@@CodeyMikes those horseshoe handles, tho, I don't remember seeing that before. I know he inspired me 5 years ago... Here it is painted (last year). m.facebook.com/BrooklynFoodz/photos/a.1429029793976055/2387008494844842/?type=3&source=54&locale2=fr_FR&ref=page_internal
Awesome video. Can’t wait to see more. Keep up the good work. That’s as good of a smoker as anybody else is building out there if you ask me. It looks like y’all will be successful.
Excellet build guys! Fun and satisfying to watch you talk about it. Question for you... I like how your capped the ends of the cook chamber with half spheres instead of flat plate and how the smoke would collect in it as a manifold then out the stack. Any particular formula in designing the size and length of the stack due to the sphered ends vs coming off of a flat plate? Also, is there a clear finish on your steel? Which one can handle that heat? Thanks!
These are old propane tanks that’s why they have the spheres ends. But you’re correct with the smoke. This size was a 250 gallon. We use a car clear. Seems to work the best. But I don’t believe there is a forever paint for bbq smokers. Any paint you put on it. You will need to tend to it at some point. The car clear has been the best so far.
Try making a metal downplate where the firebox meets the tank. Sometimes the flame can jump on you and scorch meat, that'll force the heat below the grates. Badass build man
From firebox to cook chamber you need a baffle to help deflect heat. Or that side of smoker will be useless cause the heat will be too intense. Also it needs a drain for fat and drippings.
Hay bro you have no worries from me I like how you guys got to gather and made something happen of what I like and I'm trying to do for me smoker actually I wish I had you guys help but I don't know if you guys are in California I am trying to get my BBQ Benjamin Moore off the ground if you guys are in California I would like to hear from you guys I need help big time so you guys keep up the good work and make more videos I'll be 👁👁
Man we’re in Texas. Sorry. If you ever are down this way you’re more then welcome to come check us out. Also feel free to ask question. We maybe able to help. Or if a lot of people are wanting to know the same question we can just make a video on it.
Did you use a formula to calculate the length and diameter of the smokestack? I've heard that the smokestack should be 1/3 the length of the smoker and the diameter should be 20% of the tank diameter to create an optimal draw. Thoughts?
Hello budy, how are you? I have a bbq smoker, and it has some internal parts and a little rusty grids that paint I could use to not taste the meat and it would hold or every time before using it to have all the work of cleaning. thank you
What I would do is get it nice and hot. And scrape the grates. And then pray them down with Pam cooking spray. And then do a dirty smoke on it. Or you could get some fat trimmings (something you don’t really care to eat) and cook on the grill. The metal taste will go away.
Killer job gents!!! How did you come up with the template for the firebox to cut out on the cook chamber? In other words, how did you know what to cut out so the firebox would fit perfectly? Other than that, your video is very informative in the sense of the way you are filming the process. I understand how and why you did most things but the firebox cutout would be the one that has me scratching my head! Cheers brothers.
We should be dropping a video on building our fire boxes! Probably in the next week or two. We pretty much take a square and marker with the fire box at the height. And scratch it first with the square. Then look at it. If it looks right. Mark it. If now do it again. It’s hard to explain in text lol. Sorry.
Cars N Que no problem. I’m a “show me” type of learner anyways. I’ll make sure to subscribe and check notifications so I can get up on that firebox video! Working on my first video now. Taking an Outdoor Gourmet Vertical Smoker and chopping it to make it into a horizontal. We’ll see. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What we do is soak them Atleast 2 times for Atleast 2 weeks each time. With dawn and water. We’ve been really careful cutting them. We always have them full. And cut Atleast a 4x4 size hole out. This is what we do. I’m not telling you to do it and it’ll be safe. There are other ways that it can be done. I will say if you’re not a 100% on doing it yourself. Pay someone.
Great build, I'm in Australia Melbourne and trying to get hold of of the propane tanks is extremely difficult. How do you guy's get them in the states?
That's one badass smoker. I do alot of cooking for different occasions and about to start my business. What do you charge for a smoker exactly like this one?
Sick build........I love it. Couple of questions though......What exactly were you trying to show with the torching of the two different types of insulation because neither one of them seemed to burn? Also, the lock on the firebox door and the vent control stem, do they get "untouchable" hot during a cook?
The insulation. The high temp if it gets open flame it doesn’t burn it turns into a metal type dust. The regular would burn /catch on fire. We should’ve touched more on it. And it really doesn’t get that that hot. I mean it’s not like you’re going to rest your hand on it. But to put it into position it works fine. When I get the fire set I never mess with the FB damper unless I want to run a dirty fire at any point or if the wind blowing hard right into it.
Great vid! We’re building a 250 gallon smoker in Oregon. I have a question about the firebox. I noticed you didn’t add a heat shield between the firebox and main chamber. Thoughts on that?
Great build. Going to bombard you with questions sorry. What's the diameter size and length of the inner and outer firebox pipes? And if you can the thickness? Thank you. I'm trying to find pipes around my local area for my firebox. I want to do the same style smoker on my 250g tank.
The diameter outter 30” The diameter inner 28” The length outter 32” The length inner 32.3/8” Thickness of the outer is just whatever the 250 gallon is The inner thickness was 5/8” thick
I made the inner a little longer (whatever thickness of the ring to seal off the firebox) so it would be flush when we put the door part and about to weld it all up good
how much the tank cost? cause im in indonesia its pretty hard to find such a tank, i found several but they usually used it for air compressor and it cost me a fortune, like for 500 litre cost about 1 thousand usd bruh, or is there any reference where i might find those kind of tank?
Good size build but why like all you tubers who make these smoker use time laps so video only 10 - 20 min. I wish some one do a series of video and show a proper full build for us that like to make but not know how, like me haha
Maybe one day we will do a build series. But there would have to be time lapse. Otherwise the videos would be 4 hours long. Unless I split 1 day into 8 videos 30 minutes long. Lol. It’s definitely a process. Many hours in each build.
Cars N Que just depends on what your cooking If only brisket cooks I keep one shelf but I cook several meats at the same time so it’s nice to have 2 shelves. What state are you in?
Sweet, Definitely going to link with you guys once this whole thing blows over. I’m really diggin the logo underneath the door panels. Thanks for your response. Keep the content comin and stay safe out there brotha.
Took a 4 foot level. Set the outter fire box the height we wanted it. Took a marker and level and did the ark. Then the bottom was flat because the way our fire boxes are.
I like the epic music in the beginning. Like watching the 1st German U-boat roll off the assembly line lol.
Who ever buys this beast will have an awesome video documenting its production.
I love your work... beautiful. I live here in Zambia, Africa. I wish I had that smoker for my foundation to smok and feed the people

Thank you! Happy Easter to you too!
Awesome, design and craftsmanship!
Thank you!
It's a great setup only part I would of changed was the smoke stack you want the most amount of air for these big rigs
Curious how you would change stack?
Six inch pipe isn't big enough?
Outstanding! Great work! You can see a quality progression of workmanship and technique.

Justin Mireles after watching the video that was my first thought.
Thank you. Will keep that in mind. We may put a defector plate on the smaller smokers. I haven’t had a problem with that yet.
the insulated fire box helps a lot by not having to build a big fire. That is probably why too
Also give a place to put a water pan ..
Awesome build!
Thanks
From firebox to cook chamber you need a baffle to help deflect heat. Or that side of smoker will be useless cause the heat will be too intense. Also it needs a drain for fat and drippings.
No deflector needed. Runs even end to end. And it has a drain. Thank you!

Great Job 👍🏽
Nice
That looks like it took considerably longer than 10 minutes

NICE SMOKER MORE GRILLS
ANY WHEELS ?
T HANDLE ON FIREBOX MIGHT GET HOT
T handle isn’t bad. But It’s not like you constantly adjust it. And when you do it’s just a tap.
Nice

Great job Bo
Just a regular clear. So far it’s held up pretty good. I’m sure we will have to clear it again

Not anymore man. We went down a rabbit hole one time.... lol yea
I am looking to build a smoker but don’t know where to get the propane tank. Do y’all have any ideas on where to look?
I’d check the closest propane company near you. They usually sell old decommissioned tanks for cheap
Would have went with stainless steel racks if it were me but I guess some people like rust.
