🔥 Generation 3 (G3) Fully Insulated Offset Smoker

$3,999.00 – Delivered

The absolute best backyard offset BBQ smoker in the world—bar none.

Engineered for both newcomers and seasoned pitmasters, the G3 is the ultimate offset smoker. It’s designed to deliver veteran-level results in just a few cooks, while offering experienced pros a platform that takes their craft to the next level.

Its triple-layer construction of steel, insulation, and steel again does what single-wall smokers attempt but can never truly achieve: rock-solid internal stability, precise temperature control, and consistent performance in all weather conditions.

Building a G3 is like building a BBQ smoker inside another BBQ smoker, then filling the space in between with insulation. It requires a completely different level of craftsmanship and patience to execute. Today, there are those who can build the G3—and those who wish they could.

🔧 Key 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.

🧱 Why Insulation Matters

Thick steel walls hold heat—but insulation takes it further. It keeps the heat inside the smoker while shielding your cook from external conditions. With the G3, internal temperatures stay rock steady. That means fewer firebox checks, tighter temp control, and better barbecue every time.

💬 Real-World Feedback

While the G3 is still new to the market, the feedback has been remarkably consistent: even seasoned users with far more expensive smokers keep choosing it as their go-to. That kind of real-world endorsement says more than any spec sheet.

Review of the G3 Offset Smoker by Old Country BBQ Pits

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.

The offset future

Purchased my G3 first batch through mason Dixon, I'm stuck up north, but Enrique stayed in touch with me prior to my purchase and after, looking forward to bright future with all the new products on the way, also Al lunacy, thank you
