Safe Use Recommendations

PITBOX™ is engineered to retain heat for extended periods during the meat resting process. Stainless steel surfaces, hot contents, and steam may become extremely hot during use. Always use heat-resistant gloves and open carefully to avoid steam exposure. PITBOX™ is intended for resting and temporary heat retention of cooked foods only. The insulated EPP outer shell should never be placed on grills, stovetops, in ovens, or over open flames. Always follow proper food safety guidelines and verify serving temperatures with a food thermometer.

FAQs

What exactly is a PITBOX™?

PITBOX™ is a purpose-built insulated box designed specifically for resting smoked meats like brisket, pork shoulder, ribs, and more. Unlike old plastic coolers, it’s clean, safe, and made for the job.

Where is PITBOX™ made?

We’re proud to be sourcing and manufacturing PITBOX™ in the USA - especially in the Southeast where BBQ runs deep, y’all!

What is it made of?

Stainless steel inner box with lid and a durable, lightweight, easy-to-clean expanded polypropylene (EPP) outer shell.

What sizes does it come in?

Currently, PITBOX™ comes in two sizes. The original is for the at home backyard pitmaster looking to up his game and finish to cook. The PITBOX™ PRO was designed for local restaurants and caterers looking to feed an army.

PITBOX™: 14" L x 12" W x 6" H – Perfect for pork butts, ribs, and smaller briskets

PITBOX™ PRO: 22" L x 13.75" W x 6" H – For full briskets or multiple racks of ribs

PITBOX™ MINI: 13.75" L x 6" W x 6" H – For steaks, pork chops or smaller cuts (coming soon)

How long will it keep meat hot?

PITBOX™ can hold internal meat temps above 140°F for up to 4+ hours (depending on the cut and wrapping method). We've run the tests, and the results speak for themselves.

Can I use it for cold foo

You bet. While it’s made for resting meat, PITBOX™ works great as a cooler for drinks, sides, or anything that needs to stay cold - even during transport.

Is it leak-proof?

Yes. The top seal is specifically designed to lock in heat, moisture, steam, and if tilted nothing should spill.

How does it compare to a beer cooler?

You could—if you don’t mind BPA, lingering smells, meat juice stains, and questionable cleanliness. PITBOX™ is designed for food safety, heat retention, and peace of mind.
