Cook Chamber

The Carlisle has a Ø24 in., 85 gallon cook chamber made from 1/4 in. thick steel plate. This is a very big cooker packed into a small footprint, perfect for family cooking and backyard gatherings. The door is cut from new steel and rolled to the contours of the chamber, eliminating any and all smoke leaks. Custom machined hinges from 1/4 in. thick steel will last a lifetime. A knurled 304 stainless steel handle provides excellent grip and adds a unique, rugged look to the pit.

Semi-Insulated Cooktop Firebox

The design of this huge Ø24 in. x 24 in. long firebox is 100% focused on performance. The door and end plate are made from 3/8" thick steel while the dual-wall insulated base (a total of 1/2 in. thick steel) keeps the coal bed red hot throughout all stages of the cook. Like the cook chamber, the firebox uses custom machined hinges and a knurled 304 stainless steel handle.

Every firebox includes a fully welded, 1/4 in. thick cooktop as standard. This doubles as a semi-insulating plate to the top of the firebox, providing over 1/2 in. of total steel thickness in the area of the pit that takes the most heat and abuse over time.

Cooking Grates

Our cooking grates are made from laser cut heavy gauge 304 stainless steel, providing a professional cooking surface that will last a lifetime. Old school style with modern performance.

Water-Cooled Heat Baffle

This heat baffle serves three purposes. First, the baffle shape and position help direct the heat/smoke from the firebox evenly across the cooking grates. Second, the heavy gauge stainless steel water pan provides over one gallon of capacity to add moisture throughout even the longest cooks. Finally, the high surface area of the water pan helps to cool and temper the hottest gases exiting the firebox before they reach the cooking grates, leading to a gentle, even cooking environment.

Smokestack

The 5" diameter smokestack has been sized to optimize the airflow through the pit, creating an efficient, clean burning fire and a uniform temperature profile across the cooking grates. The stack is removable using a an easy bolt-on flange connection. An adjustable damper provides fine control of the airflow and seals the pit when it is not in use.

Frame and log rack

This heavy duty welded square tube frame will last a lifetime. The laser cut log rack is powder coated for added durability. The pit rolls on rugged iron-core locking swivel casters (8 in.) with a total capacity of over 2400 lb.

Temperature gauge

An included Tel-Tru BQ300R thermometer provides accurate, reliable temperature measurements across a wide range of cooking temperatures. The gauge includes a 3 in. glass lens with anti-parallax dial and is calibrated to reflect the temperatures directly at the cooking grate surface.

Finish

All exposed raw steel surfaces are treated with a baked-on, food safe oil finish that protects the pit from corrosion and creates a rugged, timeless aesthetic. The oiled finish will not crack or flake like high heat paint, and can be easily reapplied anytime to restore the pit to its original glory.
