Houston’s Gator Pit has created one-of-a-kind smokers for numerous clients. They fired up the Gator Pit Space Shuttle, pictured above, on the Discovery Channel show King of the Grill.
4. Pistol BBQ Grill
In true Texas style, Spook and J.W. Holtman, of Lubbock, fashioned this 19-foot-long BBQ grill in the shape of a revolver. As they put it: “Heck, it’s Texas, what did you expect?” The grill includes a 36-by-60-inch primary grill, with two doors and a 12-by-36-inch secondary grill.
3. El Toro Bravo Smoker
This bull-shaped smoker features a unique design that implements forced air induction, off-setting the flaws of the firebox design. Aside from the practical elements, the designer added some fun features. For example, you can blow smoke rings out of the bull’s nostrils by pumping the tail a few times. There’s also a smaller version in the shape of a wild boar.
2. A Truly One-of-a-Kind Smoker

It weighs 40 tons and stretches 75 feet long. The smoker is so huge that law enforcement officials have required special permits and as escorts to move it.
