Old Country BBQ Pits G3 Fully Insulated Offset Smoker is built for pitmasters who refuse to compromise on temperature control, fuel efficiency, or cooking capacity. If you have ever battled cold weather, wind, or thin metal pits that lose heat fast, the G3 solves those problems with full-body insulation and heavy steel construction designed to lock in heat and smoke.
This fully insulated offset smoker delivers massive cooking capacity with 1,665 square inches of space across two grates, allowing you to cook multiple briskets, racks of ribs, pork shoulders, and sausage all at once. With serious insulation in both the main chamber and firebox, the G3 maintains steady low-and-slow temperatures while using less wood, making it a powerful tool for backyard cooks, caterers, and competition pitmasters.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
