G3 Offset Smoker – My New Favorite Pit
After years of using traditional charcoal grills and Kamado-style cookers, I finally decided to make the jump into the world of offset smoking—and I couldn’t have picked a better entry point than the G3 Fully Insulated Offset Smoker by Old Country BBQ Pits.
Let me start by saying: this smoker is built different. It’s not just a step up—it's in a league of its own. The G3 is fully insulated, with triple-layer construction (steel–insulation–steel), which means it holds heat like a dream and keeps temperatures rock solid, even during unpredictable Texas weather. Whether it’s windy or chilly out, this pit just stays locked in.
As a beginner to offset smoking, I was a little nervous about managing fire and keeping steady temps—but honestly, the G3 made it incredibly easy. From my first pork butt to short ribs and brisket, I’ve been able to achieve consistent results without constantly fighting the firebox. The temperature control is precise and forgiving, which is a rare combo.
What sets the Generation 3 (G3) apart is how it caters to both beginners like me and seasoned pitmasters. It’s engineered to deliver pro-level results in just a few cooks, yet it also gives experienced folks a serious platform to elevate their craft. This isn’t just another smoker—it’s a precision-built tool designed by people who know BBQ inside and out.
You can tell the craftsmanship is next level. The way it’s built—essentially like a smoker inside another smoker—is unlike anything else on the market. It’s thick, heavy, durable, and it looks like something that will be in my backyard for the next 20 years.
In short, if you’re thinking about stepping into the offset game, do yourself a favor and start with the G3. After doing my homework on all the top brands, this was hands-down the best decision I made. Massive respect to Old Country BBQ Pits for building a smoker that’s not only high-performance, but also makes BBQ more fun, more approachable, and a lot more rewarding.
Highly recommended.
