I've got a LANG offset smoker . Works great . It's a 36 " back yard model. Stoking the firebox is key, then like Harry Soo said , a log per hour . I also mix in chunks of pecan, post oak or apple depending on the meat cooking . Shelves slide out and trays drop down for storage.
I'll miss the Cadillac smoker!!!! That thing looks money!!! Johnny I miss helping out on the catering gigs. Good group of people and Kenny is so methodical with everything. Taught me a lot.
If any of you are in the Midwest or East coast, Lang bbq from Nahunta , Georgia makes every kind of offset smoker .From individual @36 "s , to massive commercial trailer styles . They were the first guys on the block.Mine is entirely 1/4" cold rolled steel. It's like a tank .600pounds .
Always like seeing new pits and new ideas. I am thinking of taking up welding so I can customize my own cooker. That top is fantastic. It is either 90 degrees or raining when I do most of my cooks. A roof over my head would be wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing.
That's a great looking pit. I really like this trailer style that has swing out walls to make a large roof area to get out of the sun and rain. I notice we don't see reverse flow as much as we did a few years ago. But again great looking pit. 👍😁🔥
Thank you. I agree. I’ve been catering for a very long time. This pit fits what we need for now… I love all pits and the diff designs out there. Bbq is fun!
I hope everyone appreciates the enormous amount of work and effort that goes into your cooks. Pit and food look amazing. looks to have a somewhat insulated firebox?
Kenny Tran, Thanks for sharing this video. Great attitude Buddy!!! Showed the BBQ Rig and some meats. Really cool man. Good luck in the business. Bless!!
LOL! You can do like me and have friends who have $30,000 pits that they allow you to play with! My next bucket list is to find a friend with a Bentley as I always wanted to drive one!
I'm blessed that I have friends with nice toys so I can visit and play with them! This cooker would not even fit in my driveway in my postage sized California humble abode!
Awesome Pit , lots of envy. I use $180 electric smoker and my brisket , ribs, turkey etc. come out excellent every single time. If the fam love it then its perfect.
Sounds great! Always use the smoker, method, recipe that brings joy. There is no right or wrong. As long as you are spreading BBQ love, you can boil your meats and char it on the grill and I'll eat it if it's to spread love and kindness. Your energy, love, and sincere intent is much more important how hoity toity your technique is. :-)
What a great idea. Kenny also has a 500 gal offset in addition to his new reverse flow. I noticed different fire management techniques needed as we did not have enough time in the first cook to figure it all out. Kenny has done several cooks so I'll film a follow-up video, if there is interest, to learn what he is doing to finetune fire management for his reverse flow
When I first saw this Dave Klose pit with a roof I said man I'm going to add one to mine. Wait It's not a Klose pit ? The detail of construction are preaty similar except for the stack front and rear, does that make it a reverse flow ? Are there tunning plates on the bottom to form the tunnel ?
And a pocket full of change to buy one. I'm fortunate Kenny lets me cook on his. More collabs soon! Let me know what you want throwdowns of meat, method, rubs, injections, wraps, and spritz you want to see!
Really!...I’m so surprised that it’s hotter on top!...what a brilliant observation!....never in my wildest imagination would I think that it would be hotter on top in a metal tube. Amazing
My wife won't let me get a flame thrower but what if I need to do a burn-in? I think I should get one anyway. I mean all I have to do is tell her to calm down, right? Ha! Man, that's a helluva rig! Great content as always, Harry!
@@thebeardedone7502 - I think we have one nearby. If not, I know that the Ace near our house has them. But yeah, that's the kind that I want that my wife says that I can't have. So I sort of accidentally caught the house on fire once and she just can't let me live that down. Ha! (I really did. Oops!)
Yes, the oyster sauce and BBQ rub works well for tofu. I would smoke the tofu for about an hour until it warms up to internal 160F. Spritz a little oil to help the tofu brown also.
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ well it didnt turn out very well. I did it about 2.5hrs and some with meat church holy cow was OK. Meat church honey hog tasted like weird fish lol. But it may be the tofu brand too.
@@lt4rocious400 best of luck. I know how challenging it is when you have a Health Dept that has little love for the small business operators who are just trying to make a living. Most of my friends who do trailers spend a ton of money getting the trailer certified. I'm hearing $50K - $60K for a top rig. I'm going to do a video to showcase how they got their rig from idea to construction to certification to turning a profit.
Yes, pitmakers have different ideas on fix box shape. For example, research the Moberg which has a special cylinder design for the fire box connect to the main cooking chambers. Also look at Lang Smokers, Klose, and Millscales on their design and construction. They are some of the most well know and respected offsets.
Wow Great Video! I've learned a lot from your videos and everyone says I make the best ribs they've ever tasted... Thanks to you. I'm very intrigued about the Tofu... Does he slice it first or just smoke it whole as a brick? Keep making these great videos. Thanks
It depends on the firmness of the tofu. For less firm ones, I grill the whole block on a foil sheet. For very firm tofu, you can cut into steaks. Also can cook in a pan with sauce. Tofu absorbs the flavors of the ingredients you add and is very neutral. Try it in the pit and you may like it. Or you can use it to terrorize your guests who don't like your BBQ that you'll serve them tofu! :-)
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ still waiting on your lechon black belt tip for crispy skin and succulent interior. Lol. Traditional version and your version of your best bbq skill applied.
When Kenny told me he was inspired to quit his engineering job and open a BBQ joint after my class, I told him he was crazy. That was 9 years ago. Now, he is having fun and doing what he loves. The lesson I learned from Kenny is to do what your heart tells you and not your brain!
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ oh you were spot on with the crazy. Maybe you have to be a little crazy to make “Crazy Good BBQ” 🍖 His catering service is incredibly good also. He provides something you can’t get anywhere else right to your doorstop. Incredibly professional service at a fair price and you are spot on about putting his heart into it. He most definitely has a passion for it. ✌️

Never want to get in trouble w Mama. Some disountwd old white bread also works well. I save the toasted Tortillas chips to go w salsa so they are not wasted. Also to make mulitas and vampiros
OMG ! That is an AWESOME BBQ PIT !!!!! Love the way the shelves slide out. A lot of thought went into this grill. Congratulations to the owner. 👍👍🔥
Right on
@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ Did you take welding class?
That tortilla test is super clever
Thanks Bryan. I also use white bread. Just use whatever is cheaper. You can get a day-old white bread loaf in the grocery store for a buck!
Thanks for smoke an tell.
Love the rig.
You bet!
The technic, the pit, all just wow. Love the little dog at the end, just adorable, lol.
Thank you very much!
Kenny & Harry are the best! Look forward to checking out that pit sometime. Looks very impressive!
Nice rig!! Hello from Idaho.

You're right. The Lang is considered by many to be the best reverse flow offset smoker. I've used it twice and I love it.
I love the DOG forking down the BBQ every time!! @Harry: You should give him a graphic of 4-paws or 5-paws!!
what a great idea for a Mr. Beans approved paw stamp on the food he tastes. I've been told he needs his own channel! :-)
I'll miss the Cadillac smoker!!!! That thing looks money!!! Johnny

Lots of work and a lot of fun to help out!

Great looking food and pit! Would love to see you do a show with the folks that built it!
I will hit up JJ to do a collab. Here is another pit builder friend of mine in Houston - ua-cam.com/video/2IkUdGKDv7U/v-deo.html
Nice Pit. When I first saw the picture I thought it was a Shirley Fabrication.
Damn sick pit Kenny!!!
I assume the shades on the pit is on a lever so you can tow it. Really nice setup.
The wings are collapsible and are locked for transit.
Great video Harry
Glad you enjoyed it
God bless you brother and much success on. They way. 🎉
I can see that you not only take pride in your business, but maybe more importantly you care …
I appreciate that! Thank you.
Wow . made everybody so happy! Hope you do good. Nice video

Great looking pit! What kind of wood was being used?
White oak.
Love the pit and your neighbors are lucky
Great tip with that tortilla test. Very impressive
Glad you liked it! If you don't have tortillas, some white bread also works well. I buy day-old bread from the grocery store.

@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ yes Harry always interest
She ain’t ready to run 72 hours straight with this Dragon 1976. Hahahaha
I noticed that it’s daylight when you were warming up your pit. so how long did you let your brisket cook for? what was the start to Finnish time.
About 8 hours
Does the guy / company that built that smoker have a website??
Pits by JJ out of Houston.
What's that move with the knuckles at 3:19? Why does he do that?
It helps flatten out the point for shaping. Good luck.
We flatten the meat so it's easier to trim when it's flat.
That smoked tofu is a great idea. How long does it need to get a good flavor?
Up to you how long… the longer you smoke it, the more dehydrated it gets. 1-3 hours @250 should suffice.
@@kennytran553 thank you so much. I will definitely try it.
Dang. Jose be the butcher and the builder. Crazy! 😂
Wow really nice BBQ Pit 🔥food looks amazing wish I was a neighbor 🏃

Awesome smoker. Whats the name?
It was a custom smoker that cost about $30K from Texas, I believe
Nice is it a 750 gallon or 1000

How are you getting by the city codes for not having a commissary kitchen and not having a enclosed trailer to protect from contamination????
Kenny owns The Smoking Pit, a top barbecue restaurant, in Garden Grove, CA. The prep happens in a commercial kitchen.
So he doesn't sell food from that trailer to the public?
