About
Wood fire cooking is not only the oldest method of cooking there is, but it is the key process of outputting the highest quality of barbecue. We celebrate this age old tradition by bringing you three unrivaled, heirloom offset smokers. It doesn't take much research to realize that we have sealed our reputation with an offset that produces exceptional results, performs outstanding and displays impeccable craftsmanship.

At Workhorse Pits, our product designs are guided by science. Workhorse began with science, we trust only science and we never make assumptions without scientific support. We have applied the knowledge and experience gained from our sister company, Primitive Pits, a global leader in the commercial offset industry serving some of the biggest names in BBQ. Workhorse Pits has now become a wildly popular brand for the backyard with over 8,500 smokers shipped and glowing customer reviews, complementing performance, craftsmanship and most of all cost.

How do we do this?
​
Our deep investment into computational fluid dynamics was to guarantee that we deliver an offset to the market that performs outstanding. We understand what needs to happen to produce exceptional BBQ results. Our offsets burn at plus or minus five degrees across the grates and this goes beyond fabrication knowledge. This takes critical engineering, precision metallurgy and exact fitting. At Workhorse Pits, we hand-craft each unit with an immense attention to detail and quality, and for a very competitive price point.
