Just made my own. Found a thick tank and thick furnace firebox. Into it for $500 bucks for chimney and the cart parts. Made it very similar but little longer Almost free

Cost on that pit material only is around $1250.

Pellet smokers are for girls........

I'd bet my next pay check you can't !

I'll bet you all the money you have that you can't....

$4,250 (not shipped). But FFFFFFF damn, Goldee's is a gorgeous looking cooker.

😂 I did just that.

@@roospike Chances are it doesn't distribute heat properly and the Temp gage is in the wrong place !

@@Charles53412 The Temp gauge placement is a farce!!! You can say this and that about the temp gauge place. All you need to know is how your smoker acts at what temp, with it's specific gauge placement. I mean, after all, Aaron has changed is gauge placement over the years, so who's to say, he has it right?

Dang $5150 is lowered price? It looks nice and all, but sheeeesh. For 5K you’d think it’d at least have a top rack, log starter, or something. I mean this thing is really just a bare bones offset pipe smoker.

That would be wrong !

Chances are it isn't as good and the fact you probably made it out of all the same gage metal like 99.99% of the home builders do, which is a improper way to build them. Temp gage placement is key too, which everyone over looks and places in the wrong spot. Not counting the proper size stack to burn a good clean fire.

​@@Charles53412 I used Feldman's online smoker builder calculator. I built a reverse flow cabinet smoker that would put these to shame. I took community college welding classes but am self taught as a fabricator and in FCAW as well as MiG. No issue in using same gauge throughout build. You have no idea what you are talking about. He put the grease cup on the wrong side and his temp gauge placement is incorrect, in my world. Should have four gauges at rack height. Keep smiling, ignorance is bliss. I'm a doer and I get shit done, unlike you.

The Volunteer, the TMG pit most identical to Franklin's, begins at $4,500 for a 52" long cooking chamber. TMG also sells a bacon press for $50, and burger press for $40, and a charcoal chimney for $100... OH! And a $200 tortilla press.

😜

Van Halen's music studio...

Well with the price materials and labor, plus the fact it's built properly and Franklin ships them free anywhere in the U.S. Really isn't to much at all !

I’m looking at the same exact smoker. Such a better value.

Beautiful smoker, and congrats to the people who can afford one. I'm sure it's going to be a awesome. ...I can't afford Franklin's beast, so happily it'll be getting a "Pits by JJ".

ok please answer me two questions. first how much money is it in just material? second. how many hours to build one.

​@Rob H find out the type of steel and gauge, call a local steel supplier and you will see. It varies from supplier to suppliers. Most fabrication shops have accounts with material suppliers and get it much cheaper then the general public. Other then the price it is a good looking smoker to bad there not priced for the common man, but at least there made here in the mother land 🇺🇸

Pits of this quality all go around this price. Some a little less, some a little more

@@RodStiffinton Aaron Franklins burner account. I have a Lone Star Grillzs 20x42 and it now retails for $2,400. Awesome backyard pit. I just bought a Primitive Pits 500g. Their 500’s on skids start at $6,800, only $1,700 more. The Franklin, Moberg, and MillScale 94 are priced very high, because they have a name and there are lots of people who pay for names and reputations. Not saying it’s right or wrong. Shit, they can charge $10,000 for all I care, but they are respectfully expensive.

@@thesailingtourists Well, you can get a 100 gal, 250 gal. or 500 gal. propane tank for $100 or even free. That's the biggest expense of his smoker. $225 dollar stick welder (and that's a good Lincoln cracker box) and $50 in welding rod. $100 for a DeWalt or Milwaukee grinder. $50 for cutoff and grinding wheels. $200 for supplies (welding gloves, hood, etc), and that is over kill. Get some scrap pipe say $100. Just add in $500 for extra material, and there you go. $1325, and now you have a home project. Most of those number are higher than what it would actually be, and on top of that, you now have tools to use for other things!!! (Most men worth their weight, have most of these tools anyway.)

Far better pit than these!

I got a WH 1975 wagon package DELIVERED to my house for under 5k.

@@DyaTrill Great pit.

He’s the Godfather of bbq, so he needs to get paid.

Franklin name alone costs $1750 per pit.

@@steveludwig4200 damn!

@@brandonin_ny - I hope that's sarcasm. My meter seems to be broken. LOL

You're paying for both. It can be both a quality pit, and you're also paying for the name.

Well yeah, because this is pure greed charging the prices he does. Flat out horrible.

Yep, they complain about everything being made in China, then they drive to Walmart to do their shopping - where everything is made in China.

You can get very good quality hand mad Pitts in Tx a lot less than this

So what's your guess on supplies, labor, overhead, and profit?

Exactly!! Americans can't afford American! Or they're always bashing the price! I can do it cheaper, yada, yada,yada...
