Pit Brothers, founded in Brisbane Queensland, decided to tackle the home smoker market with a new style of BBQ smoker - one that actually looks great and made for Aussie conditions. The PB1 Offset Smoker is intended for that purpose. It's the kind of smoker that any Aussie back yard cook would be proud to own, operate and show off to mates.

The photo above was taken shortly after the very first shipment of PB1s arrived on Queensland soil and eager hands assembled it in record time! So lets take a look at some of the features that sets this smoker aside from the competition:-

• Constructed from 3mm steel for heat retention and durability
• Dual lid with 5mm glass windows and thermometers - no heat loss from opening the chamber
• Offset firebox/cooking chamber designed for optimised heat generation and controlled smoke flow
• Fold-away work shelf and lockable castors makes it a breeze to work with

 Full specs can be found on our product page for the Pit Brothers Offset Smoker PB1. Don't forget to check out the locally made smoking chips (related product) and marinade rubs by Pit Brothers too.

All summer long we enjoy the outdoors and having friends around for a good Aussie barbeque. What’s even better, is that living in Aussie, our weather is still damn good coming into Autumn. Smoking has become so popular over the last year, and we absolutely love trying new recipes.

Who doesn’t love chicken?  Even better slow cooked in smoker bbqs. This recipe we tried over the weekend was a crowd pleaser for sure.

Smoked Chicked with Fresh Herb Marinade

Ingredients

• 1 cup of Hickory smoking chips
• 6 Tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ cup macadamia oil
• ¼ cup fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
• 4 teaspoons Worcestershire
• 4 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoon salt
• 1 whole raw chicken halved

Step 1

Whisk together both oils, parsley, oregano, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, garlic, and salt. Pour into a zip lock plastic freezer bag and then add both halves of the chicken. Massage around so that the marinade coats the chicken.

Step 2

Pile hot coals on one side of the grill, leaving the other side empty. Let the grill heat, covered with the grill lid. Until the internal temperature reaches 150degrees

Step 3

Remove chicken from the plastic bag. In a barbeque aluminium foil tray, place the chicken skin side up. Pour the content of the bag over the chicken. Sprinkle the hickory chips over the hot coals. Then place the tray with the chicken on the unlit side of the grill.

Step 4

Grill, covered with the grill lid and maintain the internal temperature at 150 degrees for two hours. Serve with a fresh garden salad.
