I have used the unit for many church functions and every one asks what I did to improve my Pork Butts ( it was just the cooker ) every thing comes out more moist and a better flavor and deeper smoke ring . I am a happy BBQ er .

I just purchased the 3660 Rotisserie Smoker and it is the best smoker on the market. I own a family operated bbq place in West Tn, been cooking with direct fire, on concrete and metal pits all my life and this smoker will give me the same hickory smoked flavor and save me time and money. The Smoker is everything Joe says and more. Joe and the crew at Cadillac Cookers take pride in the workmanship and are great people to work with. Thanks Joe and crew for making my job easier and serving a great product. Mark Anderson Big Daddy’s BBQ
Greetings from California!
Hi Joe, Dale, Mike, Laura and the entire crew of Cadillac Cookers! What a fantastic start for our business as we have been using the 4872 model. This cooker is an awesome monster and I see our company outgrowing this “little monster” soon. The temperature holds very well and the motor works fantastic. We smoked Ribs, pork shoulders, briskets, sausages, links, bbq bean, chicken breasts/thighs/wings/drums, whole chickens…the list is endless. We’ve just competed in our first event at the OC bbq Bonanza in Fountain Valley, CA (met the Mayor of Fountain Valley, Larry Crandall) Gained alot of recognition locally, appeared on local television and a local cable network! I requested the camera man to zoom in on Cadillac Cookers to get you guys some air time! =) We were given the opportunity to cater for a launch party for Guinness Beers’ “Black Lager” two weeks ago at the request of Tony Moreno (West L.A. and Orange county distributor) to setup at Beauchamp Distributing Company in Compton, CA (Mr. Beauchamp personally came out to witness and thanked us for hauling our rig to his parking lot because his entire staff was buzzin’ about us), will be vending at the Long Beach LobsterFest this week and OctoberFest in Long Beach, CA at the end of this month! Thanks so much for everything you’ve done for us! We really appreciate it over here at bolsabbq.com. My bbq rig is amazing and it never seizes to amaze everyone who see’s it. We’ll be in touch!

It was Charlie Strack. He is the owner of a large hunting ranch.
We have been friends for 30 years and when they wanted to build the “Man Cave” at the main lodge they asked me what I would recommend for a smoker. I have never purchased from you before but have been smoking food for 20 years.
I knew rotisserie was the way to go so I researched many sites and specifications before choosing Cadillac Cookers.
I have personally cooked on their pit twice now (they asked me to come up and show them how) and the results were good. I know you get many nice comments from clients but I can tell you that when you can cook a wild pig and make it come out better than anything you have ever cooked before- that is saying something. Really.
We did 2 pigs (quartered), 1 wild turkey, 1 regular turkey, 8 whole chickens, beef ribs and countless sausage. All at the same time.
I also did quail breasts wrapped in bacon. These stayed on for 1 hour then finished over the grill to crisp the bacon. The flew off the plates.
In summary: Appetizers, snacks, main dinner course and lunch were all done on the same day with the unit.
You have done a remarkable job throughout the design and I offer my congratulations.
I look forward to seeing the new burner design as described on your site.
Greetings, I referred a friend of mine to you who purchased a large model for the ranch. We cooked two wild hogs last weekend. Cut them into quarters, used “Boar no More” and smoked them for 5 hours at 225. Then wrapped them and added Shiner Bock beer. Another 4 hours. No one could believe they were wild pigs. Best, moist pulled pork ever. My question is- do you sell a small 3′ long unit for my house? What is the smallest unit you sell? Thanks.
Hello
Bought my Cadillac Cooker on Ebay. Joe contacted me immediately and helped me make the custom changes to my grill to fit my business. My wife and I drove the smoker from Sikeston to Massachusetts at highways speeds and drove beautiful. Ive spent the past 2 weeks refining my recipes and bbqing procedures to fit the 10 shelf rotisserie with their new gas air convection system. I am very pleased with the new grill and have put my Lang 84 up for sale! Thank you Cadillac Cookers!
I put an order in on a new prototype 4X4. I took a trip up to Sikeston to see Joe and the gang to see first hand what this pit is all about.No need to go there unless you want to meet some great people and see an awesome pit. Glad to know team Cadillac Cookers know and can’t wait to get my new pit.
If any current Cadillac Cookers owners have any tips on how to do the weekend corner of the road sales spot and make money please share with us up and coming Cadillac Cookers owners.
I got my 4860 in May of this year, I wanted to run it through the summer before making any comments. It never fails that the smoker draws attention, and comments, not only from the people at the event, but also passers by! But, it is at the end of the day when they all come back around to rave about the product that says it all!
Pros: Pulls so easy, and rides so smooth you can hardly tell it is there. Low wood usage. Very consistent product. Attention getter. Well built, with great craftsmanship.
Cons: None really, could use a manual with tips, FAQs, suggestions, recommended maintenance, etc. even if it is an online pdf. Also a Cadillac owners forum so we can trade ideas, share experiences, and learn from each other.
Question: Can I use the rib racks on the top stack rack of my 10 rack 4860, or will it not clear the bottom of the other racks? Should I just order them off your ebay site, or get them direct, or does it matter (are they the same?).
Thanks so much for the GREAT REVIEW !! We are currently working on a Cadillac Cookers Owners Forum. We should have it complete aroun Dec. 15th. We are also shooting some new videos on our smokers that will be available on youtube.com. Just give us a call on the ribracks and we will take care of you. Thanks again for your business!!
I didn’t make the claim, “One of the world’s largest rotisserie smokers.” Gordon reported that to draw in the large crowds that helped us sellout. Thanks Gordon!

I just wanted to thanks Joey and the boys for all the hard work and extra time that they had to put into building my massive 48 x 84 Cadillac Cooker! This thing is a beast! I took alot of extra fab work to fit it on the back of my concession trailer and they found a way to get it done. I have been cooking on this new pit since the begininng of July and the end result to my BBQ has been wonderful! Hands down Cadillac Cookers are the best! I am able now to cook twice the amount of meat each week with half the amount of wood and with very little effort on my part! Thanks again guys for the BBQ Pit!
Hello Joe, I just wanted to let you know I have enjoyed smoking with the 48×60 smoker. Everything we have put on the smoker from bakedbeans, potatoe casserole the meats we have cooked has been great. Just a short story to tell you, after we got off the interstate from the trip to pick the smoker up a gentleman followed us home just so he could look at my smoker, He was amazed by what he saw. Just wanted to say thanks for spending the time and making a quality cooker.
Joe, just wanted to comment on the 3660 that we picked up a few weeks ago, using this cooker was the best. It held temp all day from 7:00 am untill 6:00pm and everyting came out great from the chicken to the ribs to the brisket. This is a great cooker, you and your crew do outstanding work.
Hey there Joe, It’s only been four days since the delivery of my 48 by 60. Cooked whole chickens and brisket the day after seasoning the cooker, And I was completely in awe at how the awesome the cooker held the steady temp. Gave the chickens away to people around town. Had four phone calls that very nite saying it was the best chicken they ever ate, And they would like me to cook at some parties. You guys are truly great people to do business with, And couldn’t be happier with such a great piece of well built equipment. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!
Joe, Thanks for such a OUTSTANDING product. We have done several jobs for 400 to 500 people. The cooker makes the jobs much easier. As soon as I can talk “Her” into another one we will be making a road trip to Sikeston, Mo.
Joe,
I have been cooking on the pit since I got it around Christmas. Man, it doesn’t matter what I cook it turns out GREAT! The pit design is amazing. I originally got it to help my church raise money for a new building but people have been calling and ordering from me all the time. So, I may just start a side business. I have cooked brisket, pork butts, ribs, turkey, ham, sausage, and chicken. All have tasted outstanding. You and the rest of the staff have been very helpful. I look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks again!
Got one of your cookers last year with the intention of just messing around on weekends with my friends and family.now it has turned into an every saturday business that is making me 400.00 to 600.00dollars and i am only open 4 hours.anyone can smoke like a pro in no time flat with your smokers.I alsowon second in chicken first in pulled pork and won the peoples choice award in my first competition.come on up to Lincoln IL. and check us out.

Attn: Joe,
The Cadillac Cooker is a great piece of equipment, or business is GROWING as fast as we can keep up with it. Everytime we cook our customers RAVE about the meat that comes out of the rig. We’ve been cooking bigger and bigger parties and now we need to order the stack racks.
Thanks For The Great Piece of Equipment
And Great Service Alan
Joe was a pleasure to work with. Communication was great, and he answered my many questions. We were very impressed when we received the smoker and had it fired up to season immediately. Had it cooking for a hundred people the next day and it was the best food we have ever produced. The smoker is solid and very well made. With the company sign attached, our guests and hungry crowds are in awe at the specticle of hundreds of pounds of meats slow cooking in our rotisserie. We couldn’t be happier with such a great purchase.
It has been an Absolut pleasure doing business with them. Being in business myself, it a treat to be treated with such a professional and caring attitude. Now the good part, the cooker, whoa, i have been smoking for years but with a nicer gas smoker, and always wondered what it would be like to use a professional unit like this. I assure you i was flabbergasted of the ease of use, the professional construction and overall well thought out layout of my unit. They certainly have done their homework. I have had it now for 4 days and have used it three times, all of which have produced excellent results. One problem, my neighbors are absolutely bumming out, i try to share as much as i can, but you know how it goes open the gate little and before u know it you have a stampede, lol. I could go on and on, these are the real deal, and i couldn’t be happier. Good going Joe, and keep up the great service and craftsmanship.

Joe, Just picked up the Cadillac “Big Boy” 48×60 from the St. Paddy’s Day event/parade held in “Dogtown” in
downtown St.Louis. Fed over a thousand people. When I picked up the cooker to take it back home, I asked
the event operator what he thought about the cooker. He said it was the “Best damn cooker that they have
ever used and people were writing down our phone number to rent the cooker all day long”. As I pulled away
with the cooker in tow people started to applaude and placed their hands toward the ground and bowed down
as the cooker drove past , screaming and yelling like the Big boy was a celebrity. I personally have never seen
anything like that, it was really cool.
I know that I made the right choice in selecting Cadillac Cookers as the
only cooker for RENT-A-PIT USA.
p.s… if anyone needs a Lang 84 deluxe, I have one for sale …won’t be needing it any longer.
I just wanted to tell you that your rotisserie smoker is the bomb!!!
I am sorry that I am so late in writing this but I have been so busy cooking on the unit I have hardly had time.
Within 3 weeks of picking it up and towing back to Ohio (it tows great by the way) I had to do a BBQ chicken fund raiser for our youth shooting team the weekend following July 4th. I was able to cook 170 chicken quarters to perfection. I have the 5 foot model. I have since done ribs, pork butts, pork loins, and pork tenderloins. They all have turned out better than I have ever done.
I set up on a busy corner one Saturday afternoon and make $400 just selling ribs and chicken. At this rate the unit will pay for itself before year’s end!
To anyone considering one of Joe’s cookers you won’t be disappointed! I have had many people look at this rig and all are amazed at how heavy duty the unit is for the price! Also the craftsmanship is outstanding! The welds look a bead of caulk! I don’t believe you can find a better unit for any amount!
This unit is truly capable of high volumes! Add rib racks and stack racks and you can feed a lot of people. With stack racks you could get 250 quarters of chicken on the 5 foot model! The rib racks will let you cook 48 racks of ribs and still have room for other things! The warmer box makes this a true catering rig for the fraction of the price!
Once again thank you for a fine cooker and the hospitality you showed my son and me when we came to pick it up!
I just wanted to let you guys know I am ready to order another pit in the next week. Presently I own the
Big Boy and the tandem hog cooker and will be needing one or two more Big Boys and maybe a caster model
48×72. Since using your cookers, I have totally eliminated my Reverse Flow cookers, and as you know I have
purchased directly from the “big boys in the BBQ world” in the past. Just want you to know, that your cookers are quite honestly better and I get more return on my investment. Here’s a short rundown on one of my Big Boy cookers that I rented.
Greekfest, Swansea Illinois 48×60 Big Boy= fed 2000 people over 3 days and earned $11,000.00
$9,000 profit for the Greek Church.
Electrical Workers union picnic = 102 pork steaks at a time 400+ served. Comments were “best food they had
ever cooked at their event”
village of Shiloh, Il annual Picnic fundraiser = 600 kabobs and over 400 Brats. Comments “unbelievable cooker
almost no work involved, Best tasting food, will be renting again”
March 17th, St. Paddy’s Day Dogtown St. Louis…Big Boy is out on rent again. Hotdogs/brats to serve several
thousand people at the event. RENT-A-PIT USA.
As you guys know, I don’t buy ANY junk. Joe and all the guys in Sikeston make a excellent cooker and well worth
the cost. My goal is to have you guys help me design the ‘RENT-A-PIT’ special as we are planning on francising
RENT-A-PIT nationwide and have chosen Cadillac Cookers as our exclusive pit and design team.
All the best, look for a call and order in the next few days. Pleasure doing business with you.
Sincerely,

I would like to convey a heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU to you and your staff on the production of such a fine product. My wife phoned me with the first order to be cooked on the unit as my father and I were seasoning it, just two days after bringing it home! The first cook could not have been more successfull. We loaded the cooker
a (36X60) with 94 lb. of boston butt, 10 lb. of leg quarters, 4 racks of baby back ribs, and 5 bone prime rib roasts.
There was still plenty of room for more, but this was an excellent mix to evaluate the Cadillac Cookers performance. The night of the cook was cool and damp, about 50 degrees F, but the cooker held its heat like a CHAMP, The heat was so consistant that i never had to turn or reposition any meat during the entire cooking process ! Having only previously cooked on offset firebox units, this was a pleasant departure from the usual rotating and repositioning of the meat, which seemed to be a recurring event throughout the cook, to say nothing of the battle of keeping a fire going!
Thanks again for the high quality product ! I wish your company every success in the future !
Peace, and God Bless !

Joe and crew, I just wanted to let you know how much we love cooking on the 3660 Rotisserie Cooker we purchased from you last year (December 2009). First of all we picked the cooker up from your shop and headed back to Minnesota, it pulled great just like you said it would no matter how fast we drove. Since then we have cooked a lot of product on our new cooker. WOW, what a difference from the cookers we were using before. It cooks so consistent, no hot or cold spots. With the new smoker our meat turns out better than ever before !!! Just wanted to say thanks for building such a great product,
We have had our smoker since December and have used it when weather permitted. This is a precisioned instrument that holds a constant temperature without any help. The finished product is better than anything I was ever able to produce in the past. The only way anyone could get my smoker away from me is either steal it or I trade it in for a larger Cadillac unit. You build the perfect smoker and “it ain’t broke so don’t fix it!” I am one happy barbequer!
Than you so much Mr. Weirauch, meeting you and your family was truely a great experience. When we delivered your smoker we were treated with amazing hospitality and we instantly felt like part of the family. I don’t think I have ever met better people in my life! Thank you for the GREAT REVIEW !!!!! (Next time you are in the area please stop in and see us and we will do the same!)
The Smoker is great ! I seasoned it last Sunday at 250 Degrees for six hours. It holds heat great and doesn’t burn alot of wood. I couldn’t be happier. Also the rib racks are awesome. I’m also probably going to have you make a sign for me.
Thanks for your help. A thousand thanks for the pit ! You guys are making pits that are way above and beyond Southern Yankee Smokers, and I’m not just saying that.
We here at Holmes Foods recently purchased the 4860 to use for company functions and community fund raisers. We have yet to cook a huge feast on it but our small test run was absolutely marvelous. Beautiful design, elegant workmanship and easy to use. We look forward to seeing just how much chicken this “Big Boy” will cook. This was a great investment for our company and our people.
Thank you, Joe, for your hospitality, customer service and professionalism. We look forward to doing business with any company that shows your kind of professional courtesy.
I have used the unit for many church functions and every one asks what I did to improve my Pork Butts ( it was just the cooker ) every thing comes out more moist and a better flavor and deeper smoke ring . I am a happy BBQ er .
Mark Anderson
I just purchased the 3660 Rotisserie Smoker and it is the best smoker on the market. I own a family operated bbq place in West Tn, been cooking with direct fire, on concrete and metal pits all my life and this smoker will give me the same hickory smoked flavor and save me time and money. The Smoker is everything Joe says and more. Joe and the crew at Cadillac Cookers take pride in the workmanship and are great people to work with. Thanks Joe and crew for making my job easier and serving a great product. Mark Anderson Big Daddy’s BBQ

Hi Joe, Dale, Mike, Laura and the entire crew of Cadillac Cookers! What a fantastic start for our business as we have been using the 4872 model. This cooker is an awesome monster and I see our company outgrowing this “little monster” soon. The temperature holds very well and the motor works fantastic. We smoked Ribs, pork shoulders, briskets, sausages, links, bbq bean, chicken breasts/thighs/wings/drums, whole chickens…the list is endless. We’ve just competed in our first event at the OC bbq Bonanza in Fountain Valley, CA (met the Mayor of Fountain Valley, Larry Crandall) Gained alot of recognition locally, appeared on local television and a local cable network! I requested the camera man to zoom in on Cadillac Cookers to get you guys some air time! =) We were given the opportunity to cater for a launch party for Guinness Beers’ “Black Lager” two weeks ago at the request of Tony Moreno (West L.A. and Orange county distributor) to setup at Beauchamp Distributing Company in Compton, CA (Mr. Beauchamp personally came out to witness and thanked us for hauling our rig to his parking lot because his entire staff was buzzin’ about us), will be vending at the Long Beach LobsterFest this week and OctoberFest in Long Beach, CA at the end of this month!

Joe was a pleasure to work with. Communication was great, and he answered my many questions. We were very impressed when we received the smoker and had it fired up to season immediately. Had it cooking for a hundred people the next day and it was the best food we have ever produced. The smoker is solid and very well made. With the company sign attached, our guests and hungry crowds are in awe at the specticle of hundreds of pounds of meats slow cooking in our rotisserie. We couldn’t be happier with such a great purchase.
Thank you again Joe!
It has been an Absolut pleasure doing business with them. Being in business myself, it a treat to be treated with such a professional and caring attitude. Now the good part, the cooker, whoa, i have been smoking for years but with a nicer gas smoker, and always wondered what it would be like to use a professional unit like this. I assure you i was flabbergasted of the ease of use, the professional construction and overall well thought out layout of my unit. They certainly have done their homework. I have had it now for 4 days and have used it three times, all of which have produced excellent results. One problem, my neighbors are absolutely bumming out, i try to share as much as i can, but you know how it goes open the gate little and before u know it you have a stampede, lol. I could go on and on, these are the real deal, and i couldn’t be happier. Good going Joe, and keep up the great service and craftsmanship.

Joe, Just picked up the Cadillac “Big Boy” 48×60 from the St. Paddy’s Day event/parade held in “Dogtown” in
downtown St.Louis. Fed over a thousand people. When I picked up the cooker to take it back home, I asked
the event operator what he thought about the cooker. He said it was the “Best damn cooker that they have
ever used and people were writing down our phone number to rent the cooker all day long”. As I pulled away
with the cooker in tow people started to applaude and placed their hands toward the ground and bowed down
as the cooker drove past , screaming and yelling like the Big boy was a celebrity. I personally have never seen
anything like that, it was really cool.
I know that I made the right choice in selecting Cadillac Cookers as the
only cooker for RENT-A-PIT USA.
p.s… if anyone needs a Lang 84 deluxe, I have one for sale …won’t be needing it any longer.
Joe and the gang,
I just wanted to tell you that your rotisserie smoker is the bomb!!!
I am sorry that I am so late in writing this but I have been so busy cooking on the unit I have hardly had time.
Within 3 weeks of picking it up and towing back to Ohio (it tows great by the way) I had to do a BBQ chicken fund raiser for our youth shooting team the weekend following July 4th. I was able to cook 170 chicken quarters to perfection. I have the 5 foot model. I have since done ribs, pork butts, pork loins, and pork tenderloins. They all have turned out better than I have ever done.
I set up on a busy corner one Saturday afternoon and make $400 just selling ribs and chicken. At this rate the unit will pay for itself before year’s end!
To anyone considering one of Joe’s cookers you won’t be disappointed! I have had many people look at this rig and all are amazed at how heavy duty the unit is for the price! Also the craftsmanship is outstanding! The welds look a bead of caulk! I don’t believe you can find a better unit for any amount!
This unit is truly capable of high volumes! Add rib racks and stack racks and you can feed a lot of people. With stack racks you could get 250 quarters of chicken on the 5 foot model! The rib racks will let you cook 48 racks of ribs and still have room for other things! The warmer box makes this a true catering rig for the fraction of the price!
Once again thank you for a fine cooker and the hospitality you showed my son and me when we came to pick it up!
Best regards,

I just wanted to let you guys know I am ready to order another pit in the next week. Presently I own the
Big Boy and the tandem hog cooker and will be needing one or two more Big Boys and maybe a caster model
48×72. Since using your cookers, I have totally eliminated my Reverse Flow cookers, and as you know I have
purchased directly from the “big boys in the BBQ world” in the past. Just want you to know, that your cookers are quite honestly better and I get more return on my investment. Here’s a short rundown on one of my Big Boy cookers that I rented.
Greekfest, Swansea Illinois 48×60 Big Boy= fed 2000 people over 3 days and earned $11,000.00
$9,000 profit for the Greek Church.
Electrical Workers union picnic = 102 pork steaks at a time 400+ served. Comments were “best food they had
ever cooked at their event”
village of Shiloh, Il annual Picnic fundraiser = 600 kabobs and over 400 Brats. Comments “unbelievable cooker
almost no work involved, Best tasting food, will be renting again”
March 17th, St. Paddy’s Day Dogtown St. Louis…Big Boy is out on rent again. Hotdogs/brats to serve several
thousand people at the event. RENT-A-PIT USA.
As you guys know, I don’t buy ANY junk. Joe and all the guys in Sikeston make a excellent cooker and well worth
the cost. My goal is to have you guys help me design the ‘RENT-A-PIT’ special as we are planning on francising
RENT-A-PIT nationwide and have chosen Cadillac Cookers as our exclusive pit and design team.
All the best, look for a call and order in the next few days. Pleasure doing business with you.

Thanks Chris, we look forward to helping you with your franchise venture!
Cadillac Cookers Crew,
I would like to convey a heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU to you and your staff on the production of such a fine product. My wife phoned me with the first order to be cooked on the unit as my father and I were seasoning it, just two days after bringing it home! The first cook could not have been more successfull. We loaded the cooker
a (36X60) with 94 lb. of boston butt, 10 lb. of leg quarters, 4 racks of baby back ribs, and 5 bone prime rib roasts.
There was still plenty of room for more, but this was an excellent mix to evaluate the Cadillac Cookers performance. The night of the cook was cool and damp, about 50 degrees F, but the cooker held its heat like a CHAMP, The heat was so consistant that i never had to turn or reposition any meat during the entire cooking process ! Having only previously cooked on offset firebox units, this was a pleasant departure from the usual rotating and repositioning of the meat, which seemed to be a recurring event throughout the cook, to say nothing of the battle of keeping a fire going!
Thanks again for the high quality product ! I wish your company every success in the future !
Peace, and God Bless !

Thank you Brent it was a pleasure doing business with you !!!
Joe and crew, I just wanted to let you know how much we love cooking on the 3660 Rotisserie Cooker we purchased from you last year (December 2009). First of all we picked the cooker up from your shop and headed back to Minnesota, it pulled great just like you said it would no matter how fast we drove. Since then we have cooked a lot of product on our new cooker. WOW, what a difference from the cookers we were using before. It cooks so consistent, no hot or cold spots. With the new smoker our meat turns out better than ever before !!! Just wanted to say thanks for building such a great product,
Scott & Kathy Lyon
Blue Earth, Minnesota
Thank you very much Scott & Kathy, God Bless And have a great year!!
We have had our smoker since December and have used it when weather permitted. This is a precisioned instrument that holds a constant temperature without any help. The finished product is better than anything I was ever able to produce in the past. The only way anyone could get my smoker away from me is either steal it or I trade it in for a larger Cadillac unit. You build the perfect smoker and “it ain’t broke so don’t fix it!” I am one happy barbequer!
Than you so much Mr. Weirauch, meeting you and your family was truely a great experience. When we delivered your smoker we were treated with amazing hospitality and we instantly felt like part of the family. I don’t think I have ever met better people in my life! Thank you for the GREAT REVIEW !!!!! (Next time you are in the area please stop in and see us and we will do the same!)
The Smoker is great ! I seasoned it last Sunday at 250 Degrees for six hours. It holds heat great and doesn’t burn alot of wood. I couldn’t be happier. Also the rib racks are awesome. I’m also probably going to have you make a sign for me.
Thanks for your help. A thousand thanks for the pit ! You guys are making pits that are way above and beyond Southern Yankee Smokers, and I’m not just saying that.
Thanks Again, Tom Smith
Thanks for the great review. It was a pleasure to do business with you !!
We here at Holmes Foods recently purchased the 4860 to use for company functions and community fund raisers. We have yet to cook a huge feast on it but our small test run was absolutely marvelous. Beautiful design, elegant workmanship and easy to use. We look forward to seeing just how much chicken this “Big Boy” will cook. This was a great investment for our company and our people.
Thank you, Joe, for your hospitality, customer service and professionalism. We look forward to doing business with any company that shows your kind of professional courtesy.
God Bless You and Your Team.
Thank you very much Fred, and don’t worry it will hold alot of chicken !!!
