Just one person's opinion. The setup and Chamber design are Just older classic Joe Davidson design from The Oklahoma Joes Smoker company. The fact you put your time into it and With the Your Father to me makes it Just over the top. Great Build and Time well spent with your Dad.
I am a welder of 30 some years and I am thrilled that you stick welded the smoker, makes it maleable as the smoker is not stationary when it is used, heat will cause it to expand and contract, therefore using ARC welding will prolong the life of the smoker, great job guys 👦 👍 👏
I really enjoyed this video. I’ve seen the big names build them and so far this one wins the detail and measurement award. If I would just complain about 1 thing it would be no thermometer reader. 3k sounds fair
I checked offer up to see if any smokers were around my area like this one and looks like youre a few miles away from me. What a small world haha. Good job!
Awesome build. Like the "trim" to create a seal around the firebox door, but don't think it's necessary with the door being open for air flow. I did have a few suggestions: - I would ditch the heat deflector plate as that will disrupt the arc of smoke. - I would also add a thermometer to the cooking chamber, especially at grate level. - What about an expanded metal wall around the storage shelf? Then the wood splits wouldn't fall down. Overall, great job guys. Super cool to see a well thought out, heavy duty smoker.
Love it! You guys are freaking awesome. I commented on your last build about making the firebox floor flush with the door wall for easy ash removal and you guys nailed it!!! Perfect smoker
I wuz wondering wen y'all were gonna do another video, great build, love it, my dad and I jus finished building a pit also, keep them videos coming, 👍🏼👍🏼, oh yeah it's worth 3K.
This is awesome but I wish you guys would have just bolted the casters in. This offset will last forever but the casters unfortunately will not. Awesome job though!
My son and I are talking about doing a DIY smoker with a 250 gallon tank he has. How many hours do you guys have in this project. Helps us plan out timelines.
Great looking smoker and very skilled welding. Looking to build my own. Did you calculate relationship of fire box volume to cook chamber volume and stack volume for airflow and draw or was it a gut feeling kind of thing. Hope mine looks and cooks as well as yours. Cheers
@@fathersondiygarage3580 may I ask two other questions because I’m going to try this y’all have inspired me and I never welded in my life but what kind of pipe do y’all use? And when I’m welding what settings do I need to have it on? I’m going to get 230V 25A- 130A Handler 125 Wire Feed Welder it’s on tractor supply website for like 499$ do you think it will weld a offset together ?
how long did it take to cut out the smoker doors and how many cutting wheels did you go through? I'm think of makin a smoker myself soon and the pipes I can find are all 3/8 in thick and I don't think its realistic for me to get a torch or plasma cutter for one build.
@@fathersondiygarage3580 One last question, what brand of cut off wheel did you use? Don't really know which brand so I was plannin just to get the harbor frieght ones. Heard they work fine but others say dont use them
Even at 20" it seems small. Ever think of cutting it length wise so not only to take the spring tension out of it so the door will fit better but then to add like a 4" section of plate to make it 24" around!?!?
It’s perfect size for back yard smoking. We cooked on it and fit 2 briskets and 2 racks of ribs. But Definitely if we wanted bigger that would work great!!
how did that false bottom work out on heat retention ? ima build one in a few weeks I was quoted 7K for the one I wanted using 2' DIA pipe $ your price is very fair ... well I got a barn welders , crane cherry picker plasma cutters and a torch so why not LOL
I think what you guys are doing is great and I wish my dad was still around to do projects with but I think $3k is steep for this. My basis for that is that somebody could get a Workhorse Pits 1975 for a little less than 3k with a pull out shelf. Not trashing this at all and if you sell it for $3k then I'm happy for you. Personally, I probably wouldn't pay it.
This is a beautiful build but at 3k my opinion that a bit to much...workhorse 1975, Gator pits and Lone Star Grillz all have pits for less. Also speak from experience I would wear welding respirator mask when you removing all that rust from the pipes...that's not good for your lungs and overall health. New subscriber keep up the great work!
@@fathersondiygarage3580 yea I know. I’m in Texas but I’m willing to pay the shipping cost just to support. I’d rather give yal the money than a super well known place that doesn’t care about their work.
Hey, any chance for us to work together to test and install our 4K security camera system? It also can help you to protect the safrty around you. I had emailed you the details of the proposal, hope can get your feedback and move forward! Thanks.
Beautiful craftsmanship. Couple of questions and a suggestion. I didn't see you cut the entry into the smoke stack pipe. Did that happen? The deflector plate at the firebox is going to create a hotspot right in the middle of your grate at the bottom. And have you seen the steam injection video from Smoke Trails BBQ? That one is a game changer. ua-cam.com/video/gkGd1qdkXzw/v-deo.html
First time i see some one building something with welding rods , old school style i love your videos well explained , good job guys
@@marcocanchola7880 thanks for tuning in! More to come!
Those Son - Father moments are gold. You are the envy of many people guys. ENJOY!
Beautiful work 👍🏾👍🏾
greetings from Russia, next week I will start collecting a Smoker and join the American cuisine
Love it guys, Father and Son dual team, the smoker looks great. I would name this smoker " Tank" heavy armor.
You got that right this one was a beast
Now that’s a real smoker
That came pretty nice and smart way to make some extra $$. Recycling material is the way to go! Congrats guys🎉🎉salud
Nice job looks like a well crafted smoker with a team that works well together

When bending the bars for the hinges add a little heat to them from the oxygen acetylene makes like much easier. Love the builds well done 👏
Definitely doing this!
Looks like it's got great draw, nice job guys.

Great video, beautiful smoker, thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! We are glad you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful build and awesome teamwork.
Excellent Video You guys did a great job 🙏
Thanks for watching
Man I love this !! Especially the father and son team. Can't wait to build stuff with my son
That’s what it’s all about!

Awesome grill guys nice build 👍👍💯
I’ll bet your neighbors love the torch tool much quieter too :)
Nice build enjoyed the show
Looks great!! The only thing I would change is drill a hole for your temperature probe over time the door will cut the wire .
Yeah you are right!!! We noticed that when we started cooking
I get my probe grommets from Amazon. You can get a 10 pack for $8.00.
Amazing work!!!
Totally worth $3k
👍🏻👍🏻
That’s super cheap for that pit.
Easily $5000 pit. Super heavy duty
Awesome work.

Yeah that was a great idea. We did a cool on the smoker and it turned out amazing! Held heat good. We will be posting that cook in the next few days!
Great looking cooker🍻🔥👍

That is on our list as well hope to get to it soon!
Any pictures of the tombstone welder holder in the background? That looks cool. Smoker is awesome too.
Nice. Friends ❤❤❤God bless 😊😊
Perfectly made sir..if you dnt mind can you share the pattern and measurements for this please?
fantastico PADRE and SON LOVE IT
Hefty materials and a bargain price! Looks cool!
Where do you locate pipe that size
👍👍👍круто. Ребята молодцы. Какой размер выреза крышки по периметру не подскажите???
This is awesome but I wish you guys would have just bolted the casters in. This offset will last forever but the casters unfortunately will not. Awesome job though!
What about supports of some kind to take the weight of the firebox?🤔
Hi, did you cut the door, dead center on the top, or did you go a inch or two off center? As well as the bottom of the door? thanks

where can I source these pipes?
I suggest get some pipe jacks

i need one just like that.i am looking for something to last 20 years. i live in new orleans
I like it I like it a lot where are you guys at would like to buy one
Did you use 6010 or 7018 for most of those welds?

Try Craigslist or offer up. We can usually find someone in our area selling something.

What size pipe is that 12”??
20”

We get it off of offer up and Craigslist. Every once in a while someone will post it up.

@@fathersondiygarage3580 thanks man. Not as bad as I thought it'd be def think I could tough it out and grind for a few hours.
