Diamond Plate Grills are made in Ballinger Texas , the BBQ capital of the world. They are made of new 3/16ths plate steel.
Diamond Plate Grills have one of the best designs around. If you have ever tried to cook on a standard smoker, with the firebox at one end and the cooking chamber at the other, you know it is impossible to keep the entire cooking chamber the same temperature. With this smoker, the firebox is mounted at a 45' angle to the cooking chamber. Two 4" diameter pipes duct the smoke and heat upward. You get all the smoke and heat evenly dispersed throughout the cooking chamber. The smoker also has a unique steamer system, which keeps the cooking chamber humidity high. That means your food will stay moist and tender, instead of drying out.
The options with the Diamond Plate Grills allow you to cook with smoke, direct heat (choice of propane or charcoal) or a combination of direct heat and smoke . You can also cook with heat generated by the propane starter if desired. This means you can fire up the grill and cook on propane if you don't have time to start a conventional fire. This increases grill usage and versatility. The 3/16 th walls keep the heat in. These units are unsurpassed at keeping heat evenly distributed. Wood usage is remarkably low and the offset firebox helps keep ashes and unwanted burning materials out of the smoker unit.
With the burner option you can cook or warm sauces, fry fish, or cook anything over the two individually controlled burners.
We''ve had a lot of questions about why Diamond Plate Smokers builds the smokers so wide, instead of long and narrow like all the others on the market. Have you ever pulled a smoker that is 3'-4' wide? It bounces all over the highway and is extremely top heavy. This is a dangerous combination that could easily cause an accident. With Diamond Plate Smokers, you can easily and safely pull the smoker at normal driving speeds. Also, the firebox and cooking chamber on Diamond Plate Smokers are easy to reach. Plus, the tires on Diamond Plate Smokers are not to close to the firebox, thus they are not affected by the heat. The clearance on other designs allow the tires to get too hot and can cause premature failure.
At Diamond Plate Products, the smoker is designed to give the best performance possible, then the trailer is designed around the smoker. Other manufactures design the smokers to fit the trailers that are available on the market. Diamond Plate Products sister company has been manufacturing trailers since 1998, from small single axle utility to triple axle, dual tire industrial trailers. You won't have to worry about your smoker being safe, legal, and reliable when towing.
