THe T-Bird
A New Breed of Drum Smoker. Built Stronger, Hotter, and Smarter.
Meet the T-Bird, the newest addition to the Cotton Gin Smokers family and a true evolution of the traditional drum smoker concept. While it carries the familiar drum-style layout, the T-Bird is built from thick 14-gauge steel, fully fabricated in-house for superior durability, heat retention, and consistency.
In other words, no 55-gallon drums were harmed in the making of this pit.
The T-Bird is engineered for versatility, offering both low-and-slow smoking and high-heat grilling thanks to a dual-zone design with two independent charcoal systems. With multiple grate levels, a hanging system, and precision airflow control, the T-Bird gives pitmasters total command over every cook.

COTTON GIN REVIEWS
"I purchased the cottongin Harvester as my first drum smoker, and 4 years later it hasn't let me down. Beautiful design, and fire management is easy to control! Easy to get to temp and quick recovery time if your temperature goes up or down. Love the door for easy access to your charcoal basket, and water pan if you use one to cook. Since using the Harvester we've landed a bunch of top 10 and top 5 calls in the competition bbq circuit. Do yourself a solid and purchase one as your next smoker. You will not be disappointed!!"
- Kenny V (SmoKEN Meatz BBQ)
"I am not a review person, however this one is necessary. At the time I ordered this one, I ordered 2 more from competing companies. The Harvester, by leaps and bounds, is a superior product. The fit, finish and attention to details sets it on another level. Its also a show stopper from passerby's. One last comment....cheaper than the other 2 I purchased."
