Texas Pit Crafters PM 500S BI Smoker

This unit is designed to be permanently integrated into a masonry or custom-built outdoor kitchen structure. It does not come with legs or a cart, so you will need a stable, non-combustible cutout that accommodates its 63-inch length and 275-pound weight.

The offset firebox allows you to cook with indirect heat, which is essential for low-and-slow smoking. By keeping the fire separate from the main chamber, you gain better temperature control and the ability to add wood or charcoal without disrupting the cooking environment.

Yes, 304 stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it an excellent choice for permanent outdoor installations. While it is durable, we still recommend using a custom cover when the unit is not in use to keep the exterior clean and free of debris.

The unit features a removable ash pan in the firebox and a heavy-gauge charcoal/water pan in the main chamber. These are designed to slide out easily, allowing you to dispose of spent ash and grease without having to reach into the deep corners of the pit.

The lifetime burnout warranty specifically covers the firebox against structural failure caused by heat. This provides peace of mind that the most high-heat component of your smoker is built to withstand years of heavy use.

Absolutely. While it excels at smoking, you can also use the main chamber for direct grilling by placing charcoal directly beneath the stainless steel grates. The 1,100 square inches of space provides plenty of room to manage both direct and indirect heat zones simultaneously.
