Founded by Noah Glanville, a Navy Corpsman who served in Iraq, the idea for the Pit Barrel® Cooker was born after a heartfelt welcome home barbecue hosted by veterans. Inspired by the comforting smell of charcoal and grilled food, Noah knew he wanted to create something that would bring people together just like that special day. From its early stages, the Glanville family poured all their resources into this dream, and today, the Pit Barrel® Cooker has earned rave reviews from novices to industry professionals alike.
