Pitmaker 48” Grill-Meister! BBQ Grills are residential versions of Pitmaker’s large capacity competition cabinet smokers with a firebox on the bottom and cooking chamber with shelves on top. They are made with 12 gauge virgin steel and have double walled sides and lower bodies for heat retention and even temperature control. Backyard models are mounted on wheels, but may be ordered on a trailer, or as stainless steel built-ins for installation. The large cook box accommodates two slide out grates with plenty of headroom for whole chickens and big butts. Both models have adjustable height fire baskets that may be raised or lowered via a lever outside the firebox that slides into grooves at six positions for a 12 inch vertical range. Adjustable height is particularly desirable on these big cabinet cookers that might, otherwise, lack searing capability. With fire cranked up right under the bottom grate, you should be able to sizzle steaks and burgers effectively or drop it down to go low and slow.

Grill-Meisters feature sliding dampers that run across the bottom with a slide out ash tray right beneath.

Sales are direct.
