A probably 15 year old CharGriller with the firebox added on a few years after getting it. No clue what model but definitely the lower end of the spectrum.

That said, I've made some very impressive briskets on it. But I may have unknowingly worked harder to get the end result which is why I'm thinking an upgraded pit is the way to go this time since mine has seen a few too many seasons of Seattle snow and Texas sun.
