hi benjikiwi,
being the owner of sc smokers id be happy to answer any questions you have on them.
also owning Aussie pitmasters i thought it would be a little narcissistic to post up a review on my site for a product i own

the chubby has been a VERY popular choice for those looking at pits.
The Firebox is deliberately larger than any other manafacurer on the market to allow for a BIG clean combustion of Redgum or Ironbark we have here in victoria/nsw.
The cooking grates are also flattened expanded steel which is a much better product than just expanded mesh.
as for cooking, the pit is bang on temp left to right due to our heat management plate.
Pretty much everything on the pit has a good reason behind it so ask away

The other thing we are offering (as many of our pits at the moment are built to order due to demand) is having the pit unpainted from factory. you can nominate it to be oiled or unoiled if you want to have some patina put on it before oiling it.
