A smoker that measures 80 inches and weighs 600 lbs, made of 100% American steel…? That’s pretty impressive, right? 😯
With its 24-inch combustion chamber, the Franklin Pit smoker from Franklin Barbecue Pits is a real “war machine” for long cooking times!
It can hold up to 3 briskets on a single rack, that's not nothing!
What makes it even more unique is its identification plate on which its manufacturing number is located. Thanks to this plate, the most curious will be able to know how many Franklin smokers left the factory before the one they have. 👀
It is "steel" colored because, as I said above, it is made of 100% American steel with a thickness of ¼ inch, which makes it really strong and durable. You will see, it is so "tough" that it will clearly be part of the legacy that you will leave to your children or grandchildren!
When you open its lid, "wow"! 😍 We see a grid in large authentic tiles made of steel and a diffuser on which the heat will strike to spread better. If you put a stainless steel water bowl on the diffuser, you will ensure a good level of humidity in the cooking chamber and a perfect cooking result. Your meat will never be dry and that is sick.
Otherwise, other aspects that we notice are its double-walled combustion chamber and its design thought for a maximum air flow and a good convection (the smoke stack can be removed if necessary), which means that it maintains its heat very well. Something that you will be able to monitor thanks to the thermometer located on the left of the smoker. Why is it not positioned on the lid? The answer is really simple, it is only to avoid distorting the measurement with the cooling of the lid (yes yes, the creator of the Franklin smoker thought of that too! It's hot!).
In short, the Franklin Pit is a large, robust and very efficient smoker that will live up to your expectations and your talents. It is truly a beautiful machine that leads "pitmasters" to surpass themselves!
Happy BBQ gang! 🔥
