Texas Pit Crafters PM 500S BBQ Pit/Smoker Review

Last Updated On: November 5, 2025
Texas Pit Crafters PM 500 S Charcoal Smoker

The Texas Pit Crafters PM 500S is constructed with top quality 304 stainless steel and heavy gauge carbon steel. You don’t see many shiny stainless steel pits outside of the Texas Pit Crafters catalog. This BBQ beauty has a removable water pan in the main cooking chamber and a removable ash pan in the fire box. The front stainless shelf wraps around the right side to provide extra work surface. There is also an expanded metal shelf underneath for wood and charcoal. The PM 500S has built a built in towel holder, tool hooks 3″ casters and heavy rubber wheels.
