So here it is, the Banshee 725.

The aim was to retain the classic bones of an American offset, while still making the Banshee visually outrageous. Then load it with features, push the performance as far as we could and keep the price genuinely hard to beat at this scale.

Quick spec rundown: 5 metres long, deliberately overbuilt, with steel thicknesses running all the way up to 20mm, a huge ceramic fibre insulated firebox, near-weightless doors balanced by massive counterweights on bearings, our tuneable XL Dual-Flow system for hotspot and vertical heat control, four slide-out laser-cut grates, four calibratable Tel-Tru x Leviathan Pits gauges, and a folding chimney.

Fixed chassis versions start from £10,000 ex VAT, with all the bells and whistles included. At the customer’s request, this first build sits on an absolutely insane off-road chassis with four 730 mm all-terrain wheels.

Very grateful to have our good friend Keith Moon joining us to burn this beast in over the weekend.

Leviathan Pits USA is coming.

250 years later, the British are back, and we left the tea at home.

Happy 4th, America!

The rumors are true. We’re expanding operations into the US and opening a Kansas City, Missouri HQ and fabrication site to bring Leviathan Pits stateside. Designed in Britain and now also made in the US.

Which models are you most interested in seeing first? Let us know in the comments and drop a DM to https://www.instagram.com/leviathanpitsusa to register your interest.

Feast your eyes on this recently delivered, specced out Fractal 90.

This one has a new fixed counterweight option, developed by special request, whilst still keeping the folding stack setup for easy transport/storage.

Alongside the counterweight, this one features two internal charcoal baskets for quick midweek cooks, 600°C high-temp black paint with a linseed oil coating for extra weather resistance, a firebox searing grate, folding stainless shelf and, of course, the wild off-road chassis.

One of the meaner looking F90s to leave the HQ 😤

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

Keep your eyes peeled for some upcoming dates for various happenings throughout the year folks! 🔥🔥🔥

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.
