Pit Rebuild Recommendations

Postby LakeGuy » Mon May 08, 2017 4:31 pm

Good Afternoon,

As a newbie to the site I'm looking for recommendations, I have an older off set stick burner I'm looking to have over hauled... I've searched the internet and have found a few but thought I'd see if there's anyone that has had any experience. I'm between Beaumont and Houston and willing to haul it some distance for the right rebuild of what I have in mind. Thanks for any input.

Your best bet might be a local welding shop, or, barring that, a local manufacturer. The larger ones will likely take longer.

If you want a pitmaker that can do what you want (he did for me), I'd suggest Vasbinder's Texas Style Pits off of Hwy 90 in Richmond. That's quite a hike for you though.

One of our members, K.A.M. lives out in that general direction and may be able to give you more local contacts.

What do you want done to the cooker? Do you have pics?

Hi Kam, I can take some pics and post, I have it here sitting in my shop. Let me get those posted and I'll try and explain what I have in mind.
