Tejas Smokers Barbecue Pit
RELATED CONTENT
The Tejas Smokers Barbecue Pit model 2430 ($1,395; 385 pounds; www.TejasSmokers.com; 713-932-6438) is a full-featured smoker/grill with a footprint that’s much smaller than most. This cooker is one of many that the Houston, Texas-based company produces using heavy steelplate and craftsman-quality welding. Tejas grills and smokers offer some of the best fit and finish in the business, and a limited lifetime warranty to boot.
The 2430 features a 24-inch-diameter by 36-inch-long cooking barrel with an integral water pan/charcoal tray in the bottom that’s fabricated of 3/16-inch steel plate. The firebox, which is located below the cooking barrel, is insulated from it with an inch of air space. When smoking, the approximately 3.5 gallons of water in the tray will keep your food moist and tender; when grilling, the heavy steel tray will safely hold all the charcoal you need. The firebox is designed to accept 18-inch-long logs and has sufficient air control to make it easy to maintain ideal smoking temperatures of 225 to 250 degrees.
