Our Team
Meet Oscar
The fire box and the warming box were custom made and attached by Doug Wilson at Metalwerx, located in Nicholasville, KY. Doug also put all of the details on Oscar.
We have wanted a smoker like this for a while and after seeing a lot of different pits we decided we would make our own and customize it to our needs and the way we do things. That explains the large warming box above the fire box. We designed it to hold up to 12 large catering pans and this is what we use as our warming cabinet.
Oscar can feed up to 400 people and never miss a beat. We also have a manual rotisserie cooker on the trailer with Oscar.
All of our cookers are fueled with hickory and pecan. A mix of lump coal and seasoned wood.
