Not just a standard pig cooker.

This is a Carolina Pig Cooker

You know you want one.
From whole Bar-B-Q pigs to steaks, hot dogs or burgers…this cooker can handle it for you. The large metal cooking surfaces allow for lots of family food fun. You might even want to invite the neighbors or Uncle Bob.

Large handles on each end make it easy to lift the grate for cleaning or transporting cooked meats. Take another look at the close up photos and look at the framework that goes around the cooking grate. This keeps the cooking grate FLAT all the time. Cheap cookers don’t have this and once the cooking grate starts getting hot, it will try to curl or warp. Our frame won't allow that to happen.

Cook with Gas, Charcoal, Wood Or all three.

You can purchase either an all gas cooker or one that will cook with charcoal and wood also. Call us for pricing depending on your specific needs.

Various Colors

Black is our standard color.  Red, Regatta Blue, Royal Blue and other colors are available as an option.
Add $195 for a different color other than the standard black.
Two color cookers are no longer available.

Standard Features on Every Cooker

All of our cookers have dual Diamond Plate Steel work shelves and large cooking surfaces. 4ft models are solid 14-gauge throughout.
5ft models have a 14-gauge top with a 12-gauge bottom.

Gas Shock Lifts

Dual gas shocks provide easy one hand operation of the cooker top. No need to strain yourself trying to get the lid open to see all the cooking action. The top goes up easy and lowers easily. A convenient latch helps lock it in place.

Propane Tank Holders

These heavy duty Propane tank holders, will hold either the small tanks, or the taller tanks. Both 4-ft. and 5-ft cookers come with dual canisters as standard equipment.

Dual Utility Shelves

We’ve placed 2 utility shelves right where you need them. We recently replaced our one long wooden shelf with these sturdy diamond plate metal shelves. Keep those spices, sauces and utensils right at the grill.

2″ Ball Coupler, Wind-up Jack, and Safety Chains

The coupler is quick and simple to hook up to your vehicle for easy towing. The quick wind up jack allows you to lower or lift the end as needed. Safety chains make double sure your cooker stay’s connected. Pull with confidence.

Commercial Grade Solid Welding

Our cookers have “solid welds”, unlike other cookers which have “stitched” welding. That means others place a short welding stitch ever so often along the path of the seam. Our solid welds provide more secure bonds of metal parts with less likelihood of breaks.

2,000 lb Trailer Axle and Suspension

Take another look at the photos and you’ll see just how sturdy this cooker is. Although the cooker only weighs about 500-600 lbs., we place it on a 2,000lb load trailer to add great stability to our units. You’ll be able to tow it around with confidence anywhere you need to go.

Pneumatic Wheels

The large 480×12 wheels provide a smooth ride for your cooker. Load it up with a whole hog and pull it to your site. Go ahead…it can handle it.

Easy light & control

The rear access door drops down for easy access to the inside burner.

Single Burner

All of our cookers contain a single, heavy duty burner. Our burners are custom cut for maximum flame control at all times.

Regulator & Hose Assembly

All of our units have a U.L. listed adjustable gas regulator and hose assembly with a brass control valve. Propane tank holders are connected to the trailer itself to hold your tanks safe and securely in place throughout the cooking process.

Drain Plug for Easy Cleanup

You’ve worked hard to make your cookout a success, you don’t need to work harder to clean up afterwards. All our cookers have a convenient drain plug at the bottom to help speed up the process.

Additional Specifications

Cooking Temperature Range:


  • Temperature range for this cooker is 185-450 degrees.

  • It can handle anything from hot dogs to steaks to whole hogs easily.

  • A heavy duty thermometer is attached to the top of the cooker for easy viewing.

CAUTION:  Filling the wood-charcoal tray with charcoal can cause the cooker to reach temperatures well over 500º. Leaving the lid closed for any length of time at such high temps can cause paint damage to the lid of your cooker and possibly warp the cooking tray.  We always suggest that you start the cooker with no more than 5-lbs of charcoal to learn just how well it cooks with a small amount, then make adjustments accordingly.
