Texas Original Pits

Texas Original Pits

Texas Original Pits founder, Anthony Saragusa, spent most of his manufacturing career in Houston, TX building steel reels for coiling and spooling wire, cable, and hydraulic tubing used in energy exploration throughout the world. In 2007, the steel reels and spool business began slowing with the downturn in the global economy. Saragusa saw the writing on the wall, but was determined not to lay off his crew and close shop. “We knew we could build anything with our experience, attitude, and the solid equipment our shop had.” Saragusa states.

His passion for Texas BBQ was the answer. Saragusa and company changed the sign on the door and promptly switched gears from servicing oil fields to backyards and beyond. Embracing the mantra of Keep It Simple Stupid, they tend to disregard flash and focus on creating classic, solid cookers at decent price points. Although their unique Hog Roaster that combines a Chinese Box with a Santa Maria Grill and Rotisserie may be an exception to this rule. They offer a variety of classic offset smokers – horizontal and vertical, grills, fire pits and their Swiss Army Knife Hog Roaster.

Texas Original Pits uses only new 1/4″ pipe, precision made with computer controlled plasma cutters.

They are distributed regionally in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Flat rate shipping is available throughout the continental USA.
