Barrel House Cooker Review

Share on:
Barrel House Cooker

Barrel House Cooker makes an 18 inch diameter UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) that very closely resembles Pit Barrel Cooker, a company we admire very much. Indeed, Pit Barrel took legal action against Barrel House.

The lawsuit was resolved on May 25, 2018 with the entry of a joint stipulation to dismiss the case. As a part of the settlement, Barrel House Cooker, LLC and its parent company M.D. Manufacturing, Inc. of Bakersfield, California agreed to make a financial payment and then future royalty payments under a licensing agreement. Subsequently, as part of debt forgiveness, the Glanville family (owners of Pit Barrel Cooker) agreed to take possession of Barrel House. The Glanvilles believe they can develop the Barrel House brand as a compliment to Pit Barrel, while keeping both labels separate and distinct.

3) Tell us everything we need to know to help such as the type of cooker and thermometer. Dial thermometers are often off by as much as 50°F so if you are not using a good digital thermometer we probably can’t help you with time and temp questions. Please read this article about thermometers.
