Leviathan Pits x Ember, 2026.

This summer we’re heading out with James Peck and the team at Ember for a season of epic live-fire cooking across the UK.

We’ll have a whole armada of kit out with us, from smokers to live fire units, with Ember cooking the way they do at the restaurant: serious plates, big flavour and the kind of techniques that push live fire cooking to another level.

Come and meet the teams, see the pits in person...and come hungry

We’re incredibly excited to welcome Ashley Tunley to team Leviathan as a brand ambassador.

Ashley is the head pitmaster behind Big Smoke BBQ and The Beefy BBQ with The Beefy Boys. If you saw the recent OnlyScrans video on Texas style BBQ in Hereford, you’ll understand why this felt like such a natural fit.

He’ll be bringing a whole host of pit knowledge into the Leviathan community through cooks, classes and straight answers for anyone wanting to learn more about the nuances of craft barbecue.

For any questions about his setup, his cooking, or getting on one of his next classes, please give him a follow at Big Smoke BBQ

You can also come and see Ashley cooking with us at Meat Up Festival on the 2nd of August, with lots more events planned throughout the year.

Well this was a fun project!

When a customer gives you free rein to Mad Max-ify their pit, asks for something truly unhinged, and doesn’t want to see a thing until delivery day…you don’t say no!

This absolute beast weighs just shy of a metric tonne after all of the insane embellishment work. Truly beyond the Thunderdome man 😤🔥🔥🔥

Evening all, just a quick little vid of James Peck and a couple of the guys from Ember taking the Element and the upcoming Arcadian Pro for a spin at a private event 👀

A few other updates:

Watch this space for the specs, features and options of the upcoming countertop / garden variant of the Arcadian. A lucky few of you might already have had a whirl on an early demo unit at Millington Hall Farm along with the absolutely wild futuristic camo Dreadnought below.

You can check them both out on 25 April at the Big Community Cookout, and then again on the 2nd-3rd of May at Fields to Fork Festival where we'll be cooking up an absolute storm!

And if you can’t make it, don’t worry. The Dreadnought will be heading to North Outdoor Living and BBQ showroom afterwards for a whole host of exciting classes and demos throughout the year.

Check out our new bespoke fire pit, it’s an absolute work of art and we couldn’t be more impressed with the build, this has taken Ember to the next level, we have so much more room to play on and we are so excited to show it off!

Check out if you haven’t already!

Evening all. So we've got some BIG things in the works this year and thought we'd keep everyone in the loop & open up the floor for some discussion.

1. A balls-to-the-wall 1000 gallon offset is going ahead for April/May based loosely on our Chimera 350 commercial pit (pictured). Keep your eyes peeled as we're throwing caution to the wind on this one!

2. We're about 75% of the way through the initial design phase of a very price accessible (yet awesome) more traditionally styled 725 gallon offset. If this sounds like something you're in the market for please do reach out as the more we can produce at a time the lower we can set the price point.

3. Multiple festivals and events this year - we'll get another post up once the final list is confirmed. If anyone would like to tag along for a day and hang out with the crew, cook up some awesome food with us we'd love to have you!

4. Murica' 🦅🇺🇸 (can't say too much about this just yet 👀)

5. December & January have been absolutely wild order wise (thank you all!) so if you're in need of a pit sooner rather than later, please do get in touch as lead times are extending rapidly (about 8-10 weeks at the moment).

And lastly we'd love to hear from you guys - the products that we produce are an extension of what we personally value and consider to be the best, but obviously there'll be design choices that might not resonate with everyone. So drop us some feedback, is there anything you'd like to see done differently, or you wish existed?

So I guess we're in the knife game now...with HandFab producing us quite possibly the most OTT specced set of knives ever.

Copper Damascus clad San Mai steel with an 80crv2 core. The handles are stabilised spalted guava with white and black G10 scales.

The blade length of the brisket slicer comes in at 300mm long and the Bunka at 180mm.

We'll be designing a few more sets and configurations going forward, but for now these beauties will have to do 😎

Arcadian: Off-road edition.

Yep, don't think we need to say too much else about this - just witness it in all its Mad Max-esque glory 😤

This absolute unit is off to its new owner in Maldon. However, if you're at the North Outdoor Living and BBQ live fire demo tomorrow (the 13th) in Aylesford, keep your eyes peeled. This beast is on the same convoy as the brand new off-road Fractal 90 we're delivering to the North BBQ showroom.

Finally ready for your end game pit? Share your ideas with us, we'll make it happen: https://www.leviathanpits.com/

Dreadnought No.2, or “The Hulk” as it’s become known around the HQ.

I don’t think this one could have been specced out any further by Lee at Pit Gangsta's Texas BBQ

- Two-tone high temperature paint: gloss Kawasaki green body with a gloss black chassis

- Triple grate levels

- Now with self-driving abilities, thanks to a set of electric caravan movers on the rear wheels

We are about this close to building an actual tank at this point! (for the sake of the fabrication team’s sanity, please don’t ask).

Far from the bracing shores of North Wales, it’s currently on its way to bake in the Spanish sun. Enjoy it, Lee 🙂
