It was time to give the Workhorse Pits 1975 Offset Smoker a good cleaning, including the grates and scraping down the interior of the cooking chambers as well as the firebox. This video shows every step of the process.

Cleanest dirty grill I’ve seen all week.
Thank you 👍🏽👍🏽
Good video. I line the bottom of my cooking chamber with thick, competition grade tinfoil. The day after a cook, if I’m not going to use it for a week or so, I just throw away the tinfoil and boom. Clean chamber. I clean the racks after every cook by filling up my wheelbarrow with hot soapy water. Takes a couple of minutes and the racks are spotless. I wouldn’t wash out a smoker on concrete. The grease and shit can stain. I keep mine in the shed as well so it’s never out in the weather so no rust issues. A clean smoker is a good smoker!
👍👍👍
Great video man! I have been looking on this smoker for a while now. As you said earlier, there is almost no videos on YT regarding these workhorse pits. I live in Norway, and these are the only ones that is "easily" available with this quality. Im looking at the 57, almost ready to pull the trigger on it. Its expensive over here, but think it will last a lifetime. Keep it up, I enjoy your videos :)
I believe workhorse pit sells in Norway ...yeah man by once and it will last you a lifetime your family will enjoy it after you’re gone.it’s worth worth every penny ...go for it man ..thank you for watching🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

You may want to move the unit so it is not on the slope but parallel to the house. You covered all the key points very good I will share this.
thats how its stored... I only move it when it's in use... thank you for the support.much appreciated
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great Job! I think I would get about 4@ 1/4” plates, drill them out to match the caster plates and put 2 at each caster so you don’t have to mess with a jack
I dont think you need to do that. my issue is (I think) my floors aren't even.but you can always play around with it
most pit builders have a raised piece of metal where the opening is by the firebox so you don't have to worry about grease flowing back into the firebox and you can also put water in the bottom of your cook chamber to use it as a water cooker.
I found a way to avoid the grease going into the firebox.. I put a jack under the fire box and raise it a little bit and everything goes in the drain.
Hello Backyard Warrior another great video. I’m waiting to hear from the company when my 1975 will be ready. Someone should start an owners club. I nominate you for president. Do you happen to remember what size the ball valve you got from Lowe’s was. Thanks for all the great content.
1 inch ...lol thank you for the love brother.I m honored 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍🏽👍🏽
Great video! I am way impressed with your fuel stacks too. Question for you. What do you think about just smearing some of the fat drippings from the cooks all over the inside the pit to season? Good idea or bad idea? Definitely would still do the burn after also. Keep up the good informational content.
yes ... that's how I seasoned it first with beef tallow. check this video out ua-cam.com/video/Ej25ngdf9No/v-deo.html it's better than pam or crisco or any other oil. thank you for watching
Hello, good videos with the Workhorse! What is the name and brand of the blue-colored 2 handed scrub-brush your using to scrub the grates? Thanks man keep up the good work!
FROM LOWE'S./.I BELIEVE ITS BLUE RHINO
Do you season the outside of the smoker when its hot, or when its cold and then cook it off?
when it's hot for touch ups
So you also sprayed the inside of the firebox? With canola oil?
you don't have to
@@BackyardWarrior Thanks for the reply, and great video.
What size was that ball valve and how did it work?
I.5 inch
Bad to the bone Backyard Warrior!
thank you
Do you leave the grease drain open during cooks? How’d the grease spill back into the firebox?
Great content btw. Really enjoy your videos. I have a 1969 on order so these are great to watch!! Thank you.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 ...I left it closed once and that accident happened usually it’s open ...I learn my lesson
Congrats on the 1969! When does your arrive?
Ordered the first week of February.
Production is due to start in May sometime.
@@seancashman2313 about right 3-4 months

If the smoker wasn’t tilting toward the firebox and the grease fire didn’t happen, what would you be your cleaning frequency? And have you thought about how to level your smoker now?
For deep cleaning ...I wouldn’t recommend it very often .but the grates and the grease in the bottom should be cleaned up every 2-3 cooks maybe ...it depends ..you just eyeball it ...and to level the smoker I’ll probably use a jack during the cook and make sure it’s still tilted towards the drain ...thank you for watching brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@BackyardWarrior thank you for the response!
@@HuSmokin anytime brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow, very nice pit, I am thinking about getting one but seeing this vid and your brisket cook vid I don’t know- it look pretty dang big, that firebox looks cavernous!! What size splits are you using and it looks like you use 1-2 per 45 minutes or so? I live in Utah and hardwoods (hickory, oak, pecan) is really expensive… I have an OC Brazos now and it’s pretty efficient with wood, but it’s smaller too.
I use 12-16 inch splits...yes the pit is big and efficient ...I used to cook on a pecos and I don't regret upgrading,
@@BackyardWarrior how much more wood do you use on the 1975 vs the Pecos per say a 6-8 hr cook? Also, which grate scraper tool is that? Looks like a good one and how does the smokestack connect is there a bolt or any kind of latch after you in fold it?
@@louisgriffin1785 I use more wood for the WH pit than the pecos just because of the size,WH fire box is huge and it can fir larger sticks.the grill scraper is from tjmax or Marshalls and has no name on it.the stack is bolted
@@BackyardWarrior thanks brother, you definitely have some good recipes and great looking que, appreciate you taking time out to answer….. I’m cooking a brisket and some ribs right now, ribs are about ready for a late dinner!
Does this offset burn evenly, does it have a hot spot near the fire box, ... can you do that biscuit test video?
it does have a hot spot and its in the back by the smoke stack.. not by much but upper grate is definitely hotter than bottom grate.overall if you dial it in good ..you will have even temps across the pit. you just have to play with fire box damper ,door and smoke stack .practice makes perfect
Good video it’s a good thing to keep up with the smoker being clean inside doesn’t take long for it to get down right just nasty and dangerous especially on a beautiful smoker like that last time I messaged you I told you I ordered in 1969 but realized for only 400 more dollars I immediately canceled the order and got a 1975 I just think it’s worth the extra room my question to you is I know that they put linseed Oil on the outside and bake it before they send it to you how often do you think you’re going to be doing that as a maintenance because the outside is just beautiful just thought I would ask because you had mentioned that there was a little bit of rust starting on the firebox thanks
it was a tiny spot on the fire box... I keep mine covered ..so rust will be minimal
and good thing you went with 1975.i had the same mind set when I was ordering 400$ and get a monster of smoker
@@BackyardWarrior I thought about the 1975 too but I think the 1969 will fit better in the spot I am choosing for our patio. Only option for easiest access would be to load and build the fire from the cowboy grill opening in the front if I went with the 1975. Do you ever do that vs loading from the side? And do you use the damper much?
@@raadkins16 it’s doable..but you’ll loose a lot of degrees loading from the front. I start the fire like that and feed it through the door afterwards
Have you had to touch up this cooker with linseed oil yet? That would make for an interesting video
definitely ...but I think its still early for that
I heard you mention you don't use the top rack often. I ordered mine without it because I don't think I'll need it (so much room). Also, the extra temp guages on top I think will just make my goal to get even Temps more complicated... more simple I guess. In one of JD/WH videos it says it cooks better with 1 rack only too. What do you think? Should I upgrade for any reason I'm over looking?
If you only cooking for your family ...you don't really need it... plenty room on the main rack.i did it just to get the whole package.
@@BackyardWarrior thank you! The only convincing reason to get the top rack for me is if I ever have to sell it. Opens up the market to caterers, etc.
@@mikerein5854 I m sure resell value is good …seeing that steel is only going up 💰💰💰

Cool video man. What kind of wood do you use.
All I have is live oak...would love some premium wood (pecan,cherry or citrus) $$$$ .. thank you for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@BackyardWarrior I know a guy in Lakeland that has seasoned cherry and pecan wood. I got a truck bed full of pecan for $40. Let me know if your interested I can give you his info.
@@philb2054 yes why not,,,thank you
@@BackyardWarrior I have the number how would you like for me to give it to you. I don’t want to put his number on here.
Did you use the pam in the outside of the cooker or something else. I’ve heard that pam makes it sticky.
Yes inside and outside ..and you’re right it’s a little bit sticky but it dries out with time..thank you for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Are you going to do a video applying linseed oil to the exterior? I believe they recommend applying that a couple times a year as regular maintenance.
Why didn't pour a little Dawn in with your hot water to pull up the grease?
I wanted to preserve the seasoning that started to build up in the belly... thank you for watching
How do you get rid of the grease?
Put in tight plastic bag and in the garbage...thank you for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video. I'm hoping to get a Workhorse one day. Sorry for a weird question, but how tall are you? I'm asking to get a better reference to the overall size of the 1975.
Lol...5’9. Thank you for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽
What size is the ball valve?
I believe it's 1 inch
How often do u add wood?
30-45 minutes
Thanks for the feed back bro. Great videos BTW.
Where are you located?
Central Florida
Yeah houses seemed familiar lol. Im in lithia. Great videos man!!! Learning a lot from you and getting the same pit soon!!! Keep it up!!
@@yaxelcastaneda5993 any time 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
