"Best pit I have cooked on to date. Blake went above and beyond on my order and built one hell of a smoker. Will be ordering another soon. Highly recommend. These smokers are a game changer."

"If you like to smoke succulent delicious meats but don't have the best smoker or looking for an upgrade, you need to check out SRDS. They are easy to cook on, very efficient, and give you that authentic BBQ flavor that will drive your guests crazy wanting more. This is all the BBQ Daddies cook on. They're proven in the field and anyone can use them."
