The Barbecue Pit Smoker Range from Smith and Wesson

How about a barbecue pit smoker from Smith and Wesson? When pulling together my research about the different BBQ pits on the market I was really interested to learn that Smith and Wesson also manufacture barbecues.

Well they did...... but now they no longer do. To be fair I think most folks recognized that the products were badged Traeger units with nothing particularly distinctive to differentiate them the Traeger so ultimately they have been withdrawn.

Most of the questions that I get asked about these units is for spare parts so the answer is pretty simple, contact Traeger.

For reference purposes for those that still need spares, I'm leaving these product descriptions intact.

The range is relatively small with three good sized models and a small portable suitable for a tailgate party. Considering first of all the in situ models, they are powered by electricity (120Volts), create smoke using smoke pellets and have three heat settings dependent on whether you’re grilling or smoking.

In essence they are the Traeger range so if you're thinking of buying one then it would be worth your while to check out Traeger too.

38 Special Pellet Smoker

Smith & Wesson 38 Special Pellet Smoker

This is the smallest in the range with a BTU / Hr rating of 20,000. The grill size is 371 square inches and the cooking grill is made out of porcelain. Assembly takes 10 minutes.

357 Magnum

Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum

This barbecue pit comes with the same 20,000 BTU / Hr rating as the model above and also the same grill area however there are some significant additions. It has an automatic starter and a front load pellet hopper with a stainless steel lid that doubles as a work surface. To finish it off the chassis is fitted with lockable castors and the unit is supplied ready assembled.

500 Magnum

Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum

This is “the daddy” in that it has the larges grilling area at a super large 1008 square inches and a 65,000 BTU / Hr burner rating. Other than being super big it has essentially the same features as the 357 Magnum.

If bought directly from the manufacturer, each barbecue pit smoker is accompanied with1 twenty pound bag of Hickory Pellets, 1 twenty pound bag of Mesquite Pellets, 1 cookbook and 1 spice sampler.
