Installation and Operation Instructions 

Stone Age Big Pig™ and Little Pig™ Smoker Ovens

 

1.0 Introduction  

The following provides instructions for the installa-
tion and operation care of Stone Age Big Pig™ and 
Little Pig™ (SA-SM-BP8 and SA-SM-LP6) 
Smoker Ovens, manufactured by Stone Age Manu-
facturing, Collinsville, Oklahoma. 

Three generations of wood-burning masonry con-
struction experience have gone into the design and 
construction of these smoker oven kits.  A com-
pleted Little Pig oven, finished in natural stone, is 
shown in Figure 1. 

Stone Age smokers are unique in that they are the 
only masonry/metal smoker units which can be 
covered in the same masonry finish material as the 
rest of your outdoor kitchen.

The key differences between the Big Pig™ and 
Little Pig™ ovens are their size and weight.  Table 
1 shows the weights of the two Smokers.
