The
idea for a "pit" type of cooking device was designed from looking at the
old smokehouses. The meat was hung in a ventilated house and the smoke,
with a small amount of heat, was funneled to the house from some distance
away.
To understand
your pit, there are a few things you should know. The definition of
a Bar-B-Que, is simply meat cooked on a wood fire. However, it is a
little more refined than that. When you cook directly over the coals it
is commonly called charcoal grilling. When you cook using indirect heat
and smoke, the process is considerably slower and the results in a more
tender, tasty meat. This is commonly called Bar-B-Queing. Smoking is
not a process of cooking. It is a process of curing. However, we slow this
process down a little more than Bar-B-Que and call it smoking. It is mainly
used for such things as turkey or hams. Sausage is excellent this way.
One thing that has begun to catch on is smoked salmon. It is very tasty
and is available in larger supermarkets. Keep these principles in mind
when selecting your pit and after you have it, it will help you select
the process to use to cook a particular cut of meat.
From the oil fields of Texas comes the
most innovative concept in barbeque pits. Made of 1/4" steel, these
units are guaranteed against burnout for a lifetime of enjoyment.
This style of grill originated when a welder would have an odd piece of
pipe left over from a section of pipeline. You can imagine the results!
Finally, a man by the name of Charles
Davenport of Uvalde, Texas, took an interest in making a better pit.
After experimenting with smoking, cooking and southern-style barbecue,
he engineered the proper draft to control both the heat and smoke. This
is one impressive pit!
A very important part of this design
is indirect cooking. By separating the fire from the meat,
grease fires are eliminated as well as adverse effects on grilling directly
over your heat source.
When attempting to obtain a charcoal
flavor, direct cooking sears the meat surface, preventing the flavorful
smoke from penetrating. Meat just gets charred when done over direct heat,
and some folks think that's the charcoal flavor!
This is true of both gas and charcoal
grills. All our our grills are designed to be used as smokers as
well as grills. That's because all of our units have stack dampers and
a butterfly intake draft for smoke and heat control. If you choose,
you can put charcoal under all the grill surfaces and cook with direct
heat.
Lyfe Tyme built
their first pit using this design in the late 60's and have watched it
catch on steadily. The reason for its gain in popularity is simple:
It cooks great!
So relax. Lie back in your hammock
and let the perfect pit do your work for you.
There are several
brands on the market and one is probably as good as the other since the
basic principles is the same. There is one thing that varies onsiderably;
that is price. We think we have the best on the market for the price.
You can add all kinds of chrome, stainless steel, wood, ect., but they
don't make it cook any better.
We hope that
you enjoy your LYFE TYME pit, and that you tell all your friends where
you got it.

Tips
On Use/Maintenace of Your Lyfe Tyme Pit
Season
your pit before using it the first time.
Your pit has been painted with an
800° heat resistant paint. Keep in mind it does not take a big fire
to create that temperature. Build a small fire, adding wood that has been
soaked in water. Create all the smoke you can, keeping it going for about
four to five hours. This will season the inside of your pit and "tighten"
the paint.
Cooking for the first time.
Any hard wood is suitable to cook
with; every cook has a preference. Do not use pine, cedar or a wood with
a lot of resin. Lyfe Tyme does not recommend the use of "raw" or green
wood; you simply get too much smoke. We recommend any good brand of briquettes.
They are cleaner, hotter and last longer. They are also far less work.
If you are using coals or briquettes and desire a little more smoke, simply
lay a piece of water soaked wood on top of the coals.
Smoking meat requires temperatures
at or below 225°F, and bar-b-que requires temperatures from 250°F
to 300°F. If you have been using a single chamber pit, chances are
you are baking at a higher temperature than you would in an oven. All of
our grills are designed to be used as smokers as well as grills. That's
because all of our units have a butterfly intake draft and smokestack dampers
for smoke and heat control. If you choose, you can put charcoal under all
the grill surfaces and cook with direct heat. By manipulating your damper,
you will quickly learn how to maintain a constant temperature. Start off
with both dampers open half way. Lyfe Tyme highly recommends the use of
a temperature gauge, it makes all the difference in the world. Most of
our pits are equipped with a 1/2" pipe coupling adapter for a temperature
gauge. The smaller, camper grills are not equipped, but can be on request.
Gauges are available from your dealer.
Your pit is equipped with a drain
on the smokestack end. By keeping your pit slightly slanted in this direction,
it will allow excess juices to drain away from the firebox. Place a receptacle
under the drain to catch the drainage. The flat place on top of the firebox
is a warming plate; it is excellent for heating tortillas, keeping your
sauce warm, etc. The small grill in the firebox is perfect for grilling
steaks, hamburgers or anything you want to cook in a hurry. The 20" and
24" models have an extra rack above the grill. This is excellent for roasting
corn, potatoes or other vegetables while your meat is cooking.
If you have a pit with a smoker (the
vertical pipe on the end) you will find a rack just below the door. This
is for a pan of water. By placing water here the heat draws moisture up
and helps keep the meat moist.
Take care of your pit.
Your Lyfe Tyme pit has been painted
with a 800°F primer and paint to help prevent rust. However, with regular
use, various cooking temperatures and all kinds of weather, there will
be small amounts of rust. This is normal. To remedy this, periodically
brush rusted spots with a wire brush and paint with a high-temp, "BBQ-Black"
spray paint. We also recommend removing the ashes and closing the dampers
when your grill is not in use in order to prevent moisture from accumulating
and causing excessive rust to the inside.

Herb & Spices - You can
add soaked garlic, peppers, onion, lemon All meats Spices pepper, thyme
and other herbs and spices directly To your fire. This usually provides
a lot of smoke And can be a great flavor enhancer when added During the
first thirty minutes of cooking.
