The Tepro Indianapolis Heavy Duty Offset BBQ Pit Smoker
It is no surprise this model of BBQ smoker is so popular with pubs and restaurants. Light her up in the garden area and custom flows your way as people are fatally attracted to the gorgeous smells, drawn like human moths to a foodie flame.
It isn’t just about the smoking, though. There’s more. This BBQ smoker also grills like a demon and you can make brilliant casseroles, stews too. Better still the two separate cooking sections mean you can smoke and grill at the same time, ninja-style.
Not only is the Tepro really well made, as tough as a tough thing from a very tough place. It’s also built from top quality materials for a long and tasty life. The exterior is rufty-tufty steel. The grids are real enamelled cast iron, old-school and the best. Everything resists super-high temperatures as dramatic as 600C. Phew.
Cool features make this food smoker a dream to cook on. There are built-in thermometers for at-a-glance intel plus simple controlled ventilation in the smaller cooking chamber via the adjustable lid. The chamber also works as a cookpot when shut, a space-saver as well as an easy route to soups and so on.
There’s even a built-in bottle opener so you don’t have to use your kitchen one, potentially losing the dratted thing in the undergrowth. The last thing you need is to end up crawling around searching for it while your guests expire from a fatal lack of beer.
You might want to move the smoker around, either following the sun or shade, avoiding the wind or to change the layout of your garden entertainment space. No worries. It has two wheels. You just lift and push it like a giant wheelbarrow. The other two legs don’t have wheels so when you put it down, it stays put.
In this case size matters, and this is an enormous machine. Here are the vital statistics. The grill surface is around 97.5 x 44cm, the fire chamber 103.8 x 45.4cm, and the three charcoal grids are about 32.5 x 37cm each. Your four cooking grids come to 24 x 43cm or so and your overall dimensions are 88cm deep, 184cm wide and 153cm high. It really is a whopper. Ultra-easy assembly completes the picture.
Just make sure there’s the right amount of room for it in your garden before you buy. It’ll dwarf a small city patio, leaving your guests clawing their way out into the street to avoid being singed.
The user experience is quite frankly awesome. It’s quick to light and heats up fast. Keen cooks love the ergonomic design, with everything laid out in logical order and easy to reach. You can more or less cook anything on and in it. The smoking function is amazing, letting you create toothsome smoky flavours using different woods or special food smoking pellets, both easily available online.
When the party’s over it isn’t a nightmare to clean thanks to the removable ash collectors. Wipe down the metal when it’s cool, wash the grease off the grills and that’s that. Just like so much in life, look after it well and it’ll look after you.
There you go, the most luxurious BBQ smoker in our world. We hope it brings you joy.
