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.
