I love all the little features that large grill manufacturers don't think about. The notch system for the firebox door (although you might want to cut the sharp point off of that thing), the little pegs to hold a water pan, the grill on top of the firebox, the extended handle for the stack, etc. You can tell just by looking at it that a true long-time enthusiast took pride in designing it.
thought the same thing re " (although you might want to cut the sharp point off of that thing) " then at 7:25 I thought " Laceration time!" as he picks up the box and nearly drives the pike deep into his bicep.
This was a joy to watch! Great ideas. I've got a 250 gallon old fuel tank and a 75 gallon round tank. You gave me the perfect setup and ideas. THANK YOU FOR THIS VID!!!!
That's a damn good idea with the V shape in the firebox I like that a lot. you could actually put some grading across the bottom and it'll give it air flow when the logs breakdown in fall to the bottom.
Your husband is likely going to say this guy needs to wear some sleeves if he doesn't want skin cancer. Agreed that it's a cool project though. I'd personally fully insulate the firebox so you have to burn less wood and keep the temperatures more stable.
@@BitsOfInterest there are pros and cons to San insulated fire box. Insulated fire box won’t produce as much smoker and tends to run hotter. Insulated will definitely help out in cold environments.
Great video! A couple things you might want to do is cut the sharp point off the adjustable firebox system. Something I was told when I started welding many years ago no sharp corners round them off. It saves blood, Doctors bills, time off work. Also convert from flux core wire to gas it doesn't take much. The savings on grinding disk will pay for the conversion. Maybe a clean out door on the bottom of the fire box to aid in cleaning out the ashes.
Nice job on this video and your smoker build. This is the best condensed timeline video of how these things can be built that I've seen yet. Kudos to you man!
Thank you very much for inspiring me to have a go and make my own bbq. New to welding and keep coming back to this video. Thank you again man. Much love from Australia.
I would like to see a video on what the pros and cons are on the pipe style smoker and the tank style smoker. Looking at building my own larger patio style smoker for the home and have been considering a 250 gallon tank style but would love to see a true comparison. Thanks! And keep up with the great videos. One of my favorite bbq channels all together and definitely my favorite “newer channel” by far!
@@kirkchatwin6160 He's not wrong. If you want steel shipped to you, you're going to pay an arm and a leg. You are pretty much bound to whatever your local steel yard offers in pricing. Figure out what lengths/pieces you need and call your local steel yards to get a quote.
Fantastic build my friend. You've got some skills. I love building smokers and grills. I built a 48x24 octagon offset smoker a few years ago and I love cooking on it. I never did paint it so now it has a light coating of rust on it and I've been thinking about wire brushing it and seasoning it like you did. I really like your video and your personality so I think I'll subscribe to your channel. Have a great New Year.
That's about the coolest video I have ever seen. I'm not joking. If you knew my Brothers and I, you would know I'm being sincere. There is nothing better than a bad-a$$ smoker/grill, and watching you build one was a thrill. I'm a new subscriber now.
Amazing content. After watching the entire video I feel like I can build my own smoker too! You make it look easy. Time to get meself a welding machine.
This was an amazing video. Question on the charcoal grill though. Since ash traps moisture and therefore you need to remove the ash the day after a cook on the charcoal grill...are you more/less forced to use a shop vac to clean the ash?
Dear lord tiny baby Jesus, I'm so damn happy that you're in Austin Texas! That smoker is the shiznit and I want one. I'd feel much better, you making it than me. I'm worried all my welds would just pop right off.. hehe. Cash buyer! :)
Recently purchased a BGE and discovered this channel while looking for recipes. Absolutely love it, and just ordered a T-shirt to prove it. Keep the content coming!
I’ve got a great idea. On top of the fire box you weld a piece of round tubing, then make the top portion of the tortilla press but with a rod that comes out of the back and turns and fits into the tubing to act as a hinge. Then you could use that flat top as a tortilla press when you want or take it out when you want to use it for charcoal. It’d be a cool accessory.
Love your Smoker build! Wondering how you determine how large/high/low you put the firebox and the cutout onto the pit itself? Is it a standard measurement or different by the size of the cooker? Do you ever add a damper to kill the fire when you are finished cooking,?
Love this video but man that firebox door latch catch scares me. I can't imagine the amount of blood when some drunk idiot falls into that sharp point.
@@kiotewolfer3278 That's not a normal human thought. Have you seen war before? May need to get a psychologically evaluation tbh. Perhaps you have PTSD, perhaps you're just evil.
Wow you be gotten talent!! I built your brisket recipe (foil boat) today and it was awesome. Now I come to find that you have fabricator skills. I love dis stick burner!!
I use an old towel and soak it in some sunflower oil or grape seed oil and wipe my smoker down inside and out before each use. Has a great shine to it , no rust and looks/works great.
The fact you did this with a flux core welder is blowing my mind. Granted you have a nice model, but you have some TALENT! Oh and what an eye for design! I have a smoker in my garage that I chopped up with the vision of it looking like this. About to toss on my shop clothes and get that sucker finished!
Even though I’m not an offset smoker guy I’ve been wanting to build my own for several years and try it. I have the exact welder too! My issue is still the money for the materials but mostly finding the materials. More specifically something for the main body.
This was super impressive. Love seeing craftsmanship. Had no idea you could weld! You could honestly make a little business selling hand built smokers for your subscribers. I’m sure you could get some good business for some of your down time
Grab yourself a cheap plasma cutter even just for the chimney cut-outs Brad - more easiers, mo betta. I built a small 20 gallon charcoal burner so I can make my own charcoal for barbeque - the flavour is totally different than the bought stuff - everyone notices the "best flavour" a pure natural hardwood coal imparts.
You nailed it, dude. No fancy gimmicks. Just neat, clean, practical, and efficient design. This is the best DIY smoker on youtube. Keep rocking.
Had to go back and watch the first Chuds video. I’ve enjoyed watching these older videos.

I don't know if your better at building smokers or filming and editing videos. 🤯
Amazing job on both!
I really love that smoker would you make them for sale also???
Built the WHOLE thing with an Angle Grinder AMAZING great work mate.
I'd love to hear the difference between pipe vs tank smokers. Never seen it covered on a video before.
He ever do a video with this comparison?
@@Frank6289 not that I've seen
On his q and a he kind of goes over the difference between the 2 its not a full on comparison but touches on it briefly
Ok pipe is round sides a flat steel . Tank a little heavyer .pro pain. Thats about it .
@@LUCKYB. wut
Great construction!
6:46 Great leg killer too!!
Thanks for sharing to us!
I love everything about this video! Especially the fact that I can show it to my welder/sheetmetal worker husband and get him to make me one!

That grill part on the right side is so clever!
Magnificent! Great that the video didn't have any music, much more interesting!
It's like you took everything that we wished smokers HAD and brought it to life!!!! Thanks!!!!
Thank you very much for inspiring me to have a go and make my own bbq. New to welding and keep coming back to this video. Thank you again man. Much love from Australia.

Do you sell them?
i would love to see another smoker build, great job!!
I don't remotely have these skills, but it was satisfying to watch to see where the @ChuddsBBQ channel came from 🍻
Damn brother that’s one good looking smoker you got some talent oh if I had money I’d pay you to build me one bro
That grill on the side is a game changer. Good way to warm up tortillas while the brisket is going. Awesome build.
How much did all of the steel cost? also where did you buy it?

Look at how far he has come lol..this clip was a clasic
Chud, this is awesome. Built one myself but now I have to do it again, but better. Stealing a few ideas tough.

Awesome work brother. And you had me rollin!😂😂 very cool stuff. I’m now subscribed!!
Smokin', wish we could get pits like this in Australia...awsome.
Dang, after watching this build I've got to cut a raw potato to put on each eye lol.
😂
Pretty badass, comes with all the bells and whistles too. Even a firebox face impaler. 😎
Your channel is so unique cooking and welding - fabricating

That is the kind of video you watch very satisfied knowing that the video thumbnail isn't a click bait, he was talking serious when wrote Texas Style
May be overkill, but I’d love to see a double walled/insulated barrel build!
Check u tube
Impressive. So much so you've talked me out of tryin to build one myself. Definitely justifies the costs of great pits. Excellent job!
Man ... Can I get a diagram with written instructions?! This is good!!!🛠️ Tell me where to go to purchase the build instructions man!
Very impressive, I bet your neighbors love you 😀
Love this video but man that firebox door latch catch scares me. I can't imagine the amount of blood when some drunk idiot falls into that sharp point.
It worries me to, nailing your skin on that!! hasn't happened yet tho!
Some drink idiot gets that close to my fire and he might just get pushed into that latch

I think that guy becomes really sad when he see people grilling sausage and hamburger and calling it bbq haha

Brilliant Design, love the adjustable door notches.
Pappa Chud, tank yuh boss, well put together unit dat yuh build. Customer will be well satisfied.
Awesome build. There nothing more I can say that you haven't heard already, just wanted to let you know I appreciate the build.
A smoker you gotta treat like a cast iron skillet...im in love...
What a great video. Your crafting skills match your smoking skills! It was a pleasure to watch this. I learned a ton...thanks
You are the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent video!
Great looking Pit and craftsmanship. I'd like to see you cook on it.
that's a dream for me to make an offset smoker myself. craftsmanship what you delivered there. very nice. greetings from the Netherlands
I'm impressed at your ability to cut a circle with an angle grinder. Mine wouldn't come out that good with a plasma cutter.
We need more of these kind if videos bro!
Sheer Artistry! That was Beautiful and very inspiring. I have an old grill and I've been meaning to convert it. This was my wake up call.
Best pit I've seen so far
This video makes me want to learn how to weld!!! Nice work!
I love watching you. So entertaining, and great cooking techniques
Dude your craftsmanship is art!
A heavy duty well-made bbq smoker or pit is the best purchase you can buy. It will last forever and never let you down.
That is one BadAss rig! Really liked the V bottom in the fire box. Keep em’ coming!
That's a beautiful pit. Love the charcoal grill on top of the firebox as well.
Dude's got a 3rd gen 4 runner. I like this man a lot more now 😆
After I finish building a trailer smoker, I will definitely build me one some wut like yours, thanks for ALL the videos, 👍🏼👍🏼
Yeeeeeeah... Talo. I bet the smoker smells delicious.
I also use a V configuration in my firebox. but made out of diamond heavy gauge grate
Great job Bradley!
Awesome build. Love to see it painted
This was super impressive. Love seeing craftsmanship. Had no idea you could weld! You could honestly make a little business selling hand built smokers for your subscribers. I’m sure you could get some good business for some of your down time

That was a real pleasure watching that smoker build. Killer looking!
That thing is so badass
Dude just isn't nasty cook but builds them too! Wish you were my neighbor!
Man this was so cool!
Wish I could build this myself or find one like this in the UK.
Bravo!
