New Steel versus Old Used Steel Cookers. What do you really prefer when it comes down to true quality in a cooker?
You can pay thousands of bucks for an old retired Propane tank cooker. One that is rusted. Valves cut out and patched or plugged. Gas or other chemicals stored in it. Sat in a field for 30 years. Or, you can pay that same amount of bucks for brand new pipe. Clean, no patches or plugs. Fresh from the steel mill. Quality meets ASME oil and gas pipeline standards.
I have had customer bring tank cookers to me that were only a few years old, already rusted thru. Paid thousands and cooker lasted about 3 years before they were looking at someone to repair the hole. One customer purchased a tank cooker and the builder used BONDO to patch the rusted out areas and placed that area on the bottom with a nice paint job the concealed it. Over time, heat cracked the Bondo and he had a hole thru the bottom of his cooker. I am not making this up.
Always the risk consumer take when purchasing retired tank cookers. With Gator Pit of Texas, LP you will NEVER have to worry about the quality nor have surprises of your cooker falling apart.
Get Gator and have piece of mind knowing your cooker is 100% new quality steel inside and out.

Gator takes the time to fit doors perfectly back in place making them extremely tight to prevent heat and smoke leakage. No gaskets required on a Gator.
