Details

Very similar to the Warrior drum design, The Gladiator also features a handle in the front for lifting its lid upwards adding a level of ease to your cook. It boasts a locking feature in its hinge, which secures your lid while open. It features 2 extended upright air intake pipes with teardrop dampers for regulating precise air flow to your fire. Its side handles are part of the same cool design as the lid handle. The Gladiator features 2 top of the line Tel-Tru analog dial thermometers mounted on the drum and lid, giving it that pro touch and feel. It also hosts a holder/mount for digital thermometers, plus a sturdy port for insertion of their probes and wires. The port is a key touch in preventing sensor wires from getting pinched or damaged under the weight of the lid for example. The charcoal basket is large with an ash catcher built in underneath. It can hold a lot of charcoal plus wood to keep you going for as long as 20+ hours of low and slow smoking. Fully powder coated in standard black. Available in various other colors and color combinations of powder coat at an additional charge. Contact for custom color profiles & other custom options.

Wanna Downgrade Some Of This Drums Standard Features?

Like the look of this design, but want to remove some of its standard features? Are you budget conscious and looking to save some money? Perhaps you think you can do without certain amenities. For example, maybe you think you can do without the adjustable grate holder system, because you won’t be hanging meat, ribs in particular. Or maybe you have a plan for a more stationary setup, and don’t necessarily need the wheels. Maybe you want to leave the side handles out? We can work with you! Give us a call or text with your requests.
