J&R Oyler Commercial BBQ Pit (700–1300)

The original Oyler pit, invented in 1974, is widely recognized as the gold standard in commercial barbecue. Built for authentic wood-fired cooking, unmatched durability, and extreme production capacity, Oyler pits have powered legendary barbecue operations for decades. Many early units are still producing world-class barbecue today.

Available in two sizes and two configurations, the Oyler lineup is designed to scale with your operation while maintaining consistent flavor, efficiency, and safety.

• 700 & 1300 Models: Traditional wood-fired operation

• 700E & 1300E Models: Wood-fired with electric heating assist for improved efficiency

Standard Models – 700 & 1300 (Wood-Fired)

The standard Oyler models cook exclusively with wood, delivering true, traditional barbecue flavor without compromise. Heat and smoke from wood fuel create the unmistakable taste customers recognize and return for. Gas is intentionally excluded to protect flavor integrity.

These models are fully insulated and use Oyler’s proven air-control and thermostatic system to maintain temperature for up to 14 hours unattended.

Electric Assist Models – 700E & 1300E

E Models enhance efficiency by adding clean electric heating elements and a convection fan to the cook chamber. This electric assist dramatically reduces wood consumption without altering flavor, unlike gas-assisted pits.

The result is greater control, faster recovery, and lower operating costs while preserving authentic wood-smoked barbecue.
