Shipping & Delivery
How Your Smoker Gets From Mentone to You
A thousand pounds of steel, delivered like it left the shop.
We build your smoker to survive decades of fire, so we are not about to let the highway be the thing that scratches it. Every Outlaw leaves Mentone protected for the road, and how it travels depends on what you ordered.
Drum Smokers
Boxed and on the Way
Ringo family drums are light enough to ship direct. Order online and your drum is packed at the shop and sent to your door, anywhere in the lower 48.
Offset Smokers
Crated Freight
Cart and porch models ship by freight in a custom crate built around your exact pit at the shop. The quick detach exhaust comes off for transit and reinstalls in minutes.
Trailers & Rigs
Rolling Home
The Hideout, Express, HOSS, and trailer-mounted pits leave on their own wheels. Hook up at the shop, or we arrange transport to your door. New pits are set and secured on your trailer before anything moves.
Built Around Your Pit
The Crate Is Custom Too
A shipping crate from Outlaw is not a pallet and a prayer. It is framed around your specific smoker at the shop, braced where your pit needs bracing, so the finish that left Mentone is the finish that shows up.
Built around your exact model and build
Exhaust removed, wrapped, and crated with the pit
Crating cost quoted up front with your build
Delivery Day
When the Truck Pulls Up
Freight deliveries are curbside: the driver gets your smoker off the truck, and moving it to the patio is on your side of the handshake, so have a buddy or a tractor ready for the big pits. Before the driver leaves:
Walk around the crate and look it over
Note any damage on the delivery receipt before signing

Pickup at the Shop
Plenty of Outlaw owners turn delivery day into a road trip. When your build is done, we will schedule a pickup time, load your smoker, and strap it down right. One owner hauled a Patio XL eight and a half hours home and could not even tell it was back there.
Pickup is scheduled ahead with the shop, so everything is loaded and ready when you pull in.
Shipping costs are quoted with your build. Freight to a Texas ranch and freight to an Indiana backyard are not the same trip, so we quote your actual route instead of padding a flat rate. Your quote lists the smoker, the crate if one is needed, and the freight, all before you commit.
