I finally caught one of your videos right when you posted it! Woohoo! Lol. Thanks for the shout out Scott. We appreciate it. Your videos are great and help alot of people. Keep'em coming!
Hey Scott. I really enjoy your videos and share your passion for the Shirleys. Kevin delivered my 24x65 a couple of months ago and I love it. I especially enjoy the way you involve your kids... In doing your videos, you’re also teaching fathers how to be a great dad. God bless!
Nice Demonstration Scott Only thing I would like to see them add to that pit is a sear grate in fire box. They are my favorite pit probably followed by Lonestargrillz. I know they have put a griddle top with hinge lid similar to lonestargrillz. If you watched the Sept. 10 2020 video, on Shirley site I like the same pit with 42 inch chargrill. Keep up the great work you do, love the enthusiasm and family involvement.
I've heard avertisements from other pit manufacturers that with reverse flow pits, the flavor of the food is enhanced with the drippings hitting the bottom plate and the steam from the drippings coming back up to the food adding additional flavor. Also, I've heard that with the heat coming up from the bottom plate, along with the heat coming across the food over the top allows the food to cook in a little less time, plus cooking more evenly as compared to a non-reverse flow pit. Have you noticed any of these features?? This was a GREAT VIDEO on the Shirley Fabrication Smokers. I've seen several of your previous videos and have enjoyed everyone one. It's great to see you include the family in what you do. Please keep those videos coming!!
@@fam_eats_4850 So good to hear that. They are definitely the best smokers for the money and the best made with quality better than any I've seen. Thanks again!
I built my own about 15 years ago. But I’ve been looking at Lang and Shirley’s. My question would be is if they’ve got one similar but with a charcoal grill combo option or not.
Hey, I just came across your video and this Pit.. Quick question, I may have missed it but what exactly is the barrel for? I understand reverse flow but Just haven't never seen this design.. Does it just help circulate the heat and smoke evenly through baffles in the barrel??
Nice pit really wish i could get one.this things amassing but 5 children and 5 grandchildren simply couldn't afford one. if they ever need another spokes person sign me up send me one. and will video kids and i cooking out. 😀 thanks for the video ill be putting some up soon also
Hey Scott Quick question for you, if you had it to do all over again, would you get the same model, or how would you modify your next Shirley? By the way, I've been a huge fan of Dak's since he started playing for your Bulldogs and now that he's my quarterback I couldn't be happier.
Appreciate the comment. I would buy the same model again. It’s perfect for a backyard guy who is cooking for his family and friends. I would definitely upgrade to the stainless front shelf if you can afford it. Stainless is expensive but it’s worth it. I would also add more probe ports and a warmer box for more versatility. I wish Dak well, I hope he has a long successful career. I will always be a fan of his but I am not a cowboys fan. I’ve been a Steelers fan since the 70’s. It’s all good though, to each there own.
I have seen other videos where they are using water in bottom of chamber to add moisture to smoke sessions. Can it hold water? Do you use a water pan? Thanks
I have been waiting 10 months for my Shirley grill and I heard you say 6-8 week turn around. I even paid deposit back in May 2020 and still have no grill.
I don’t think so John. I’ve cooked in 30 degree weather without any problems. At most, maybe go with a 1/2 inch firebox but I would only do that if you live in the north.
I would omit the bottle opener and have a small shelf for my thermometer. I would have extra probe ports. I would absolutely get the stainless front shelf. I would get a hip roof. I would get the off-road wheel package. None of that is necessary of course but it would look bad ass
You won't find this pit at this price point 24”x36” cabinet patio model 3 grates in main chamber Ash pan in FB Heavy Duty fire basket 1 probe port 1 temp gauge on chamber door Bottle opener 8” trailer tires on FB end 10” pneumatic casters on front end Storage on cart frame Removable front expanded metal shelf Sacrificial plate in FB $2450.00 Total
Lone star makes a 24x36 cabinet style and it’s better then Shirley 36 but it cost more because of its standard features. If it was stripped down to what Shirley offers it would cost about the same. Not knocking the Shirley but lsg is way better. Still will get the Shirley because lsg does very little customizing, what you see is what you get.
Fam_Eats_ that is true for got about that lsg is not reverse flow, how much do you think it will add to the price if they add a griddle knock off like lsg has, I thought there was Shirley 36 with a griddle in one of the videos.

That is a dream pit for me. Perfect package with the cart and space. Great choice!
Appreciate your passion for your smoker. I'll still stick with the Lang. Zero complaints.

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate the sincere comment.
Ver impressive build at a reasonable cost. Shirley is doing fantastic work.
Nice video Paul and Tyler would be very happy to hear they have another very happy customer.
Appreciate the comment
man - that is a really nice pit. I have seen a couple Shirleys and they are quality!!

Thanks John. Appreciate the comment. I heard from a little birdie that more modifications are coming in the near future for this pit. Stay tuned!
I'm sold just got to save my pennies so I can get my own thanks.
Looks pretty damn good to me

Thanks joe, appreciate the comment. You are correct about the enhancement. All of that is true
@@fam_eats_4850 So good to hear that. They are definitely the best smokers for the money and the best made with quality better than any I've seen. Thanks again!
Great comment Joe. Agree. And thanks Scott.
Does Shirley sell covers? What are you using for a cover to prevent rust?
I built my own about 15 years ago. But I’ve been looking at Lang and Shirley’s. My question would be is if they’ve got one similar but with a charcoal grill combo option or not.
I dont see this on their website!?😮
#Hailstate!!!!
How do you feed your probes through the port?
for your lawn try dethatching it. Roll once a year when wet after a good downpour
Thanks William for the tip
What temperature variances do you see between the bottom and top rack? I know you stated they are stable, but am curious on the differences.
👍🏾👍🏾
Mention the removable shelf!!!
Would you get one with the hip roof and straight back next time?
Nice pit. Hail State!!
Appreciate the comment
Do you see an advantage to the stainless shelf other than it looks nice and wouldn't rust? Thanks for the video!
Hey Stan, it will be easier to clean than the standard shelf. I posted a follow up video explaining it further
Hey, I just came across your video and this Pit.. Quick question, I may have missed it but what exactly is the barrel for? I understand reverse flow but Just haven't never seen this design.. Does it just help circulate the heat and smoke evenly through baffles in the barrel??
Hey Cameron. Yes, it provides an avenue for the smoke/heat to circulate. It works very well.
Appreciate the comment
Are they still selling this? I didn't see it on their website.
There website hasn’t been updated. Email the owner directly

I totally understand what you mean. It took me awhile to afford one.
I have 6 kids so I know what you mean

Conrad, no it doesn’t hold water. You can however use a water pan.
I have been waiting 10 months for my Shirley grill and I heard you say 6-8 week turn around. I even paid deposit back in May 2020 and still have no grill.
You must have a custom build. There can be up to a 3 yr wait on custom builds
I got my call last week and I put my deposit down 2/19.
Do you think the firebox would need insulated to cook in the 20 and 30 degree weather without killing the wood pile?
I don’t think so John. I’ve cooked in 30 degree weather without any problems.
At most, maybe go with a 1/2 inch firebox but I would only do that if you live in the north.
Can you say what you would build differently on another build? Aesthetically
I would omit the bottle opener and have a small shelf for my thermometer.
I would have extra probe ports.
I would absolutely get the stainless front shelf.
I would get a hip roof.
I would get the off-road wheel package.
None of that is necessary of course but it would look bad ass
Scott, what is the distance between the two back wheels (wide)? I have to get it through a back yard gate.
42 inch wheelbase
42" total? Outside wheel to outside wheel.
I too, would have to fit it in standard treated privacy fence gate.
Hey Scott need a smaller cooker for my catering do you regret not getting SS shelf my jambos have them
Hey Edward, I did get a stainless shelf after the fact and it’s worth it’s weight in gold.
Cleanup is so much easier. I highly recommend one
@@fam_eats_4850 I do t see in your videos
How much does the pit cost and what is the wait time. Also I live in Florida, how would I get it delivered? Thanks and Merry Christmas
Wait time is 6-8 weeks.
Price is $1975 with the standard front shelf.
$2375 with the stainless front shelf
Price has increased now by $400 due increase in metal. It is now $2375 for the basic 24x36.
Hey Scott
Where do you get your shirley fabrication swag, I know where you got your mug from but I'm talking about your shirts and hats.
Hey Dallas, look through the threads in the Facebook group. You will see the info for buying swag.
@@fam_eats_4850 will do and thank you brother..
Hey Scott what other pit have you own to compare this one to
The Shirley is my first true custom offset.
I taught myself how to cook on cheap big box store offsets.
You won't find this pit at this price point 24”x36” cabinet patio model
3 grates in main chamber
Ash pan in FB
Heavy Duty fire basket
1 probe port
1 temp gauge on chamber door
Bottle opener
8” trailer tires on FB end
10” pneumatic casters on front end
Storage on cart frame
Removable front expanded metal shelf
Sacrificial plate in FB
$2450.00 Total
...This man loves his pit, more than his wife, this much I know....
Haha, I do love my pit
Great video’s please keep them coming! Do you leave the pit in the elements or do you cover?
Hey Sam, I have a tarp that works well but sometimes I forget to cover it.
It has been in the rain a few times.
Lone star makes a 24x36 cabinet style and it’s better then Shirley 36 but it cost more because of its standard features. If it was stripped down to what Shirley offers it would cost about the same. Not knocking the Shirley but lsg is way better. Still will get the Shirley because lsg does very little customizing, what you see is what you get.
LSG makes a great pit but they cost more. I guess it comes down to personal preference.
LSG also doesn’t make reverse flow pits.
Fam_Eats_ that is true for got about that lsg is not reverse flow, how much do you think it will add to the price if they add a griddle knock off like lsg has, I thought there was Shirley 36 with a griddle in one of the videos.
I’m hearing that sometime next year they will start offering more upgrades to the 36. Maybe a griddle will be part of that.
How do you get in touch with the company, they are apparently very busy - I’ve sent emails and left voicemails
Tyler@shirleyfabrication.com
He is the owner and will respond
Ash is alkaline not acidic. Either way, it's not good for steel.
How much?
Tracy, they go for $2600
Do you have the email to Tyler at Shirley?
tyler@shirleyfabrication.com
Someone has never heard of Lone Star Grillz.
I know lone star grillz very well.
I will put a Shirley up against a lone star every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
