The Oyler Pit

Same legendary Oyler results but with electrical energy added to assist the wood

We pioneered the gas/wood combination pit in the 1970's, but we discontinued it after only two years because we found that the barbecue produced in pits using gas to assist the wood was inferior to all wood fired pits. The "gas" taste was very evident in the finished product. Gas contains smelly sulfur chemicals called mercaptans* to make it noticeable when there is a leak. This adversely affects the taste of barbecue. That is why barbecue from all wood fired pits is always better than product from our competitors' gas/wood ovens. In these ovens, the products of the gas burner combustion, including the odorous components pass through the cooking chamber and come in direct contact with the meat. They will tell you that the gas is just there to ignite the wood, but don't fall for that line...the gas burners in these ovens fire every time the temperature drops, tainting the meat with each firing.

We have now developed a safe and clean way to assist the wood fire. We use safe and clean electrical elements. There is no flavor tainting with our electrical elements. There is no explosion hazard, either. What you do have is a way to dramatically reduce wood usage while preserving the character of what barbecue purists everywhere credit as being the best pit in the world...the Oyler. If you cook barbecue, please do it right, don't gas it!!
