Built To Last

Every Legacy pit is hand-built from quality American materials — down to the casters and wheels. No corners cut, built to last.

Handmade Polished Stainless

Every stainless steel component is handmade and polished right here in house — another way we add quality and that personal touch to every build.

Quality American Steel

Heavy-gauge steel and quality components throughout — cook chambers, fireboxes, and frames built to take decades of real use.

USA-Made Casters & Wheels

From heavy-duty casters to custom off-road wheels, the rolling gear is American-made and rated to carry the weight — smooth and solid for years.

All Stainless Hardware

Every nut, bolt, hinge, and fastener is stainless steel — so the hardware holding your pit together won't rust out from under it.

Built One At A Time

No assembly line. Each pit is built to order by hand, with the same care and ingenuity that has earned customers who drive hundreds of miles to pick one up.

A Legacy That Lasts

These are heirloom-grade cookers — built to be handed down. Buy once, cook on it for a lifetime, and pass it to the next generation.

Proudly built in Brandon, Mississippi — Made in the USA

What Owners Are Saying

Real reviews from Legacy Metal Works customers.

"I have personally owned 7 different smokers over the years and really did not need another excuse to buy another, but when I saw the quality of the build that Kurt put together, I just knew I had to have one! Every aspect of the build — from the firebox design, to the unique deflector plate design, to all the quality hardware and components used — is top notch! Kurt spent a lot of one-on-one time working with me through all the custom features I wanted. I truly believe this is a service you would not receive with most any other fabricator. For the price you can't beat it. I truly believe this is a 'legacy' build that will be passed down for several generations to come. Cowboy ribeye done right — doesn't get any better than that. I dare you to find a better steak cooker than this Legacy pit. Just plain awesome!!!"

"I love my Legacy offset smoker — my first ever. It's more than a smoker to me, it's art. It runs flawlessly. The food that comes off this unit is Mic Drop quality every time, star of the show! I'm definitely looking forward to purchasing some of the other live fire cookers from Legacy in the near future. The design and quality is unmatched in my opinion."
Ryan Brown94-Gallon Offset SmokerGoogle
"I am grateful to be among the first to receive my personalized smoker. This thing is very high quality and personalized to exactly what I wanted — the sky is the limit when it comes to personalizing your grill, smoker, or fire pit. Kurt Johnson, the owner, is a wonderful person whose work is second to none. He'll create anything you can dream of, takes pride in his work, and goes above and beyond to make your dream smoker come to life. I have a new-found friend — if you're in the market for a grill, smoker, or fire pit, hit him up. You'll be glad you did."
