5.1.4 BBQ Pits by Klose
From their Web site
BBQ Pits by Klose was founded in 1986 with the principle of maintaining
an integrity of the Old Western trail drive style of cooking in mind. BBQ Pits by Klose is
a purveyor of custom barbecue grills, smokers, cook-off and catering rigs. The sizes range
anywhere between a $69 drum grill to a $400,000 catering rig.
All BBQ Pits by Klose are made by hand, with no machinery involved in
the manufacturing process except a welding machine, in the spirit of the old style iron
foundries. One welder to one pit from the beginning to the finished product. Handmade all
the way.
