Pitmaker Vault

[*SL*Celaya]

I was wondering if any one of you have this pit. I heard its a really good pit, and is very efficient. I was just wondering if any of you feel the same way, and if their are any problems what are they? Thanks

I don't own the Vault but I have a Safe. Built by Pitmaker the Safe is the Vaults little brother. Great cooker and yes very efficient.

I have had my vault for about a year now and it is pretty awesome. Long burn times, super efficient, built like a tank. I haven't had a single issue with mine. They were a little hard to deal with during the build process, but once we finally got the pit we couldn't be happier.

Here are some pics of my Safe.



And yes even temps top to bottom no water in pan the target temp was 250 I wanted to run. The 300 is the maximum temp I wanted to hit

Fullofbull. How does the safe hold temps down around 250°? I have been researching these pits for a while and my concern is keeping the temps down around that 250° mark. I have heard if you get up to 300 that its hard to bring the pit back down to temp. What is your experience with this?

If I cook with the Guru it does all the work. When I cook with out it I open the intake all the way and cut the exhaust back to about 1/4 when it hits about 235 or so choke the intake to about fingernail width and she rides just fine at 250.

Rockin' lookin cooker. How many briskets will it hold?

[Fullofbull]

It will hold 4 full packers about 16 lbs ea. or so or you can run 2 8-10# flats on each grate. There are 4 grates in the the pit. The grates are 20 1/2" deep and 15 1/2" wide so it will hold full size pans. Each grate is about 3 1/2" to 4" apart.

The Vault can hold somewhere between 10-15 briskets depending on size. It is 5 racks and you can do 2-3 per rack.

@HotIron, do you have your vault on a trAiler or just on the casters?
