I agree over here(Australia) the SM would be several thousand easily... you would barely have much change from buying the materials/consumables for that price!
That's a really nice fire pit and excellent workmanship. I would like to build a fire pit for my backyard. I'm going to have to brush up my welding with my everlast though. My welds still look like rabbit pellets.
Your channel is the one I enjoy watching the most. Consider the option of supplying the pit's & grills with a custom tarp & get the wife to manufacture the custom tarp's and charge extra for them.
Robert Coyle that is very cheap , material for the ones i build cost so much that if i’m not careful I won’t make any money , one like this i’d charge $1000 , allen is top notch and very gifted in his skills
Not to be a smart butt, but the rain and the ash actually cause a caustic lye which is very strong! Just wanted to bring that up. It’s what is used in the old soap recipes but hay that thing is killer bud, great job.
Allen you are correct on the ashes. Hardwood ashes contain Lye. In fact old timers used hardwood ashes to take the skin off dried corn in order to make Hominy. If you don't mind me asking what gauge expanded metal did you use on that one?
Great work man!! I recently built a custom Smoker/BBQ and I used some of your tips and turned out great! I'm trying to sell it and just not getting the action I anticipated? People are kinda cheep in the area I live and they just don't want to pay what it's worth $350...Do you have any advice for a fellow fabricator to sell work and drum up custom work like yourself? I can tell you one thing for sure...if you were located in a higher paying area you would be in a full blown shop and be VERY Successful! You do REALLY nice work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated brother!👊 Thanks
Jason Olson not sure about anyone else, but here we have a lot of Facebook Garage Sale pages on FB targeted at various neighborhoods and subdivisions. People post a lot of higher priced items on the pages for the more upscale neighborhoods.
Hey mate love your work, you seem very down to earth,and have genuine passion,I agree bloody steel prices are crazy.By the way I’m a plumber from Australia,that also has a passion for welding,but hey mate nowhere near your league.be interesting to see what the cost would be to have one landed to Australia.im from Melbourne in the south of Australia.Its starting to really take off in Australia you know,grilling,smoking etc.Even had my phot taken with Miron Mixon when he was here at start of year.Anyway hope to here from you.(Aussie Gez)
Great work Allen, what are you getting for your reverse smoker? I know there's a lot of variables but just a ball park. Again, thanks for the video. You're a talented fabricator..
Dave Evans the fully loaded removable reverse plate with burner griddle and propane assist in wood box at current steel prices is $1,350 half of what it is worth I have the one he built for the trailer the Rich Bastard and this is my Santa Maria grill my 17 th fire pit grill I have purchased they are unmatched in quality function and lasting for generations buy you one and update your will they will be fighting over it when your gone ! LoL
Why of course we gonna like and glad to see ya not swimming in ya yard now lol,,, but another great build and can't wait to see ya new adjustments to ya smokers
Allen.......how can I contact you.....I need some cutouts......and I need a grill/smoker.....I am in Kingston, Jamaica West Indies......When you make it I will get it to Florida and then down to Jamaica......
I would much rather support an individual craftsman like this gentleman than buy anything from a corporate giant. Great work. Another beauty.
Allen, you are a true Craftsman, great products your building 😀👍🏼
I honestly think you should increase your prices my guy. This is quality work and craftsmanship.
I agree over here(Australia) the SM would be several thousand easily... you would barely have much change from buying the materials/consumables for that price!
Agreed not awesome craftsmanship.
Awesome job Allen.... that is more than a fair price, and they're worth waiting for!
That's a nice fire pit..or grill thanks for sharing Allen..always watching ur videos..
Thanks Allen for creating these videos. Love watching your craftsmanship.
Love watching hour videos. You have taught me so much. Thank you
Alan, been watching your videos for a little while now. You are one talented and humble man. Keep up the great work.
That's a really nice fire pit and excellent workmanship. I would like to build a fire pit for my backyard. I'm going to have to brush up my welding with my everlast though. My welds still look like rabbit pellets.
Allen, the wood ashes and water create lye, and it's the lye that destroys the steel.
Awesome job Allen! You should start a web site with pictures and prices.
hey allen i was a weldor for 40yrs wow you the man congrats
There is a huge difference in a "welder" and a Fabricator ! I've been in the Ornamental metals business for 30 years now.
who ask for your opinian
Your channel is the one I enjoy watching the most. Consider the option of supplying the pit's & grills with a custom tarp & get the wife to manufacture the custom tarp's and charge extra for them.
You need to up your prices... especially with the price of steel going up.
Robert Coyle that is very cheap , material for the ones i build cost so much that if i’m not careful I won’t make any money , one like this i’d charge $1000 , allen is top notch and very gifted in his skills
Another great build and a great price for all the work that goes into building them. Keep up the great video's
You do awesome work, and I think your coughing has decreased. Take care.
Another beautiful job Allen! You do great work, that looks so beautiful! Thank you for sharing
When your behind on work thats how you know you dont charge Enuff ive built one like this too but mine was round
Allen, how do you calculate the side panels , have you done a video on this before, thanks. Great work
You are the man buddy! Any chance you would sell the plans on how to build one as far as measurements?
I also would love measurements and how you figure out all those angles.
Not to be a smart butt, but the rain and the ash actually cause a caustic lye which is very strong! Just wanted to bring that up. It’s what is used in the old soap recipes but hay that thing is killer bud, great job.
You should make a video on how you paint them. Do you use a paint gun or rattle can?
Awesome build you have there Mr. Tubbs !!
Timothy Leger oh, we know him on that level now?
Great looking fire pit cooker, you do great work
If i didnt live way up in canada id buy one for sure!!!
Wow Great work and beautiful design.
Wow! You should be a Teacher!! Your a Man of skill!
Top notch as usual Allen, nice work mate.
wish you lived closer brother! looks great man! God bless
That's a very nice interesting build I love your work
Allen you are correct on the ashes. Hardwood ashes contain Lye. In fact old timers used hardwood ashes to take the skin off dried corn in order to make Hominy. If you don't mind me asking what gauge expanded metal did you use on that one?
I would guess a $2500 price tag for sure. But sounds like you know what your doing.great vid.
This is a thing of beauty.

That’s a 2.000 grill in North Tucson,Saddlebrooke Ranch ,,Custom,,!
Some more great work, WTG... I've fallen behind also due to the flood we had, keep up the good work bro.👍
Pretty cool Allen.....like the SM.
Can you show how you built the wheel & how the height adjusting wheel actually works?

Thanks,
Dale
Great work
Nice Allen!!! And Is There Going To Be An Upload To The Southern Smoke Barbeque Channel Anytime Soon??
what do you use to mark your cut line dude?? Great work BTW.
Great work Allen, what are you getting for your reverse smoker? I know there's a lot of variables but just a ball park.
Again, thanks for the video. You're a talented fabricator..

Do you have plans for this grill?
hey allen, what brand and make of welder do you use ?
Why of course we gonna like and glad to see ya not swimming in ya yard now lol,,, but another great build and can't wait to see ya new adjustments to ya smokers
Beautiful work! It is lye and not acid, though. But the point is well taken.
I am going to ask a really dumb question. What is the mesh material you use for the grates.
expanded metal.
Thank You!
What an awesome job! I bet you burn thru some welding wire!
1rustytree yes. He does.
What gauge or thickness steel sheeting do you use to build your smokers with?
3/16" most of the time
How thick of metal do you use on the Firebox on your smokers?
3/16”or 1/4”
I treat my pit like a good cast iron skillet everytime I use it I cover it in vegetable oil
Exelente
You ever think of getting a new welder?
Allen.......how can I contact you.....I need some cutouts......and I need a grill/smoker.....I am in Kingston, Jamaica West Indies......When you make it I will get it to Florida and then down to Jamaica......
Ok......just saw your email.......
I want one
Where you located at
state of Louisiana is what i heard
Volume makes money not price raises. Read Henry Ford's Book,(My Life & Work)
I would charge 1600 for that budd
Here is a bigger one that I built. th-cam.com/video/eSEPG-g9OXQ/w-d-xo.html
