I really like the slide on lid you put on the griddle! Great idea. Never tried the vinegar approach but like the concept. I personally use pickled and oiled mild steel since it's usually less expensive in my neck of the woods, and comes without millscale. Super nice.
Thank you Allen for another great video I love my 24" x 24" smoker! Allen and to your hot shot driver who delivered my smoker and the viewers who have commented and also enjoy your videos, Have a Merry Christmas along with your families!
Allen, Another good video, thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video. I hope that you and your family have a Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Never thought about using vinegar. Gonna have to give that a try sometime. Nice lookin shop you got there. Bet it's nice to working inside out of the weather.
Yeah, Allen vinegar is acidic, the acid eats the mill scale off, a dilluted muratic will work much faster, but I don`t know if I would cook on it. Those grills are a work of art Allen, I wish I lived closer, I just can`t justify $1,000 to get it to Michigan, love your work, you and your family, have a very Merry Christmas.
Out of curiosity what model HTP welder do you have? I know you’ve used your for at least two years maybe three. I don’t remember you having trouble with your machine. Have you had any problems you didn’t show on video? I’m asking because I’m eyeballing the hell out of the pro pulse 220. And you running the piss out of your machine has been the best tool review for me. Thanks
Allen try out some higher concentration vinegar , i have some 45% acidity and it works so much faster than the store bought stuff . Merry Xmas to you and your family
Cleaning vinegar is a stronger 30% solution. You could also try concrete etching solution that uses phosphoric acid. It is a little stronger. You can find it at Home Depot.
Merry Christmas Allen you have come along way brother with these smokers m love the cabinets you been making. Need to hit you up on Messenger. Congratulations again and Merry Christmas to you and the Family
Cover with paper towels and then add the vinegar

Great tutorial Allen. I didn't know that vinegar removed mill scale.
Merry Christmas to you and your family !
Great looking shop and videos. Liked the vinegar trick, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Dude you're gonna be in love with that shop floor rolling on a concrete sealer. Fine dust be gone. Merry Christmas love the show!

Merry Christmas!
Great idea. I always enjoy your videos.
love that cook top, great video Allen, your amazing sir your welding skills are awesome Chris H
You do amazing work keep it going and I really enjoy your video's thanks for sharing you knowledge 👍
Thanks Allen good tip.
That's really cool! Thanks for sharing that tip. Try using masking tape to dam the sides and get a deeper pool of vinegar. 👍
Have a Merry Christmas Allen 🎄👍🏻
I use muriatic acid, it's much faster than vinegar. It also removes galvanized coatings! Spray it on, wait 3mins, hose it off!
I have to repair galvanized items from time to time so that's good info.
@@bigal8725 I hate galvanized metal. It's the most miserable stuff to weld on earth.
How do you neutralize it and would it be safe to cook off for eating afterwards?
@@jefflowrythor Baking soda and water. Yes it would be after you wash it.
@@jagboy69
It would be nice if stainless was cheaper.

Nice lookin shop you got there. Bet it's nice to working inside out of the weather.
Alan, you may want to put paper towels next time around the edges even on top and soak it with the vinegar keep up the good work
Nice job. Thanks for the video..

Good video
What paint do you use on your pits?

Yep, works faster, make damn sure you wear gloves.
@@jeremywallace5961 and well ventilated, that stuff will knock you on your keester lol
The Home Depot sells industrial strength 30% vinegar.
You could try mixing the vinegar with some flour and make a paste and put it on the spots that are not level that might work for you
I wonder if that would work on a Blackstone grill top
I was just typing a comment about seasoning the grill top and you interrupted and said it in the video 😛😅🤣
What is the measurement on your cook chamber pieces for the octagon smoker?
You can make them any size you want
Nice
Cleaning vinegar is a stronger 30% solution. You could also try concrete etching solution that uses phosphoric acid. It is a little stronger. You can find it at Home Depot.
Close to the edge. Maybe soak a sponge

What's the purpose of the angle iron @ the fire box top of the door end, looks like my fab table with a pipe trough
