Saw this on Craigslist and thought it might fit someones needs. I'd jump on it if it were mobile.

smart looking bit of kit.

I just submitted an offer...we'll see. My bro could use it... get rid of the old beat-up CG he has.

That seems like a great price for that unit?

Shame that it was never used yet it is all rusted. If I had the cash available right now, I would try to out bid you Rich :whistle:

hellofadeal. good luck rich. ss grates. wow. I think with the price of metal today. the metal on the build would be that much or more.

Looks like I own a Klose...:eek: $800

Sweet. That thing looks pretty solid.

Yep... HD stuff. Here's the model:

Cool beans Rich! Looks a lot like Lee's pit. Gonna take three men and a boy to lift that thing.

Holy chit Rich, that's a helluva deal!! Congrats on the fine purchase!!

Looks like I own a Klose...:eek: $800

Congratulations, Rich!

welcome to the world of stickburning!!!:hail:

Rich, sweet deal Bud. that thing looks bullet proof.

I reckon we could call this a SAAAA-MOKIN DEAL.:lol:

Congrats Rich...:thumb:

sweet deal.:thumb:

Awesome Rich!... Congratulations.

Here she is loaded up on Bro's roll-up. Looks like a sandblasting and painting will need to be done. Ah well... another couple hundies and it's new :{)

Looks like a roll off container truck. Way to git er done! Jus winch that baby up and roll!

My smoker appears to be a cheap knockoff of that pit. I bought it at Academy for $800. Marketed as "Outdoor Gourmet" brand.:noidea:

Some things I really like about the design...

The vertical cabinet is great for sausage and bacon.

I have smoked in the vertical cabinet from 59 degrees to 300f.

You can add wood from the top of the firebox.

After you heat up the smoker, you can burn a large fire with the lid of the firebox open, then close it when the fire burns down to coals, maintaining smoker temp the whole time.

You can grill on top of the firebox

I can get the horizontal chamber up above 500 with a roarin fire, and it works great for pizzas.

Some other notes...
The vertical on mine runs about 60% the temp of the horizontal during normal smoking however this can be altered by inceasing/decreasing airflow or putting a tuning plate( I use a cookie sheet) at a particular spot in the horizontal chamber. With my cookie sheet, I can get the entire smoker pretty close to the same temp.

Tuning plates may be required to keep the horizontal chamber from getting too hot at the firebox end.

Hope this helped! Congrats Rich.:thumb: I think you got a smokin deal!

Wow... Thanks Keith! I assume I have a bit of a learning curve... Klose says the vert will run 100 or so below the horz. which...ehh... I'd LOVE the option of having it all run tight if I could. Will toy with the baffle idea... you da MAN!

Your welcome Rich. Only bad thing is, when you steal the heat from the horizontal and turbo it into the vertical, it will really eat through some sticks.

You gotta love the versatility though:thumb:

Pit is getting dropped off at a sandblasting place. $100. Just ordered $200 worth of primer/Hi-Temp paint. 1200° stuff. She's gonna look new :{)

Go for it Rich, stimulate that economy!:bounce:

I'm jealous! :bounce:

So you'll have about $1,100 into it looking new & they are about $4,000 new?.... That's pretty Sweet! :thumb:

Nice, My upright does run about 75 to 100 degrees below the main which comes in handy.

I'm still jealous, Happy for Rich, but jealous of both Rich's new Lunker & Keith's Lunker as well. I want one, I want one....:Cry:

Any update Rich? Pictures? Mods yet?

Great job Rich. Make her new, by the way you got a name for her yet?...:thumb:

Nice find Rich. That's the ideal pit right there. Keep us updated.

Nice snag there Rich, thats close to the same Klose I have built in on my kitchen... you'll enjoy it, mine holds her heat real well!:thumb:
