DCMW-100

 I have had several cooks on my new pit and it is awesome! Comes up to temp and maintains heat extremely even across the cook chamber at the upper and lower rack. As you know this is my 16th custom pit over the last 40 years. All of those pits are now in the hands of family and close friends and are still cooking today and range from 94 gal to twin 300 gal trailer mounted competition pits. I competed in bbq cook offs all over Texas for over 30 years before moving to SoCal 4 years ago. When I decided to have a pit built I wanted it built here in  California ,I visited 5 pit builders all with outstanding resumes. When I visited you and saw first hand the work you were doing and the detail and pride you put into each build I knew you were that guy.  I can say without a doubt that the pit you built for me is the finest pit I have ever owned hands down. These days the only judges I cook for are my grandkids but I am so proud every time I fire it up, and one day (hopefully not too soon) it will be theirs!
Job well done!!

The Hot Box stands as the ultimate versatile cooker and workhorse! With each use—and there have been many—I find myself increasingly enamored with it. In the short span of a few months, I've already used it for direct heat ribs, utilized the rotisserie, low and slow brisket, among other things. Brent and the team at Deep Creek Metal Works are truly masters of their craft, showing genuine care in ensuring the best experience and maintaining thoughtful communication from build to delivery. I'm definitely a customer for life.

I can’t even begin too explain how impressed, excited and proud to have purchased this amazing Baja 250 from Deep Creek Metal Works. DCMW created the best product for my business and I can’t wait to share this with my customers. Since this purchase I’ve already reached out to DCMW to purchase one for my home as well. It’s that good! Thank you for all of your hard work and great products.

Amazing experience throughout the whole process from start to finish! From the day I saw this smoker online I knew it was for me! Brent made it super easy through the entire transaction as he answered all my questions and made it exactly how I wanted. He would send me all the updates of when material was ordered and coming in as well as when the build was going on. He would send many pictures of the build which was perfect as I was super excited to see it and interact on how it was being built! This pit is amazing as well as all the food that’s been coming out of it! I’ve made the best ribs on this smoker that I’ve ever made and all my clients love it! Huge shoutout to DCMW family for making this possible, couldn’t be done without them!

Brent was straight with me right from the get go built a heck of a smoker, and the dude can weld dime's all day!  long! Look at that beautiful turkey on THANKSGIVING DAY!! Thanks Brent I'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment with this beautiful smoker you built me.

The Deep Creek Metalworks Hot Box has blown me away in the 7 months I’ve had it. The cooking space of 26x19 allows me to cook up to 10lbs of chicken thighs in one cook. I can easily fit 4 slabs of ribs as well. In regards to cooking the hot box is fantastic. The direct heat flavor is incredible from the fat smoke that drips onto the coals and permeates through the meat. I’ve also been extremely happy with the efficiency and temp retention. With 1/2 - 3/4 of a chimney of lump charcoal I can sustain temps between 275-310 without a problem which is a perfect temp for direct heat cooking. Durability wise this cooker is built like a tank but with the installed casters, I have no issue moving it around to wherever I need it. I’m happy to say that the Hot Box was a great purchase and has become a workhorse cooker for me with my catering business  I truly couldn’t be happier with it!

“Working with Deep Creek Metalworks has been a seamless process. I came in with a vision that was translated into cut and welded steel by Brent.  One of the most important aspects to me during a project such as this one was being updated on the progress. Brent over at Deep Creek Metalworks not only kept me in the loop with updates about the progress of the build, but in the evolving design language of the project as well. Having a fabricator who keeps the customer involved in a project (especially a custom one such as this) is not only invaluable to the customer, but is something that is largely absent from the industry. In a sea of inaccessible pit manufacturers, egregiously long lead times, and seemingly never ending inflated build prices, Deep Creek Metalworks is a paradigm for what offset smokers and live fire equipment should be: quality, American-made products that are thoughtful in design, exceptionally functionally, and aesthetically badass. 

Thanks again Deep Creek Metalworks!”

The folks at Deep Creek Metal Works have hit a home run with their New Griddle Slayer. It does everything they said it would do…. Plus more. I’m now making the best pressed grilled cheese sandwiches I’ve ever made. I’ve been able to make pressed Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches also. The Slayer is made in the USA and built like a tank. It’s good to see this kind of quality still exists. The crew at Deep Creek Metalworks have been wonderful to work with. Great customer service and speedy dealer.

Received my Griddle Slayer and quickly seasoned it per the instructions. Already made some incredible smash burgers and recently made two batches of tortillas (which my wife and I couldn’t stop eating). Can’t wait to experiment more with this well built tank

“ I Love this smoker!   Smoke zone temp is so consistent, rotating whole chickens is unnecessary.  With the top rack installed I’ve got 4 cook zones!  The smoke zone, the heat entrance, and 2 spots up top. It gets 100-200 hundred degrees hotter up there!  Oh and the griddle top on the fire box sears like a champ!  Very impressive! “

I scoured the internet and did tons of research for months when preparing for my next smoker purchase. I looked across the country, at all the “big name” companies and my research lead me to Deep Creek Smokers. The craftsmanship, coupled with the price is something you aren’t going to find anywhere else, trust me I’ve looked. Brent was quick to respond to all my questions and was very transparent throughout the process. Every interaction with Brent solidified my decision even more. The HotBox itself cooks like a dream. It’s a tank and holds heat in all the different types of weather we get here in the Midwest. If you’re in the market for a new smoker, stop looking. I couldn’t recommend Deep Creek Smokers and Brent enough.
