Aug. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- As some of you may know, recently, Pit Bulls “Up In Smoke” acquired our latest smoker – the Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker created and manufactured by Randall Bowman of Cumming, Georgia.  As the build-out of the smoker unfolded we had the opportunity to watch this beast come to life.  We couldn’t wait until the day Randall called us saying “the smoker is ready.”  Danny was up there at his first opportunity to pick it up and bring it to its new home.

Randall worked feverishly on the mammoth dual chamber smoker – taking great care in making it one of the best, if not the best, smoker on the market today.  No expense was spared.  He painted the smoker a beautiful gloss red and black to match our colors and mounted it on the back of our new rig.  It was a pleasure and an honor to work with someone so passionate about their product and the sport of barbecue – Randall believes in producing only the highest quality product for a high quality cook – his smokers are designed for those who are serious about the sport and art of barbecue.  The beauty of the Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker is that it gives you the ability to cook hot & fast and low & slow all on one cooker – which is a tremendous benefit for teams like ours that use both cook methods at competition.

Our Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker has two separate interior chambers with 12 gauge walls.  Each chamber is 28” wide, 30” deep, and 34” tall.  The racks are 27”x29” made out of 1’ square tube and ¾” #9 flattened steel (no tip runner).  The patented header system in each chamber is built out of 4”x4” square tubing that is ¼” thick with a minimum of 2” of 2000 degree insulation.  Sloped with a 2” grade to drain (top chamber into bottom, with bottom draining to 1 ½” ball valve), exhaust is engineered to work in conjunction with the patented header to supply consistent and accurate heat and even cooking temperatures.  

We can tell you from our experience that this smoker is dead on the money when it comes to consistent and accurate heat and cooking temperatures (the smoker maintains a consistent temp from front to back and side to side of +/- 1 degree.)  There are NO HOTSPOTS with the Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker.  You can place your meats anywhere in the smoker and have a consistent temperature without over or under cooking – it offers a flawlessly easy cook.

Each chamber has its own firebox and each firebox is run separately from the other.  The charcoal chutes are built out of 8”x8” square steel tube that is ¼” thick.  The ash boxes are 8”x8”, 13” deep and made out of ¼” thick steel.  The heat exchange into the header system is 4”x8” steel that is also ¼” thick.  There is 4” of 2000 degree insulation between the chutes/fireboxes and the cooking chamber walls to protect the chambers from the ambient heat and preventing hot spots along the cooking chamber wall.

We have had the Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker since the Covered Bridge ‘Que in Euharlee, Georgia, where it made its grand entrance into the barbecue world.  It was our first cook with the smoker and we took home a Grand Champion trophy that day.  That says a lot about the amazing cooking ability of this smoker.  We were not totally familiar with the new smoker, but it held its own and did exactly what it was designed to do – provide us with an awesome, flawless cook!  Our sponsors, Moore’s Marinade (www.mooresmarinade.com) and Royal Oak Charcoal (www.royal-oak.com) were thrilled with the new smoker and our great finish!

We have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Randall Bowman for a couple of years now.  He is passionate about the sport of barbecue and takes great pride in everything he does – from competing to building his fine smokers.  Randall grew up in metro Atlanta, passionate about the art of ‘que.  “We have a long family history in BBQ,” Randall states.  Randall attended, as he puts it, high school and college (some) and played professional baseball for a few years.  At the end of his ball playing he was living in California and was a partner in a health club.  

Randall goes on to say, “I was fortunate to open and operate several other health clubs over the next few years as well as funding three other successful business operations.  In 2003, I was involved in a near fatal auto accident and sold all my interest in all business to focus on my recovery.  During my recovery, I explored my passion for barbecue much more in depth.”  Randall bought his first “real smokers” in 2004, and in 2005 after not finding what he wanted in a smoker, began building his own.  

Randall’s desire to build his own smoker quickly became an “obsession” to build the best cooker ever and, in 2005, Randall said, “I was approached to invest in a national caliber Motocross track and jumped in with both feet…itching to get back into the business, I also took on the food side of the operation and opened Deep South BBQ.”  Randall began polishing his culinary skills and making changes to the cookers he had built for his own use, changing the cookers sometimes from week to week until he felt they had them right.

“I knew a little about BBQ competition and was asked to compete in the 2007 Clovis, California Red Hot & Real BBQ Competition.  We heard our name called in our first competition and that sparked my competitive nature.”  From that first competition, where he is at today was born.  It was at that point, Randall said, “We decided to move home to Georgia in 2008 and begin building our food concession and catering business (even prior to making the move.)”  

Deep South BBQ quickly became one of the foremost event concession companies in Georgia and catered for some of the most prestigious venues and clientele in the state.  Randall’s competition life continued to grow throughout the southeast and he began building more and more cookers for themselves, family, and friends.  Then, they began building smokers for friends of friends and the word spread quickly that Randall’s team was doing things other smoker builders were not (caring for and about their customers).  “I want my customers to call to thank me, not a week after their cooker gets to them, but 10 years after.”  Deep South Smokers takes pride in building a cooker that will last a lifetime.  It is their goal to build you the last cooker you will ever need.  

As Randall goes on to say, “We have been fortunate enough to meet a lot of great folks in the BBQ world and make a lot of lifelong friends.  BBQ is our life and our business.  When we are not working building smokers we are with our BBQ family and friends out there on the circuit competing.  We live by the motto, ‘If you dream it, we can build it.’”

We, at Pit Bulls “Up In Smoke” are here to say that Deep South Smokers and Randall Bowman live up to that motto.  They have created a one-of-a-kind smoker, leaving nothing to chance.  Every thought, every angle, every piece of steel, insulation, nuts, and bolts, have been carefully planned out and brought together with unwavering consistency, reliability, beauty and most importantly the ability to provide a flawless cook.
