Convecture™ Technology

Convecture™ Technology is the term applied to a series of patents that have revolutionized the way the world cooks smoked foods. These patents center around the unique way heat and smoke are circulated within an enclosed cooking chamber contained inside a smoker oven. It not only allows the food to be cooked consistently but results in extreme efficiency and distribution of heat and smoke, all contained within a very small space.

Our Planet

We believe we should all be good stewards of our environment. We strive eagerly to create the most efficient solid fuel burning smoking equipment available. At Ole Hickory Pits™, research and development is not a single event, it’s an ongoing process!
