OUR STORY
Over time, global BBQ, grilling, and baking have shifted towards efficiency and shortcuts. At The Wood Fire Cookery Group, we are steadfast in our belief that authentic cooking should be rooted in the age-old techniques using wood, fire, and smoke. Seasoned cook wood, often overlooked, is a pivotal ingredient in gastronomy. By cooking solely with wood, unparalleled flavors are imparted to meat, fish, poultry, pizza, bread, vegetables, and even coffee. Our dedication to authenticity, coupled with our consistently exceptional and meticulously crafted equipment, has positioned us at the pinnacle of our industry.
At Primitive Pits, we champion the age-old BBQ tradition, emphasizing wood, fire, and smoke over modern shortcuts. Specializing in 250, 500, and 1000 gallon tank sizes, our commitment to this primal method, coupled with advanced computational fluid dynamics, has positioned us at the forefront of the commercial offset smoker market. We provide exceptional performance with a convection standard of ±5 degrees across our products. Our unbeatable prices and a clientele roster that boasts Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ joints and renowned chefs affirm our unparalleled quality and expertise in the industry.
WORKHORSE PITS

Every unit is handcrafted, highlighting our acute attention to detail, commitment to superior quality, and dedication to providing value at a competitive price point.
El Bandido, inspired by the nostalgic allure of wood fire cooking, offers innovative Argentinian-style gaucho grills, handcrafted in the USA with American steel. Brought to you by the creators of Primitive Pits and Workhorse Pits, El Bandido introduces the world's first wireless, chainless, caster-mounted gaucho grill. Designed for both backyard enthusiasts and top-tier restaurants, this unique grill, available in two finishes and sizes, enables heat control by adjusting the cooking grate's proximity to the embers, with options for standalone use or tandem setups.
Greetings! Since childhood, I've been enchanted by the primal art of wood fire cooking, a passion ignited by family moments around campfires and a life-changing introduction to Texas brisket in the 1990s. My journey led me to craft cooking tools and establish brands like Primitive Pits (2015) and Workhorse Pits (2019). In 2022, I introduced American Cook Wood, specializing in slow-dried, seasoned cook wood. Join me on my YouTube channel, Quetorials, as we explore the world of wood fire cooking, featuring guest interviews, insights from both commercial and backyard settings, and valuable tips from my experiences. #quelife
