Old Country BBQ Pits Generation 3 Offset Smoker
$3,799
The absolute best backyard offset BBQ smoker in the world—bar none.
Engineered for both newcomers and seasoned pitmasters, the G3 is the ultimate offset smoker. It’s designed to deliver veteran-level results in just a few cooks, while offering experienced pros a platform that takes their craft to the next level.
Its triple-layer construction of steel, insulation, and steel again does what single-wall smokers attempt but can never truly achieve: rock-solid internal stability, precise temperature control, and consistent performance in all weather conditions.
Building a G3 is building a BBQ smoker inside another BBQ smoker, then filling the space in between with insulation. It requires a completely different level of craftsmanship and patience to execute. Today, there are those who can build the G3—and those who wish they could.
Key Features
- Fully Insulated Construction
- Dual-layer steel with industrial-grade insulation for exceptional thermal stability and ease of control—even in extreme weather.
- Oversized Spring-Assisted Lid
- The G3 Smoker’s oversized lid is so substantial that traditional counterweights don’t work—so we engineered a custom spring-loaded assist system that makes it both easy and safe to lift.
- Precision Temperature Control
- Insulated firebox and chamber make managing a consistent temperature easy, allowing you to focus on flavor—not fire control.
- Built for Serious Backyard Use
- Weighing in at 800 lbs, this smoker is rock-solid and built to last. It’s not a toy—it’s a tool.
- Unmatched Value
- No other company has the experience, equipment, and know-how to build a smoker like this—with this type of design, construction, and insulation—at this price.

Why Insulation Matters
Thick steel walls hold heat—but insulation takes it further. It keeps the heat inside the smoker while shielding your cook from external conditions. With the G3, internal temperatures stay rock steady. That means fewer firebox checks, tighter temp control, and better barbecue every time.
