The Drumbecue PRO is a top-tier barbecue that’s rapidly gaining popularity among professionals and enthusiasts who demand precision, durability, and versatility. It's engineered for those who need high-quality outdoor cooking equipment, especially those in the catering, restaurant, and competitive barbecue world. The Drumbecue PRO offers an elevated cooking experience compared to the Drumbecue Original, which is already known as the leader in the oil drum barbecue market. This professional-grade model is perfect for chefs, pitmasters, and anyone serious about grilling, smoking, and searing.

Key Features of the Drumbecue PRO

Heavy Duty Construction
The Drumbecue PRO is built to last, with its 6mm stainless steel cooking grills and heavy-duty thick steel construction, ensuring longevity even under intense use. These high-grade materials make the Drumbecue PRO incredibly robust, capable of withstanding years of heavy grilling sessions.
Versatile Cooking Options
One of the standout features of the Drumbecue PRO is its multi-functional cooking capabilities. It excels in three major cooking methods:
- Pan cooking (indirect heat): Perfect for slow-cooking and delicate dishes.
- Direct grilling and searing: Achieve those perfect grill marks with high-heat direct grilling.
- Low and slow smoking: Ideal for barbecuing meats over long periods to develop deep, smoky flavors.
Whether you're hosting a cookout, catering an event, or preparing food for a restaurant, the Drumbecue PRO adapts to all your cooking needs.
Drumbecue Pull-Out Fire Box
This innovation makes the Drumbecue PRO stand out. The pull-out fire box allows users to easily access the charcoal without having to open the main lid of the barbecue. This eliminates the need to lose heat and smoke when adding more charcoal, which is essential for maintaining consistent cooking temperatures. It also makes it easier to add charcoal during long cooking sessions, particularly when cooking low and slow. The fire box is made from heavy-duty steel, ensuring it can withstand the high temperatures needed for intense grilling or smoking.
Competition Thermostat
Equipped with a competition-grade thermostat, the Drumbecue PRO offers precise temperature control. This is crucial for professional-grade barbecuing, where maintaining consistent temperatures is necessary for perfect cooking, whether it’s smoking or grilling.
Side Resting Table & Compression Eyelet
The side resting table adds a convenient space for preparing ingredients, keeping tools handy, or simply resting your grilling utensils while cooking. The 8mm compression eyelet provides an easy connection for digital temperature probes, allowing chefs and cooks to monitor internal temperatures with accuracy and precision.
Air Damper for Control of Air Intake
Located on the left side, the air damper offers total control over the airflow, which directly impacts the cooking temperature. By adjusting the air intake, you can regulate the cooking environment for specific techniques like smoking or high-heat grilling. This level of control gives users the flexibility to tailor the cooking experience to their exact needs.
Safety Features
The Drumbecue PRO comes with several built-in safety features, including safety catch hinges, a charcoal pull-out drawer, and a lock-in system to ensure safe operation. These features are particularly important for professional chefs who need to use the barbecue in high-demand environments, such as catering or competitions.
No Assembly Required
The Drumbecue PRO is designed for immediate use with no assembly required. This feature is especially appreciated by professionals who need to get up and running quickly without wasting time on complicated setup processes.
