The Wichita uses a traditional offset firebox design that burns wood or charcoal to create authentic barbecue flavor. The dual-damper draft control system allows pitmasters to fine tune airflow, balancing heat and clean-burning smoke to achieve that sought-after thin blue smoke.
This design allows cooks to maintain steady temperatures and precise smoke levels throughout long barbecue sessions.
Massive Cooking CapacityWith over 1,600 square inches of cooking surface, the Wichita offers plenty of space for backyard gatherings or large barbecue cooks. The spacious cooking chamber allows pitmasters to cook multiple briskets, racks of ribs, or several pork shoulders at once.
The added second level slide-out shelf increases capacity without crowding the main grate, giving cooks more flexibility when preparing large meals.

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.
