BBQ Pits Smoker Builds! Extra Tall! Heavy Duty Pit BBQ's
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2021
- I built two BBQ pit smokers in this video. The guy wanted them extra tall with more standoff between the coal bed and the cooking grates. He's interested in live fire cooking so these will work perfect him! Build details are below. Enjoy! Nick

They look great! Nicely done.
Awesome project!
Great builds!
As a 6’3” man I can appreciate the tall cookers, build quality looks awesome, I really like the new lid design.
Good luck on the brewery.
Thank you!
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 Hello, what are the direct fire cooker prices please, i'm very interested
Love the sound of a fine tuned mig gun, ole angry bumble be
Cool build!!!
Great build. You're a talented guy.👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice!
Thanks Allen! Means a lot coming from you. I've been watching your channel for years. Looking forward to seeing the new shop in action! Nick
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 arnt we all 😂😂
@@SD-rq2ob Yessir!
Great job love your work thanks for sharing
Glad you like it!
Another great build video brother! Have been anticipating a new vid for awhile. Two more awesome Judas Pits direct heat smokers!
The Judas Pits!! Still a solid naming suggestion. Appreciate you watching. Thanks again
Bad azz work!!! 💯
Thank you!
Great job
Thanks!
Good idea with the ventilation, (fan), 👍🏼👍🏼
It helped a ton!
Great video, hope you get some time to film some more projects.
Thank you
Another quality build video! 👌 how's the brew business going? Looking forward to a new video brother! 🔥🔥
Uuuuh looks really nice. I like them better than your first one. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you!
Hi It’s very nice how many brisket can feet
Also in Minnesota, and would love to see some of your prices. Would love to purchase a chud box replica.
Hit me up at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com to discuss pit prices and availability please. Thank you
Whats up buddy! Just found you!
I really wish you explained more what you're doing, what tools you're using, describe techniques, things to watch out for, etc. I know nothing about welding or fabricating in general. I'd love to learn though.
Legit feedback Dude. I'm planning on doing voice overs again so I can thoroughly explain what's going on in the video. Less talking on camera. Should be much more efficient and result in shorter videos as well. I appreciate the input!
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 voice overs would be great! Keep it up man, I'll be following to see future builds. Good luck!
Chudd box look alikes.
Excellent build amigo. I see you are wearing Army shorts. Any chance you are a fellow Army welder? I graduated from the U.S. Army Metal Working course in the mid 90s and have been welding and fabricating ever since!
Thanks James! Not a welder in the Army. 11B. About to retire out of the MN Army national guard here in November with 20 years. The Army Metal Working course sounds cool and I'm sure it was a blast! Thanks for your service
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 Right on man! Congrats on the retirement. I retired in 16 from the Army. I reclassed from a 44B Metal Worker to 11B after my first enlistment. Only way to get promoted. Great builds man!
@@jamesroyal11 Awesome! Thanks again
How much for one of these?
Very clean job. I don't know if I'm a fan of the design though. It seems like a great deal of wasted space not being able to lower the rack. Even if you could, it would be difficult to dig your meat out since it's so high. I'm 6'4".
I hear you JeyJey. This was a specific build per customer specs. He was more interested in live fire cooking than the standard charcoal cooking done in these designs, and is why he wanted that larger standoff between the cooking grate and coal bed. I personally would like it shorter as well, but I think he'll enjoy dialing in these units. In hind sight adding a charcoal basket/rack and having multiple levels the charcoal basket/rack could slide into would've been nice. Basically bring the coals to the meat instead of the meat to the coals. Thanks for watching!
I want to build one, but I don't think my mig can handle 3/16th. I may have to use 12guage steel max thickness for everything. I have an FC90 also, but I don't think its practical for this big of a job. What Mig welder you used? Also, was it on 240?
I have a Yeswelder Mig welder running 240VAC. I think your Mig welder could work for thicker metals but would have to do multiple passes on each weld. If you need to use thinner metals you can still build a nice cooker. 11ga is pretty common. Good luck!
FabMakeBuildCook - I have been thinking about making one of these or having someone make it. I want a little different though - I'd like one where you could have a Turkey on the rack standing up on a "Beer Can Style Holder" I use them on a Masterbuilt I have. I put the bird on the holder but have it sitting on a rack over cookie sheet just so it doesn't get hit hard if it flamed up without cookie sheet. I haven't measured to see how tall that actually is but that could be a great design for you to build one. I wanted a 36" wide x 24" deep. Thicker steel / possibly insulated since I am from Wisconsin. I wonder if it would help if you put taller stacks on top of these - help them really draw air.
Interesting concept. A big turkey could easily be 15" tall if put on a beer can (If not taller). Could make the lid a bit taller to accommodate and not mess with the standoff distance from the coal bed to the cooking grate. Taller stacks could help with draw. Almost thinking a vertical cabinet would be the way to go since you can have the cooking grates on different levels from the coal bed. That would be interesting. Hit me up on instagram if you have that platform and I'll share a pic of a 36" x 24" vertical cabinet I did last year for reference. @fabmakebuildcook
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 - I like the idea over cooking over the coals ( wood & charcoal ) I would think it would add a much better flavor than just the typical firebox on the side of a cooker. Also I like the fact that you can have rack 17" above coals as well - Shouldn't be able to really burn the meat like it can on say just a Weber grill. Don't have Instagram - Maybe one of these days. Do a video showing your 36" x 24" Like to see that. Just found your channel last night, glad I did/ New subscriber. Good luck on the Buch as well.
@@stenny1970 Thanks again Dave. I am going to post that vertical cabinet smoker build hopefully in the next two weeks. Hope you like it
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 - Looking forward to it.
Looks like a Chud box and mini Chud box.
Yup Brad was the inspiration for these builds. If you haven't cooked on one yet I'd highly recommend!
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 yeah, I’ve been looking at them. They are just a little pricey.
@@VincentTactical they do cost a bit. More than some, less than others. All about what you want and are willing to pay for. Much less expensive to get a Weber kettle and master that.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 for sure. I’ve got 2 BGE’s and have a workhorse 1975 on order.
@@VincentTactical Damn that's quite the setup you'll have! Big green egg is basically a direct heat bbq pit, so I think you're covered.
hey nick what welders are you using?
Hey Guy,
In this video I was using my YesWelder Mig205DS for wire feed, and my YesWelder 165 stick welder.
I'm down here by Mankato. Where can order one plus a MN shape coal rake?😄
hit me up at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com or dm me on instagram. @fabmakebuildcook
Where did you get those heavy duty framing squares?
I got them from weldtables.com
Certiflat makes them. Pretty nice to work with
Fab
The other day I threw a complament at You now I have a question for You well couple of them . . What would a couple of them 24"X36" chud Boxs cost one for My Brother and My Self .
Hey Lucky. Email me at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com for cooker inquiries please. Thank you sir
Me lo mandi in Italia??
You think these could be run as smokers if you put a brick layered rack in the middle with no bricks on one side? The brick layer should theoretically insulate the 'cooking chamber' from the direct heat and the opening on one side should allow heat and smoke to go up. It'd be great to have just one smoker/grill that you can easily configure to match your needs for the day.
Hey dude. Yeah you could use a deflector plate or row of bricks to block the direct radiant heat. I don't think you'd get a similar draft as an offset smoker but could be useful for longer low-and-slow cooks.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 if only there was a skilled fabricator and content creator who could run an experiment and compare results 😉
@@nevereverbeendonebefore Touche' and well played :)
Peach Ginger Lime BUCH ?
That one was grapefruit ginger
Funny. I clearly remember you saying you weren't selling Chud boxes. You're even using Bradley's patented door lock.
These aren't Chudboxes. Similar but different. It's a cheap 3" steel gusset I can buy premade from my metal supplier. Cut two notches in it and you're done. The second notch is only intended to be used if you have a ridiculously large fire in the box and don't want it to starve for oxygen. The air intake vents are what will primarily be used for intake controls. Thanks for watching
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 I won't be watching anymore. I unsubscribed.
@@boomerbbq4444 Sorry to hear that. Take care
What a ridiculous assertion. Considering Bradley has stopped building these right now and getting one is impossible and he has videos on how to make these, is it any surprise someone would go elsewhere to buy one?
@@epickleuva Yeah I was a bit surprised myself. Brad popularized a great product and showed people the versatility of direct heat bbq. Naturally there's a demand for these now. He's doing his best to keep up but they do take some time to build. I can't imagine me building a similar product at such low scale could ever hurt Chuds BBQ, especially since I shout his out during the build videos.
How does someone go about contacting to have one of these built?
Hey James,

Is your plasma cutter by yes welder? and how thick of steel are you cutting?
Yup it's a Yeswelder Cut55DS. The metal is 3/16" thick (7ga).
Thanks for replying back have you tried cutting 1/4" plate? If so had it do? And last are you using 110 or 220 volts?
@@davek3726 No problem. I've cut 1/2" plate with it and it worked just fine. Your cut rate slows down but it's still a clean cut. I use this on 220VAC. Never tried on 120VAC.
Thanks for all your replies back it helps me with my purchasing decisions looking forward for your next post
What size air compressor do you use to on your plasma cutter?
Any new videos coming?
Yeah I should be having one out here in the next month or so. I know it's been way too long since the last one. Thanks for keeping me on my toes :)
How do I order one?

FDrom what I can see (camera is very shaky), these are not pits and re not smokers. If I could cee inside them better, I might change my mind and accept your terms.
Fair enough. I'll do better on the camera stability next video
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 don’t appease the trolls.
THIS IS A DESIGN MADE BY BRADLEY ROBINSON FROM CHUDS BBQ UA-cam CHANNEL. BRO BE ORIGINAL WITH YOUR DESIGN NOT A HACK.
Yeah his pits are the inspiration for sure. I've shouted him out many times. I have also modified mine to be different. Not necessarily better, but different.
