Nice video Kory. Beautiful smoker too! Shirley definitely makes the best smokers for sure! Look forward to seeing some cooks on that 500 in the future! Congrats and enjoy! I am waiting on my custom 24x36 from Shirley👍
I’m jealous! I’m catering up in PA and would love to have a pit this size! I’m running on 2 offsets right now for most of my jobs and it’s tough but one day I’ll get a rig this size
You should get on their wait list and save up. That is what I’ve done. Even a 250 with three racks would be massive. Good luck to you and the business!
I actually have two of these old tanks and I thought about turning morning to a smoker and grill myself like in one compartment short and the other one loan just for the purpose of being able to do things like cook a whole big or mustard chicken wrap one time while I cook burgers or grill shrimp and stuff like that on the other side
I just looked them up and I assume you are the owner. They look functional and I am sure they put out good food but they are not in the same class as a Shirley. Thanks for watching and good luck to ya!! Take care.
I believe they cost a lot more. I thought about single door but didn’t want to lose all the heat when I opened it up and that is why I went with the removable middle grate tracks for a whole hog. You could probably get double doors on one side and a single door on the other side if you wanted.
@@korycoleman removable tracks in the middle only for the one in the center correct and is there a reason why you didnt drop the bottom grate to line up with door for just a little more space you think that is a good idea or bad
@@soloM81 mine are removable only in the center middle track but you could have the tops removable too if you wanted. Mine are above the opening because I wanted them to slide out. The tank is 37” in diameter so I didn’t want to have to reach my head in there with a fire going. They can do it either way.
I’m waiting for my 250 gallon. I think I want mini me version of yours. LOL. Is the connection with the fire box and cooking chamber a little different? It seems the main chamber comes off the top of the firebox more than the end. Anyways it’s beautiful. I am patiently waiting for my turn. Congratulations.
I think the firebox is just a bit lower than the stack which is good in my opinion. A 250 replica would look sweet! I had spoken to a guy who is getting a 250 and the length was about the same as the 500 so maybe you want to go all in and get the 500? 😂 now that I have spent your money I will let you be. Lol
Congratulations! That is a work of art! Couldn’t agree with you more, the Shirley team are great people. Nobody beats the Shirley quality!
LOOKS GREAT KORY , I AM GLAD I GOT TO MEET YOU WHEN YOU PICKED IT UP . I KNOW ITS GONNA COOK GREAT , THATS A WORK OF ART FOR SURE
Sweet smoker man, that stack is awesome, the torch job makes the build special for sure, love it...getting my primitive pit 250 this month.
Congrats!! Those are nice ones as well!!
Great build I would add another grade on the firebox end to hold a water pan
There is actually a shelf to put one on if needed.
A work of art.
They all are. You already know!!
Damn, that thing is amazing. I love the features and the look of that thing.
Thanks. It is a beast!

Get to work! 😂
Lets GOOOO!
Badass smoker! I am curious about that stack. Is that a 10" or 12" and how tall is it?
It is 6’ tall and 6” diameter. Drafts unbelievable!
Chisholm Trail BBQ Smokers sells their 500 Gallon Smoker Trailers for $4700 and they have self insulated fireboxes. Much better deal.

your thoughts on pigironpatina seem to cost more then Shirley so a 500 is the way to go you think going for one big door is better
I believe they cost a lot more. I thought about single door but didn’t want to lose all the heat when I opened it up and that is why I went with the removable middle grate tracks for a whole hog. You could probably get double doors on one side and a single door on the other side if you wanted.
