The appearance is fine. It has that old time rustic look to it. That's the beauty of it. 🔥
I really appropriate the effort to document and share all your trials and errors, this is how real experience gained in life. overall this is grate project and I'm glad it went well with you.
Love the honesty in the build, covered lots of points. Well done. The feast at the end 😂
Awesome build. Most people wouldn't even think about attempting something like this.
This is THE BEST video I have seen about how to build a smoker. I really appreciate that you showed your mistakes and how you fixed them. So many people don't do that. I can't wait to build one! Thank you so much!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and let me know how yours turns out!
What a great job. Now I've got to go back and watch part 1 and 2.
This man is dedicated...ran into every problem you can think of....good thing I watched this though cause I am going to attempt this and have no experience in any of this
Man, I appreciate the amount of detail and realism that went into these videos. Your videos were a great find, and exactly what I look for in DIY videos. The trial and error with included thought process for improvements is gold for someone looking to start a design and is rarely included in a DIY video. Subscribed.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed my design process.
My thoughts as well. I especially enjoyed the what I'd do differently comments
Just watched part 3 man. It came out great!!!! Appreciate your comments about it all!! Really helpful!! Hope you have many cook outs!!!👍👍👍God Bless you!!
Thank you! Enjoy watching it and listening to all you learned.
Legit DIY. Was looking for ideas for brick BBQ & having a smoker attached. Thanks for the video dude.
Yo great tutorial! Thanks for not shying away from showing your mistakes like some people would. Really feels like youve got pretty complete documentation of how to build a quality smoker now
Excellent job. That’s something to be proud of. Thanks for taking the time to walk us through the project.
That’s pretty sweet. Great tutorial and I love that you included any issues and trouble shooting that needed to be taken care of. Most people edit it like every works out perfectly haha. I want to build one. Instead of the pipe for the heat intake i think I would build the fire box and cook chamber fully connected and with a larger opening for the heat to go through. You can always slide the fire closer or away from the cook chamber with a shovel.
Great project! I think I am going to try this. Thanks so much for such a complete project video.
I've watched all three of these. I have to tell you how glad I am that you talked about what you had to change. It was very real. Thank you!
You’re Welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
I really appreciate your video with some mistakes and then your improvements. A really DIY project.
And the ribs, I would love having them.
Cheers mate!
That smoker is awesome. Nice work. Definitely want to try something like that.
I have watched all 3 parts! Awesome man! I’m going to build a brick surround for my propane grill and this has got my wheels turning. I love how real you tell it! I could listen and watch over and over. Enjoy your work.
Thanks!
This is great ! I love the editing
Super cool! Thanks for taking us along and not editing out any of the boo-boos! You did a great job documenting it all. I'm gonna try and build one come summer using your method. I think it's really great man. I'll keep you posted on my progress!
Glad you enjoyed & definitely keep updated on the progress!
Love your videos man!
Great video! Man, them ribs shole do look good. Glad the temps are working good now.
Good series of videos on this. Good work. Thanks.
Love the music and the editing
Excellent videos, I enjoyed your thoroghness. I also appreciated you showing the short comings and creating improvements to the finished product you have. Awfully nice job buddy. Lots of trial and error to a beautiful finish. I may try this one from so many I have viewed.
Looks nice, think I’ve got a winter project now! Nice job!
Being a bricklayer for 30 years hats off to you
It looks amazing
Thanks for the video! I’m definitely going to make one!
Thanks for putting this up
Hey brother, a heartfelt thanks for sharing, I admire how you approached making improvements to your design, you are indeed an humble man, your smoker looks awesome!!!!! Happy cooking to you my friend!!!!
Thanks Jason!! That means a lot!
Good Job Man. Congrats!
Ya brother, Best Smoker built I have seen. I love your honesty on the few little mistakes you make.. Yours looks great. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours.. Thank You
love the vids dude
Awesome job and all three videos. Looks for the most part are not as important as functionality. Being able to say you made this is something to be proud of no matter how it looks.
Thanks for sharing your video! I am in Montana and researching a similar design, so it was good to watch this video. Since I would like to use this year round, I'm thinking about adding a propane burner as well. Years ago, my Grandfather had a pit BBQ, but he didn't like the draw on that, so I know this was an important part of the design. Nice on the brisket (my favorite!) & the ribs! :)
Good job. You earned those ribs man. You and everyone who helped you build that.
Again, great project. You definitely learned the hard way by trial and error, but you figured it all out as you went along. Better than I could have done, for sure! Thanks for sharing this!
You’re Welcome! I make the mistakes so you guys can do it right from the start!
Thank you for sharing your video, I leave in panama 🇵🇦 trying to build my own smoker. Nicely done, hopefully mine works the same way 👍👍
It’s fire 🔥 man Nices work
Side note . The length of your exhaust stack directly influences the draft through the firebox
Well done sir, I hope mine will turn out as good, thanks for sharing!
I love how you explain things. Great videos!
Thanks Judah! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Nice work! I love how you were doing all of this for your mom. Very good project
Thank You!
Well done!
Man the thing looks great don't be hard on yourself! Want to make one myself now
Love the detail! Very informative and helpful!
Thanks Ronald!!
Came out good bro you did really good
What a great job and tutorial. Mistakes and all! Thank you!!!🙌🏽
You’re Welcome, Thanks for Watching!
You might keep the firebox door open more during cooks to feed the fire more oxygen and to better complete the flow from firebox to smokebox to chimney. Chimney is great addition
Appreciate the upload the smoker is looking good Bro!!! A prep table would be a good idea and maybe some type cover for the area like a pergola if you get a lot of sun.
This it’s so cool!
Thanks for sharing the build. I was thinking of buying a smoker but then thought someone may have built one and you did. I'll be trying this at my new house.
You’re Welcome! Let me know how yours turns out!
Great Job Sir, Your Project turned out great - you provided some good insight to my future DIY projects....👍🏽
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
No idea why this was in my suggested videos. Watched all 3 parts. Great videos bud! Trial and error, I want one for Salmon and Moose eventually.
Nice video. Like the trial and error as well as your personal opinion and recommendations.
Thanks!!
Good job... gonna build this.
the chimney and the damper are for sure the things you needed. awesome job man. I had a little barrel smoker that rusted out...for the cost of materials vs what they want for a new smoker, I think I'm going to go this route.
Thanks!!
I felt like I was there. Great Video!!! Im gonna use this video to build mine!!!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Nice chimney
I really liked and laughed at the scene of you rubbing your hands in front of the ribs.
I was excited about those ribs!😂😂
Well Done 👍
Really enjoyed the video.👏👏👍👍🇺🇸❤
Nice - I have wanted to do this....
Just finishes me mine 👌👌
That was just awesome. Made me laugh when the roof came loose lol. I love when happy little accidents happen that make the job easier.
I was a little mad when it first happened but it ended up working out!
Beutiful smoker i might add👍
Nice....
I like your work good job
Thanks!!
Great talent
Thank You!!
Critiquing oneself afterwards is a good quality . It is a key to growing and developing in skills and life . One day you will tear it all down and rebuild your dream smoker , I sense it. . I noticed your tshirt in the beginning of the video ( old AF vets eye ) . Are You part of team blue ? Well thanks for a great video. Bonjour de Louisiane !
i am thinking of building something like this since unable to buy a commercial smoker seen at home depot the Louisiana smoker (hasn't been available to buy). i figure be a bit cheaper. think i would have the fire box right next to food box, a square opening with shelf for steam pan ( i like beer for steaming with smoke) into food box. the intake to fire box, same pipe with dampener, the exhaust lower so smoke fills chamber with dampener so have control intake/exhaust. when i use charcoal, will let get white then add wood (hopefully fresh cut green so really smolders). sure glad came across your build, you did a nice job, looks good.
Thank you brother mine up and running ? I see ppl comment using fire bricks I didn’t yet add any but I did build mines with longer pipe and up higher plus the firebox had a stainless grain in back and I’m attacking a slider door to control the amount of oxygen going in
Great build man, glad you got it working better. If you ever make another raise your exhaust vent from the fire side as you said and know heat rises :) Once I get a house I will have to build me one. Look forward to your future builds or if you make some BBQ vids I am going to view as well. Peace brother
Really good project,who cares it ain’t straight,the whole worlds wonky,those ribs looked mega,all the best from the UK 🇬🇧👍👍👍
Thank you I’m building mines now 👌👌
You’re Welcome! and let me know how yours turn out.
@@FromTheGroundUpDIY I will
Good job 👍
Thanks David!!
@@FromTheGroundUpDIY your welcome, gonna give it a whirl maybe this summer
Cool, I’m going to need to demo and repair a section of my block wall, and use some of the recovered block for an “L” shaped BBQ. My cousin is a mason and will do all the skilled work, but I am going to talk him in to topping the L with a block smoke house, using covered channel from the BBQ fire pit to the base of the smoker.
hi cool project how many bricks did you use
Bro...... can u do a step by step on smoking woth this smoker????....imean temperature and all
Would the chimney work better if the hole in the brick were higher? Just curious. (Or do you want smoke stuck above the chimney pipe inside the box?)
If you ever make another one , use the ceramic chimney square pipe, it would last for ever ....
It won’t rust or nothing ......
you did an awesome job ....👍
🔥🔥🔥
Are you able to use this smoker during the winter?
Congratulations! I hope the novel I wrote for your part 2 video provided useful information if not just inspiration to help you modify your beast. I tried my best to stick to commenting on the smoker functionality as my father was a bricklayer so...
Thanks and your advice really did help!
I'm gonna go ahead and try to make some ribs that look like those
Why use refactory cement? All the mortar doesn't use it - right?
Nice build
But personally I'd have tiles lining the inner of the smoker for a cleaner inside. It will also create more steam as the tiles will be sweating
Just one question... how's the food? I have an offset smoker but I'm looking to do a similar build. Great info!
The food was good, just make sure you use wood with a mild smoke flavor. Using a combination of wood and charcoal worked best for me!
Chimney might give better draw power. 2/3/4 foot chimney. Might help
I noticed in part 2 you showed a part where you had coals in the food storage side. How did it go when smoking as your heat and smoke source were on that side? I was planning on making a 6ft tall single stage smoker where the charcoal and wood would be in the bottom, then a water pan and then maybe 6 racks of meat. I would think that you wouldn’t burn though as much charcoal or wood this way. When ever I see an offset smoker they are just burning though coals and wood. My Chargriller Akorn is very efficient.
Before I added the chimney, I was burning through wood and charcoal like crazy because the heat wasn’t being pulled over to the other side well. Now that I got the chimney, I burn through much less.
@@FromTheGroundUpDIY what do you think about using a single tower with the wood and coals elevated off the ground, a water pan a foot above it and then racks every 9 inches or so? Think it will be too hot in there or too hard to control temp?
what we learned today?
start all already thinking ahead, or it's a mess to fix!
but good job!
This is awesome !
Question: How many bricks were used?
how many hours were put in to complete your smoker??
Im trying to estimate and budget a smoker to build this upcoming spring with completion goal before memorial weekend
Thanks Danny! I used approximately 100 bricks for the firebox side & 230 bricks for the food storage side. I recommend getting 10% to 20% more than what you need! I ended up up wasting a good amount of bricks due to them breaking when trying to use my masonry chisel.
I’m not exactly sure on how many hours it would take to build it. It took me a couple of months to get it done. During the week, I would work on it 2 to 3 hours a day after I got off of work and on the weekends I would work on it 8 to 10 hours a day. It also took me that long due to design issues that came along the way and finding solutions to those issues.
I'm really glad you decided to use the mortar over the foam. My fear is that when the foam gets hot, it will "gas off" toxic fumes into your meats and ruin everything. Remember, smoking meats isn't a beauty contest, no one will care what it looks like when they're smiling & licking their fingers. Great job man. Add a pizza oven.
just put some render on your brick work mate will look tops as
I have a brick smoker I built in 2010 and the fire chamber is in the rebuilding process my biggest concern is the foam you used to seal and also you can put cement to seal holes but you will have to do maintenance every year on your cracks if you are in an area that freezes in winter. The water that freezes will destroy your brick work and the only way to keep up with it is to keep sealing with cement/ mortar . If you want to see my design let me know info@pointtees.com and I will send you pics of it now and when finished. My racks can be pulled out so you don't get blinded by the skoke
I didn't know there was such a thing as "TOO smokey". My plan if for a grill on one side and a pizza oven on the other side (for bread and pizza since I am into sourdough}. Underneath each of those will be firewood and charcoal storage and there will be a work slab of marble to work and proof the dough with a shelf underneath for some dishes and utensils....sigh....after all that ADD a sink. After all that you will have a complete outdoor kitchen so just cover it with a ramada or a palapa.
////////Then you will need chairs, lounger, table, hot tub, pool......the dreams are endless.
I lost it when the roof slab came loose lmao
That will suck some air
