Whiskey Hotel BBQ Pit

At Whiskey Hotel Barbecue, we’re passionate about authentic wood-fired cooking, and we do it on the best pits around. We smoke on two kinds of pits—those we’ve built ourselves and the exceptional pits made by Primitive Pits and their sister company, Workhorse Pits. We’re proud to be the exclusive dealer for Workhorse Pits in the Western Great Lakes region, bringing these high-performance smokers to backyard BBQ enthusiasts and pros alike.​

About Workhorse

​

Wood-fire cooking is the oldest and most authentic way to barbecue, and Workhorse Pits celebrates this tradition with a line of offset smokers that deliver outstanding results. These pits are designed with precision and built to perform, combining the science and craftsmanship honed by Primitive Pits, a global leader in the commercial offset smoker industry, with the needs of backyard cooks and competitors.

Workhorse Pits are engineered for precision, maintaining a consistent temperature within five degrees across the grates. This level of control isn’t just about fabrication—it’s the result of critical engineering, precision metallurgy, and expertly fitted components. Each Workhorse Pit is handcrafted with exceptional attention to detail and built for quality, all at a competitive price point.

The “1975” is the largest capacity offset made by Workhorse Pits, showcasing a 24" diameter and a 3/8" (.375") wall, the thickest in the industry. Known for delivering stellar performance globally, the 1975 can handle four briskets, or eight to ten Boston Butts on the single main cooking grate. Designed for large family gatherings, BBQ competitions, or small commercial catering, the 1975 is the solution to elevate your cooking game.

 

Designed with computational fluid dynamics, you can expect this unit to burn an even plus or minus five degrees across the chamber.  Workhorse Pits offsets have built a reputation of unbeatable performance, ease of use, and excellent results in BBQ.  Featuring the popular RAW linseed oil coating for exterior finish makes the 1975 both stylish, sturdy and easy to maintain.  With features like the original design fold-down smoke stack and Cowboy Grill, the 1975 offers everything you need to take your barbecue to the next level.
