Cooking Styles Are Considered When Designing Custom BBQ Pits

By Stella Gay


Grilling enthusiasts can place high demands on the people that will construct the unit that will be used to cook a wide assortment of meats and vegetables. Those people will have to consider the contour of the landscape, and the area of land that will be used to build such a device. The desired shape might have to be altered when people begin creating the custom BBQ pits that customers will use for years to come.

As the designers imaging skills emerge onto paper, an air of excitement will build among the owners. Each step in the construction process is vital to the final outcome because so many people will benefit from the work. The unit will become the focal point of many family gatherings in the future and some design concepts will venture into creating a smoking pit for smoking and cooking meats underground.

The customization process allows workers to create pieces that are totally unique for each buyer. Certain features of the finished metals used will require specific patterns to be imprinted. Welds will need to be transparent on all joints and metal surfaces that surround the unit from all sides. Many designs that are created for tailgate party enthusiasts will be welded directly to trailers and towed to events.

Creative ideas for the use of levers will emerge in the design phase. Customers have the option of using these levers to raise and lower grills within the unit, or vents are often used to divert the amount of smoke that is kept inside the smoker. Cooking temperatures are simply controlled with the use of special knobs and some areas are added that will warm food.

The finished appearance of the unit will be controlled by the type of metals used in the construction. For units that will be mounted outdoors, the designers will choose to use stainless steel to keep rust from forming on the outside areas. Different styles of trim are often welded on to create a look that is stylish but sturdy enough to last through many years of use. Units can also be used to warm guests during cold weather conditions.

The pit area can be dug deep enough to handle large pieces of wood, while still maintaining slats that can also be raised to hold steel plates capable of holding mounds of charcoal. Alternate fuel sources can also be fitted into the piece, so that the owner can cook with natural gas on any given day. For quick cooking events, the owner could alternate fuel sources and engage electrical switches that are properly placed in the unit for warming side dishes.

Some design modifications will cause delays to occur and delivery dates are missed. Some cooking options that the customer wants to have will require parts that must be special ordered. The finished product will be well worth the wait, especially when the customer gets all the features that they desired.

The time needed to complete each task is calculated to keep costs down and welds are done as each part is finished. The final design is never considered finished until the customer is happy so workers take whatever time is needed to create the special trays, grills, levers and controllers that the unit needs to meet the customers expectations.
