What Our Customers Say

I’ve owned my Brazos for 5 years now and it’s still performing like new. The build quality is outstanding and the flavor it produces is unmatched. Worth every penny.

Competition Pitmaster

As a beginner, the Pecos was the perfect entry into offset smoking. Heavy enough to hold heat well but not intimidating. My BBQ game has improved tremendously!
Sarah L.
Backyard Enthusiast

The Vaquero grill has transformed our outdoor cooking. The adjustable grate makes it so versatile, and the construction is rock solid. Old Country makes products that last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before first use, we recommend coating the interior with cooking oil and running your smoker at 250-300°F for 2-3 hours. This creates a protective layer and removes any manufacturing residues. Repeat this process 1-2 times for best results.
The Brazos features thicker 1/4″ steel construction compared to the Pecos’ 3/16″ steel. The Brazos has a larger cooking chamber, better heat retention, and includes more features. The Pecos is our entry-level model that’s more budget-friendly while still delivering excellent performance.
Most of our smokers require minimal assembly upon delivery. The main chambers come fully welded, and you’ll typically just need to attach the legs, side shelves, and chimney. Detailed assembly instructions are included with each unit.
Temperature is controlled through managing your fire size, airflow through the firebox door, and the chimney damper. Smaller, hotter fires with good airflow will provide cleaner smoke compared to large, smoldering fires. We recommend starting with a small fire and gradually building it to your target temperature.
All Old Country Smokers come with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and maintenance. Our smokers are built to last generations with proper care.
Currently, we ship to the continental United States through our dealer network. For international inquiries, please contact us directly to discuss options.
After each use, clean out ashes from the firebox and food debris from the cooking chamber. Periodically check for and remove creosote buildup. Store your smoker in a covered area when not in use or purchase one of our custom-fit covers. Touch up any paint chips promptly to prevent rust.
Yes, you can use charcoal as your heat source, though for traditional offset smoking we recommend using wood splits or chunks for the best flavor. Many pitmasters use a combination of charcoal for consistent heat and wood for flavor.
