With 1,602 sq. in. of cooking area, an 800 lb. build and a spring-assisted lid, it helps newer cooks get consistent results sooner while still meeting the demands of experienced pitmasters.
Best for: Serious backyard cooks, from first-time offset owners to seasoned pitmasters, who want a stable wood- or charcoal-fired pit with 1,602 sq. in. of space.
The Old Country BBQ Pits Generation 3 Offset Smoker (G3) is engineered for pitmasters who want precision, consistency, and professional-level results from a backyard offset BBQ smoker.
Built for both beginners and experienced cooks, the G3 is designed to shorten the learning curve while still meeting the demands of seasoned pitmasters. It delivers steady, repeatable results that help users achieve competition-quality barbecue in fewer cooks.
At the core of the G3 is its advanced triple-layer construction—steel, insulation, and steel—designed to dramatically improve heat retention and temperature stability compared to traditional single-wall offset smokers. This design helps maintain consistent cooking temperatures in a wide range of outdoor conditions.
The result is a high-performance offset BBQ smoker built for serious wood-fired cooking, offering reliable fire control, even heat distribution, and consistent barbecue results every time.
Features
-
Fully Insulated Construction
Dual-layer steel with industrial-grade insulation for exceptional thermal stability and ease of control—even in extreme weather.
-
Oversized Spring-Assisted Lid
The G3 Smoker’s oversized lid is so substantial that traditional counterweights don’t work—so we engineered a custom spring-loaded assist system that makes it both easy and safe to lift.
-
Precision Temperature Control
Insulated firebox and chamber make managing a consistent temperature easy, allowing you to focus on flavor—not fire control.
-
Built for Serious Backyard Use
Weighing in at 800 lbs, this smoker is rock-solid and built to last. It’s not a toy—it’s a tool.
-
Unmatched Value
No other company has the experience, equipment, and know-how to build a smoker like this—with this type of design, construction, and insulation—at this price.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the G3 different from a standard offset smoker?
Both the cook chamber and firebox are insulated: the chamber uses a 3/16" inner shell, 1" of insulation and a 1/8" outer shell, and the firebox has 2" of insulation. That construction improves heat retention and temperature stability compared with single-wall offsets.
What fuel does it use?
The G3 burns wood or charcoal.
How big is the cook chamber?
The chamber measures 48" L x 24" diameter outside (46" L x 22" inside), for 1,602 sq. in. of total cooking area. The firebox is 24" outside diameter, 20" inside diameter and 20" long.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 800 lbs., with a 996 lb. shipping weight. The oversized lid uses a spring-loaded assist instead of a counterweight so it is easier and safer to lift.
Is shipping included and how soon does it ship?
Shipping is free to the contiguous U.S. (lower 48); Alaska and Hawaii are always quoted. Most Old Country smokers ship in 5–10 business days and arrive by freight truck, so inspect it before signing and report any damage within 48 hours.
