My honest and true one year review of the workhorse pits 1975.After plenty of use, I will give you 5 reasons why you should buy this smoker versus other big names in the market.
enjoy🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Got my 1975 last week after waiting 7 months. I had never touched an offset before but was making the best bbq of my life by the end of the long weekend. If you’re paying attention to detail, just takes a few cooks to dial it in.
💯💯💯 with you on that
@BFKJ that is so encouraging, I too have never used an offset! Should get my '69 this month (??)
Thanks for all the content. I took delivery of my 1975 Feb, 28th, this year. I’ve cooked on it just about every weekend since.
Anytime brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽 you put that thing to use for sure 👍🏼👍🏼
Always catch your offset vids! I received mines in early Feb. I have a couple cooks under my belt but still trying to perfect it. Keep them coming bro!
Thank you 🙏🏽
received my 1969 model April '21 and love it just as much...very excellent pit and agree with your 5 reasons. I would add one more, and that is the design of the pit...air flow is incredible, so much so that I find cook times are significantly less than what I see others have on the YT bbq channels. And the quality of the meat coming off is simply amazing.
Well said!
Aparently I lead a viewer's life. Your B-roll reminded me that your patio has gone through a change or two!
You have a lot of cookers! Love your cooks senior, keep them going!
thank you for the support brother🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow can't believe its been one year already. I remember when you received it and started smoking on it shortly after. Here's to many more videos!
Time flies brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Beautiful pit. Your videos and a friend who just purchased a 1969 has gotten me convinced about Workhorse. I’m gonna go for the 1975t. In Cent. FL as well.
Great choice my friend 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽enjoy
"Buy once cry once" cracked me up 🤣 🤣 looking great!
😂😂😂
Maaannnn…. What a Beautiful Smoker!! Also ya still KILLIN Me with all your splits! Jealous 😁👍👍
Lol..Thank you 🙏🏽
Nice. You posted at perfect time.
Lol… I hope so.Thank you 🙏🏽
Man it's been a year already. I remember that original video is how I found your channel. Great stuff, bro!
More than a year…time flies…thank you for your support and congratulations on your growth brother.👍🏼👍🏼..well deserved 💯💯
I saw this guy driving down Fowler ave with load of them. I got mine last year and love it
👍👍👍
Thanks for all the content helping me decide I ordered my 1975 yesterday I’ll be hitting you up for tips.
I ordered mine yesterday too ha. Good luck👍
@@davidbueso3840 That's great minds think alike. Is this your first offset and what are you coking on now?
@@MCD1000 Yessir! This will be my first off set man. I have a simple kettle grill but it's time for a big upgrade!👍
Anytime..Please do💯💯
Great review. I'm thinking of getting one soon.
Go for it!
Great review my brother
Thank you 🙏🏽
Beautiful smoker
Thank you 🙏🏽
great information thanks for sharing. God bless 🙏 amigo.
Thank you 🙏🏽
great video , thanks
Thank you 🙏🏽
Nice put! I waiting on the same one ☝️
👍🏽👍🏽
Been following your channel didn’t know you had the Babe and the 1975! Nice!!!
I wish Samuel… that babe just was on the same delivery truck as my 1975😂😂😂
@@BackyardWarrior oooooh 😂🤣😂
Outstanding video my man! Sometimes I wish I had gone with one of these instead of my LSG. Hope to keep seeing more of the 1975!!
LSG’s are solid units. No need to second guess your choice. Too many people think they have to have the newest trendiest cooker on the block. Six months from now some new builder will show up and everyone will think they have to have it.
@@corey1788 well I mentioned this because for the price, the workhorse is incredibly hard to beat. Had I known about them beforehand, I probably would have picked one up.
@@corey1788 again only your pocket and needs dictate the route you take to buy a cooker.and maybe some personal preference that has nothing to do with cooking performance 💯💯💯
@@ElSenorBbq 💯💯
Oh they coming brother 💯💯
Nice Pit Omar!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Took delivery of my 1975 a couple of weeks ago, had my first cook and ran into the same issue of the grease draining into the firebox. Will be giving your solution a try........
Just get some of the full size aluminum pan, 2-3" tall ones, and put it under the cooking grate to collect the grease. Solves the drain issue and makes clean up a breeze.
It works 💯💯
@@tmalone893 it might works as heat shield and disrupt air flow
@@BackyardWarrior It doesn't as long as you don't go more then 2 pans wide, usually the width of the grate beside the smoke collector. I agree if you go any further but I rarely use that much area for my cooks. Just a suggestion. Love the your videos.
Instead of the jack you should just put bigger wheels on the back will solve that issue. Great review.
I just wanted it a little bit of elevated ... a bigger tire might be too much
Good stuff! Actually working on a 6 month review myself. Give her a linseed oil bath hahha :) Cover needs to be Sunbrella fabric, mine is already quite faded which looks terrible lol. I'd rather spend twice as much for a cover that doesn't fade. Great overview, keep on smoking!
That's actually a good idea, when mine comes I'll take it to the upholstery shop that made all the cushions for the backyard furniture, I could not believe how faded the cover was after only a year.
Anecdotally, I’m not sure the cover material matters that much. If the pit is going to be out in the elements then the cover is going to get beat up. I have two BGEs both covered, one exposed and one under an awning. There is a stark difference between the two covers after a few years. The exposed cover is frayed, thin, and bleached out while the covered cover is still holding up well.
@@bfkj9319 my Komodo Kamado is 3 years old and sits out uncovered year round and has no fading or issues at all. Both Yoder and Lynx covers are in great shape as well. I’m on the east coast so see snow and the sun comes up from that side of the house. The Yoder is tan (prob by design) but the other two are black and haven’t faded a bit. Everything is 3 years old. Lynx is leather like though (was $400) and the KK is Sunbrella.
It’s super picky, but I’d spend more to have a similar quality cover on my 1975.
@@OffsetRookie I assumed a protective ceramic shell came with the KK given the price point 😂
@@bfkj9319 LMAO
love your content, I've had my 1975 for about 8 mo and very happy except i notice smoke leaking from top of main chamber door. have you had this issue?
It’s normal with any offset smoker..as soon as air flow and pressure is settled,it’ll stop leaking from the cook chamber door
Great video!!! I’m thinking about buying a used one how hard would it be to get this pit up one step. I have one step to get it up to my patio. Do you think 2 people can get it up one step or would we need a ramp ?
2 strong people will do...this thing is heavy
Any chance you could tour us your backyard? Keen to buy an offset here in Melbourne Oz, but space/wood storage is an issue
I live in relatively in a medium size house. half backyard (30x24) is concrete slab partially covered, and I store the wood along the fence on both sides of the house.between my wife's plants and my grills and smokers,ther is not much room left.
Mine goes into production in October. I'm pretty disappointed in the condition of that cover though, especially for the price.
it's not that bad.... the smoker is legit though💯
How close can you put food to the firebox say a brisket or a pork butt without it getting burned. How even are the temps from left to right? Have you had any problems with grease running back into the firebox from the cook chamber? I currently have an LSG but I am not real happy with the tuning plates it has. So I have been seriously considering selling it and purchasing a 1975. Your feedback is greatly appreciated
No hot spot,where ever I put meat in the chamber ..it won't burn.bottom grate is even from end to end..it tends to get hotter on the upper grate.the grease thing is an easy fix...watch my 1 year review video ..it will help you with you purchase.
What size splits do you think work best for temps and fuel efficiency? Thanks for your videos.
12-14 inch works best for me (2-4 diameter)
I purchased a 1975 recently, but it’ll be 6 months or so before I get it. As somebody who’s always used a pellet grill, how hard do you think it’ll be to learn fire management on the 1975?
Not at all... easier than most cheap smokers at big box store
Where do you source your wood in Florida? I have a 1975 myself in the Tampa area.
FB market place…plenty wood to go around
What part of FL do you live? I’m in Tampa waiting to get my 1975t this year.
Not far … around haines city. Good for you brother.get some 🪵🪵🪵wood ready 💯💯
Hey Backyard Warrior, where did you buy the firebox grate for the firebox?
www.etsy.com/listing/932397420/steel-fire-pit-grate-wood-burning?click_key=2b21336d2ddb40fa6aa9122e55a7701213d62ea4%3A932397420&click_sum=b9760314&ref=hp_rf-1&frs=1&sts=1
Do you think having the jack under the firebox with that constant force throughout the cook and expanding/contracting over time might affect the welds there?
Not at all... the weight of the smoker(most of it) is still on the pneumatic wheels.. it's just a slight incline to reduce the grease flow toward the fire box.
@@BackyardWarrior thanks for the reply. Guess that’s easier than finding something to put under the wheels. Appreciate your cooking, saving for a 1975. Watching your Paella video now for the Weber
Did you ever contact Workhorse about the grease drain issue? Seems like a safety issue. Would also be upset.
No….I just fixed it myself
Wait is actually 7-8 months now. Been waiting since November…
I believe it… popularity is ⬆️⬆️⬆️
where u get the charcoal grate?
In this video …there is a link to it
th-cam.com/video/wLyOa4DXHm0/w-d-xo.html
Backyard Warrior can you please provide the measurements of the opening between the firebox and the cook chamber?
6inch
@@BackyardWarrior Thanks brother.
i noticed you got all kinds of wood there in the back round Pine logs ?
No pine... different oaks.
Jack it up to desired level, unscrew the bolts on casters add washers (shim)
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Just got my 1975 2 days ago and thought that's what I'm gonna do.
How long are the sticks you are using in your Workhorse
Between 12-16
Damn that trailer almost wasn't big enough LOL
lol... I think he delivered all the smokers on it.. I was the last stop.
man u must be rich buying both at a time like that.
I dont know about rich😂😂 I spend my money wisely 💯💯
i can understand you better in this video at least
You know you can always turn on the captions 💯💯
@@BackyardWarrior true... at least yours ist just a volume issue in the other vid. Try turning them on for scottish people... lol
@@Arlong1776 you must be one of my oldest friends on here…I’ve had some microphone issues in the past and been working on it since then…thank you for the love🙏🙏
@@BackyardWarrior Ive been here back and forth for years on diff names after getting banned etc lol. Now youve convinced me waiting half a year for a smoker is worth it
I hope your slab was off line because thousands of dollars and you have to level it with a jack??? Wtf
All good brother… the bbq is 🔥🔥🔥 and that’s priceless 💯💯💯
Thanks for the review! I have a 1969 with an ETA for June. Did you add the grate in the firebox to elevate the fire when cooking on the cowboy grill or for another reason?
Mainly for air flow and looks.Also trying to protect bottom of fire box for constant hight heat, usually bottom of firebox is first thing to deteriorate in a smoker.But I doubt it would be the case seeing the thickness of it.
