How has this held up? Has the heat from coals burned out the auger housing? I am thinking of doing the same but wondered if I should mount the burner under the firebox instead of inside. Any thoughts?
I was wondering why no companies have designed a pellet fueled offset smoker. This is exactly what I had thought up in my head. Nice work! Looks like you’ve worked through all the hurdles. I love my offset, makes awesome food. But I don’t always have time for it. Pellet grills are okay, but they leave a lot to be desired in a lot of aspects. And the hot spots suck. Looks like this is the best of everything!
Thanks! Yeah, I felt the same way. Love the off-set, but needed consistent heat source. Pellet fueled assistance was the answer for me. Works great. I use it all the time.
I'm not gonna lie this is exactly the stuff I love men hard at work Being men I wanted to burn pellet in my offset because pellets come in really good flavors. And mixes I do have those mats at home and I've used them in my barbecue to block all the holes when I used to use it for smoking Much appreciated this is fantastic & Great work Sincerely
As I watched this that old spoof on the Budweiser “Real men of genius commercials kicked in. Narrator: “This Buds for you mister manly man who fabricated a pellet assisted offset grill with a supercharger to properly smoke fatty meat and poultry.”
Very nice. Thinking about doing something similar with a vertical smoker I'm building. How about using the cooking grate in the fire box to sit wood splits on.
I scavenged the hopper, air box, auger, motor and control board from another pellet grill. I had to fab some brackets and supports. Pretty easy overall
@@Ozarkwild I guess the fab you are talking about is mounting system BUT...I am finding that every manufacturer has different length auger boxes. I notice yours is nicely in the middle. I just bought a used Traeger 34, 50.00 and a used Green Mountain grill, 40.00 both work when owners thought they didnt but Im finding that the auger lengths wont work without making a cradle to hold hopper assembly farther away from fire box. Not a big deal...But curious how yours fits perfect in the middle?
hey i did one of these
turned out awesome i used a grilling matt too. made a vid smoking is awesome

This is just what i was looking for. I have been fighting the same temperature spread and you have solved it. THANKS
So you’re just letting the charcoal sit to the side and not on the actual fire?

men hard at work
Being men
I wanted to burn pellet in my offset
because pellets come in really good flavors. And mixes

Much appreciated
this is fantastic

Thanks for watching!

That’s really funny! Thanks for watching (real men of genius!!).

(Late reply).. cooking grate would work for the wood, but have to be careful and not let the ash from wood fall down and clog the pellet fire pot
Did you fab the actual hopper or were you able to get lucky and repurposed something else?

Your a damn genius!
Well thank you!
After this, i want to put a pellet hopper in my offset
Find you an old used pellet grill off market place and you have all the parts you need. Just takes a little fabrication.

Cool work man but you can cause a back burn with all that ash. Like I’ve never seen so much ash in a Grill ever
The ash is from burning logs. I keep it in there for insulation for the firebox
Mann this is awesome !
Interesting but if you spent your money on a properly designed smoker to begin with you wouldn't have to bastardize it to maintain temps.
@@dontblameme6328 maybe you missed the ‘conversion’ point of the video. The smoker was never designed to run pellets
That is the dirtiest smoker I have ever seen. I’m surprised you have not had a major fire yet 🙄
Don’t confuse “dirty” with a well seasoned smoker
