haven’t used the grates in the firebox to cook on yet but I’m sure I will in the future ).

Amazing pit! Congrats!

[@stonesbbq]

Thanks Marco. Early days yet but so far I'm very impressed. I hope to be logging all me cooks on it on here so if you would like to see them please subscribe.

Hi, have you missed not having the upper grate in the cook chamber? I'm going to be ordering a 1969 soon, leaning towards your setup, might not get the cowboy grill also, thanks

[@stonesbbq]

Hi , so far I have been OK and not missed it at all . I also haven’t used the cowboy grate yet but will be trying a reverse sear tomahawk steak on it in the not too distant future.

[@jonkarg2528]

Is the 1969 a 20" or 24" chamber diameter?

[@stonesbbq]

It’s a 20”

[@jonkarg2528]

@Stones BBQ thank you sir!

[@jonkarg2528]

@@stonesbbq, one last question. The chamber length is 42"?

[@stonesbbq]

No problem at all . Yes it is 42”

[@Emf50]

Nice smoker! Great to watch UK postmaster hobbyists in action! Can I ask where you sourced your offset from pls? Thanks

[@stonesbbq]

Thank you . I purchased mine from a company called ‘ The American BBQ Company ‘ .

[@Emf50]

@@stonesbbq Thanks! Will be in touch with them. Did you get any additional options with it? Oh lovely cooks btw!

[@stonesbbq]

@@Emf50 I had the cowboy grill . I know ProSmoke have some Workhorse Pits on order so it would also be worth contacting Oliver at ProSmoke .

[@Emf50]

@@stonesbbq I'm looking at the american bbq website.. prices seem too good to be true of the offset. I'm guessing x2 at least?

[@stonesbbq]

@@Emf50 that was the price they sold the last of their stock at . I was lucky to get mine last year at these prices ! They will definitely be more than that from wherever you get one from now but I will say they are definitely worth it !

[@rupman27isback]

Can some please give me a rough estimate of the width of the1969? Im trying to find a cover on Amazon and i see the length is 76 inches long.. abt 56 inches tall with the stack down.. but nothing on the width. Thank you so much.

[@stonesbbq]

I will take a look later and let you know

[@rupman27isback]

@@stonesbbq yes pls let me know as soon as you can pls. I really appreciate it. My 69 should be arriving anyway now. 😊 Thank you sir.

[@rupman27isback]

@@stonesbbq dont forget about me pls. much appreciated

[@TheMikechvz]

What made you choose that model over the other 2 sizes?

[@stonesbbq]

It was mainly a balance between the size of my cooks and the size to get it into my yard . I am sure all 3 smokers perform flawlessly .

[@rogerjohnson4998]

I’m building my own smoker. Is there anyway you can give me the inside dimensions of the smoke collector and the height of the stack from the base of the smoke collector to the top of the stack and the diameter of the stack please thank you so much Love the smoker, thinking I should have bought one of these instead of trying to build one lol
