One of our readers sent us the following pictures of a BBQ Smoker in Texas that their customer created from the ground up that looks like a pistol. It is modeled after the Colt Single Action Army pistol in a 4-3/4 barrel and is built to scale. The firebox is in the handle of the pistol with insulation all the way up into the cooking area in the cylinder so the paint won’t get too hot on the rest of the gun.
The builder really went into detail on this cooker and it shows! This is not a cooker you can find anywhere and he only built one. It is for sale if anyone is interested.
What a great smoker! Great food and a great conversation piece all at the same time!
Driving through most states you would have to have this bad boy in a holster 
Check out the pictures and let us know what you think!

nice job john!!! you are a true artist!!!!
John you did a good job building this pit. It looks great!!!:) Larry & I were both Impressed. Keep up the good work.
John the smoker looks great. You have always had great artistist ability.
John- This is some of the finest craftmanship I think I have ever seen! I am going to make a special trip, just to see this thing in person. Keep up the quality work!!!!
A truly impressive piece of work, John! This would make anyone stop and take notice, even if there
weren’t delicious aromas wafting from the smoker. Just curious as to whether any smoke seeps
out the end of the pistol barrel…lol. It makes my little backyard grille project look like what it is…a piece
of junk. Very nice, indeed. Have you considered entering the International Barbeque Contest in
Memphis, Tennessee? It’s held every May about mid-month, and I’d just bet a cooking team in their
cowboy or gunslinger outfits manning the smoker would snag you top honors. Might call yourselves
“The Posse” or “The Boot Hill Gang” or some such. Great piece of work, sir. Excellent. No wonder
you took the prize at the Electra Goat Days celebration!
Really an amazing piece of work, John. I especially like the treatment of the pistol block. Can’t think how you got that effect, but it’s really handsome. I even noticed the “bullets” in the chamber. Nice.
Not surprising that this is a winner. Have you considered showing it at the International Barbeque
Festival mid-month during Memphis in May? Big money prizes there. Your cooking team could all be
in cowboy outfits and call themselves “The Possee” or the “Boot Hill Gang” or some such. I think you’d have a shot at top honors for sure.
I always knew you were the best. Now everbody that sees this will know I wasn’t lying.
WOW!!!
Great detail, John! Shows how truely talented you are.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing!

Awesome John!!!!!! What a professional journeyman. Definately one of a kind!!!!!!!!!!
Looks great, John! Details everywhere!
This is the most creative smoker I have ever seen! You know you could make a small fortune if you decided to sell them! Very unique! When Greg showed this to me, I could not believe someone could be so talented!!!!!!
John that is a work of art ! That has to be the best barbeque pit ever seen.
Very sweet BB-Q pit, My dad and my brother and brother and law would love that pit. We are TEXAS people.
I’m very impressed! Very neat idea John!
John,
Just showed the gun to my grandson Josh. We both think it’s awesome ! I couldn’t be prouder. Can’t wait to show the rest of the family. Keep in touch and remember I love you.
WOW! What a piece of artistic craftsmanship!
Hey, I really like this. I have a small saloon in northern Wi and would be interested in buying this. Much nicer than what I am using now! Let me know what your asking. Thanx
Great work, impressed me.
John,
Looks great. Hope to see you on the next ASME joint review.
Luis

This too is, “Hotter than Hell”.

All I can say is WOW!!!
Wow. Do you need a CHL to use this smoker? Excellent work!
I’ve seen it in person. Impressive piece of “functional” art. Great job, John!
