- supplies you'll need to build this smoker:
45 cinder blocks
4 flat metal bars 48in
2 24x24 metal grates
1 48x48 piece of wood
25 bricks
1 36x36 piece of metal (bent in half)
Thanks! Enjoy! - Ігри
I love this sort of thing. Years ago back when I lived down in Texas I had a circular stone fire pit I made from landscape stones and I added a little "fire box" to the side of it, put some chicken wire over the top of the pit, and covered it with a wheel barrow for a lid and made some of the best damn meat ever in that crazy thing
Been watching these all day. Your video wins for style and humor. 😂
Thank you! Appreciate that!
Totally agree. Really digging your style!!!
@@destinlee thank you!!!
I thought about doing this a while back, but didn't really know how I would pull it off... Why am I only finding this video and this channel now?!? I gotta try this!
Good start. Excited for your content!!
The bricks to protect the grass lol.
This is fantastic thanks, my local Home Depot’s doesn’t have the grates or metal bars, I’ll have to fine elsewhere 🤔
Awesome. Really looking forward to a cool video.
Excellent episode, thank you for sharing.
Awesome vid 💯. Definitely trying this 👍🏾
Great vid Johnny! I like the build!
Very informative and entertaining video loved it just subscribed
Genius in the simplicity!
Thanks for including the specs!
Slick. Thanks for the info.
I'm thinking about building a permanent one on my property. I was considering going the direct heat route and pre burning the wood to coals or possibly charcoal. I've been smoking with my UDS for 25 years and I like it, but it's kind of a one trick pony.
I liked the video/the idea and your comedy. New Sub right here
Hey boss have you doubled it before to replicate like kruetz market style of pits? And what type of wood did you use chunks or full logs
This is awesome! “Ahhh, yup, don’t do that” lol
Ya dang done did it Jirbo!!
Love that video and I'm going to build one
Shout Out From South Texas 💪🏼🦁💪🏼🦁
Hi!
Hey, really like your build. You are the first video I found that someone actually made a brick offset smoker. I really like it. Will you be building it with morter soon?
Curious on this answer?
Nice job!
Awesome! Well Done!!
Informative and hilarious.
Great video - did you ever make a “how to use it” video? I didn’t see one on your channel.
Yes, PLEASE!
Greatest vid of all time
Great video 👍

This Smoker works great!
I made one of these on my apartment patio and used it for 4 years. I left it there when I moved out, so I didn't get my deposit back...
Lol say what? 😂
Can you make this smaller in order to make it more economical to run?
need a follow up video on this with you cooking on it or something. Thanks
Could you add another block in length to make a bigger cooking surface? Would that make it harder to keep a good fire going?
Jirby your funny...great vid thanks
profile pic is v accurate.
favorite part (3:52): "what was that noise?" lol
You tell him he looks like Shrek and then want him to reply?. Lol
@@Grzmnky i hope he doesn't reply 🤞
@@thenameisdottie you never know if you're the Fiona to his Shrek lol
Nice cheap quick smoker. I like it. Going to try and build something like this next weekend. Thank.
PS... what was that noise? Haha
Great, simple design. Would it benefit heat retention to fill those vertical holes in the outside blocks with something, or even just a piece of plywood between the block levels to prevent any heat in those channels from flowing freely upward and outward?
You can fill them up with sand and it will help. I use a thick metal sheet that I had lying around to cover the top. My set up is different but same concept.
Hey mate, like the clip. Just a question, do you have to cover cover the fire box? Would it still draw smoke and heat through to the food box?
I think it probably would actually, I never did that but the metal I had on top was super thin doubt it trapped much heat. I’ll try that out next time!
Very nice!
Yooooooo. amazing. please cook something on it!
Maybe turn two bricks instead of one in the firebox to get more airflow and burn cleaner. Sick idea for this brick offset. Similar to old school pits
And no brick between the firebox and cooking chamber
This is cool!
So just start a normal fire as you would in an offset smoker in the fire pit section you made and cover it up?
this will be my new project
Saludos
Smaller version running on charcoal?
Totally Awesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😎👍
is there a list of equipment ?
How do you control the temperature?
Love it. Like baby Mueller pit.
Awesome 👏🏽

Hope Ribbee’s is off to a good start. Quick dumb ?, how many of what size cinder blocks do I need to get? Other than that, I think I can handle the rest from the video. Thanks.
Awesome 👍
You should do a smoke on this rig
nice video. Where are the videos of the cooks? Getting the blocks and materials is pretty easy- but it would be good to see this pit in action. I don't know it- but I've heard that these pits take a lot of time and fuel to come up to temp- you have to heat up the ground, you have to heat up the concrete- then whatever it takes for the cook. I want to believe in this rig- I can see it in my back yard but it needs to function as decent cooker or it's just a big lego set. Pork butt, ribs- I'm easy. It doesn't have to put out a world class brisket- but that would be nice too :)
I would forget the whole off set idea and turn it into a direct heat smoker. He could just stack the blocks up one row higher. It's a good design for a whole hog cooker.
Hell yeah! Would u need any more supplies to flip it into a direct heat hog cooker or could you just reconfigure the layout?
I think you could just move some blocks around to turn it into a smoker that could cook a half hog!
I bet he's the kind of dude who hates hearing his own voice on video. hahaha. kidding. seriously though, awesome video.
Thanks for sharing this simple concept...do you think making the pit 6 or 7 blocks long will change the thermodynamics greatly. The width is cool...would just like to do more meat at one time.
It’s a good question- we will try this and see - we are planning on using ours for cold smoking
I can’t understand why no cement to keep it together is there a reason
I love old school.
This is probably the best cinder block smoker I've seen on here , are you going to do a cook soon ?
I’ve done pork ribs! Brisket and other meats are coming soon!
@@jirbybbq Great!!!
How many bricks did you use
Is this material food safe?
love the vid! Question, is the plywood on top an issue? Doesn't it burn?
No. It's nowhere near a flame and combustion temps of plywood are much higher than you'd be dealing with.
The ugh counter was great! Lmao
You're a funny dude.
Did anyone have the final “uh” count for this whole vid?
That noise 😂
A good idea might be to put sand on top of the grass
Is there any concern using cinder blocks because of the fly ash that could be in there or other cancer causing materials?
yeah this is not safe at all lol
Uhhh, thanks 🙏
Crown this dude the “Umm King” 😂 tf
LoL, and a follow..
Cmu block for info…..
Music was very Mario .
Too funny
Really not at all different than what they did early on in the Louisiana. It's actually more traditional than anything
Do you still approve this message
Lmao
🤦
This is toxic for food
If you're gonna spend that much money ($200 isn't nothing) may as well level and join the blocks properly. Everything is lopsided.
Sup bruh! Do you have a cook on this that you could show us or how to get it started? I think I'm gonna make one
I built something very similar to do whole hogs. The one thing that was different was we didn't build a chimney. Could you explain that a little more? I'm trying to visualize the holes but i can't wrap my head around it. Did you modify anything?
With an offset smoker you have a firebox and a chimney opposite side to "pull" or "draw" the smoke through the smoke chamber. Typically the higher the chimney the better the draw. He put the smaller bricks there to close the hole so the smoke wouldn't escape and the cinderblock as the chimney so the smoke is pulled through the holes in the cinderblock
@@stradosphere I understand what a chimney is and how it works. I was asking for a visualization of the actual build.
200 bucks haha not now days....
