1000 Gallon

Built for High-Volume Wood-Fired Service

The Primitive Pits 1000 Gallon is built for high-volume barbecue service where one large offset smoker needs to anchor production. It gives experienced teams room to plan large cooks, support demanding service, and build production around one substantial wood-fired pit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the 1000 Gallon designed for?

It is intended for high-volume restaurants, large pit rooms, catering operations, and experienced teams that need major commercial wood-fired capacity.

How long is the wait time for a Primitive Pits smoker build?

We offer two waiting lists. Our “ASAP” list is for customers who want their Primitive Pits offset smoker as quickly as possible, and we make every reasonable effort to meet their timing needs. Our “Non-Rush” list is for customers planning a future restaurant, pit room, catering operation, or other establishment who are not in an immediate hurry.

Can I choose the tank color or patina for my Primitive Pits smoker?

We purchase tanks by the tractor-trailer load based on specifications that help ensure the performance we expect from every Primitive Pits smoker. Tanks are not selected for a specific patina or color, and because of our production volume, it is difficult to choose from individual tanks on the shop lot. You may send us a reference photo, and we will make every reasonable effort to find a tank with a similar appearance. We want your offset smoker’s natural patina and color to fit your brand as closely as possible.

What should I confirm before requesting a build?

Confirm the operating location, access, working clearance, mobility requirements, and production needs before submitting a build request.
