We built one like that back in the year 1990 and cooked a hog. It was delishous. We started cooking at midnight and cooked until mid day. We feed fire coal from a fire beside the pit.

This video is a huge help thank you
Great set of videos! The metal you're using, I'm guessing it isn't galvanized?
Good job, bro
Great video. I'm looking for part 2. Thank you!
Thank you for this! Doing my first while hog and need to build a pit.
Nice
Wow! That's the most economical whole hog/ feed the masses smoker you can make! I liked the tip about cutting the grooves for the bars and the simplicity of using boards as intake dampers. Insulating it with a moving blanket sandwiched between the corrugated roofing metal is another good tip. B&B charcoal is the good stuff! Thanks for the video!
We are so excited to share this video! Marcio did an amazing job and we appreciate your comment! Thanks Mike
Question, as I understand it Home Depot and other retailers treat their metal with zinc to prevent rusting, wouldn’t the heat potentially release the zinc making the food unsafe to eat? If I’m wrong then happy smoking!
That is a legit concern - make sure the steel you buy isn't galvanized.
Burn what ever coating is on the rebar off and use a wire brush to clean it off and you’re good. Just season them with pork fat and you’re good.
Always always always (even store bought grills, smokers, etc) do a hot seasoning for the grill. Just like you do for cast iron pans.
🔥🔥🔥
How high should the cooking grate be above the coals?
Marcio's typical rule is 30 inches at minimum. Keep in mind that the fire will never be directly underneath the hog always placed on all four corners of the block pit.
@@BBCharcoal Thank you so much for responding, I am going to build a block pit,so your info really helps, thanks
what size grate / rack is that?
where did you get it?
I'm curious on this too. I can source everything locally except the grate
Galvanized metal isn't food safe at ALL when heated. Yikes.

Why not?
@@thencarolinaman1934it is poisonous. You don't want to inhale any bit of it. If you have to grind or sand it, wear a mask. Welding? Respirator. Food? Lose it.

Safe up to 392 degrees F (200 C). That is the point that zinc toxicity starts.
2 blocks at a time fellas come on now!
concrete acid stain will give it a nice finish
Im an executive chef with a degree and from Charleston SC. First off, the galvanized tin is a no go. Use a refrigerator box or two sprayed with pam as a cover.
Second on the first layer if bricks you must leave air holes. Works much better. Nice pit, for someone who doesn't do this for a living....
Wouldn’t air holes promote flame (fire) rather than smoke traditionally used for bbq and give more of a “grilling” effect? I think this is how that works with fire pits, but I’ve never made a pit like this for smoking..
Here is my old solid core block and solid poured concrete masonry smoker with the whole firebox lined with refractory mortar lined firebox:
