Thank-you everyone for the positive comments!!! This is my first real video, so I'm truly humbled to read these comments. I'm just doing this as a bit of a hobby and not selling anything at this stage.... Maybe one day!
Takes me back to the day. My uncle was a iron worker all his life. High steel. Had his shop at home. He could build anything. Watching you was watching him all over again. I know he is in slag heaven. You are an artist. Sticks up and burn.
This has got to be the prettiest barbecue ever built. I'm glad you're not selling it. "The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits!" This is simplicity at its elegant best.
Well done mate.. No frills and unnecessary boring talk show, just straight to the point and simple as.. Vedio footage and quality of work extremely great.. Well done.. 💯 👏
A proper old school engineer that can work with wood also didn't see a cnc machine anywhere all by hand turning and fabricating. Excellent work top quality a pleasure to watch
It's a great time to be alive. DIY anything. I get asked why don't you just buy it. But there is satisfaction you get even you build it yourself. Nice job boss.
Just wanted to say that this is one of the BEST smoker build videos I've seen yet. I actually feel like I could to this myself now. (We'll see!) Thank you for using a stationary camera mount and not try to hold a crap cell phone as you attempt to cut or weld and ramble nonsensically in an attempt to explain your process. Seriously, this is a GREAT video. Hope you make more!
Very nice...I built an identical one, but located the smoke stack towards the front ( firebox) top side. I welded a 1/4" plate on the bottom, sealed the firebox side, and left open the far side so the plate would heat and the smoke was forced under/over the 1/4", over the meat, and exhausted back towards the firebox...
I must say , I'm almost moved to tears by your workmanship. That grill is built like a tank and will last for many moons. I'm truly impressed , well done sir. 😎
I am humbled by your elegance & skills! I'm very proud of what you've accomplished building this & I bet you're still using that same smoker today! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Good job Sir. On the cooker and the video. Goes to show you that a big script is not needed when you have a skill to show. It would look great in my backyard too!Thanks.
Dude great video.simple, not filled with all that commentary that's just used to get a video over 10 minutes. I was so into this that I cant believe I just watched a 16 minute video.
Dude! I thoroughly enjoyed the video, watching how you made this amazing looking smoker. I got into meat smoking a few years ago and use a cheap electric cabinet smoker and have been thinking of graduating up to a real smoker and building one of my own. Yours looks really robust and sturdy, good idea using an old compressor tank with its high carbon steel for the smoke chamber. Very, very impressive. That puppy will out live you I think! Well done and greetings from Great Britain!
This is a lost art. You've inspired me to build one, now I just need all the tools you have, and a place to do the work. I'm sure it'll come out exactly the same.
Nice craftsmanship. Enjoy actually hearing the work being done instead of a lot of annoying music. Ballpark⁰ of time ad money. Again great work and video.
Now that's what I call a Handy Man! A little more than a 44Gal drum cut in half. That was sensational, fantastic - well done to you Sir. I just love the finished product, very nice.
Awesome build. I just started mine but I’m stumped as to how to do the grates but you used a simple and elegant solution that I believe I will borrow. Thanks!
Man, I’ve watched a LOT of smoker build videos but this is hands down the best I’ve seen. You have phenomenal fabrication skills and that’s the nicest DIY smoker I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing.
I've watched a lot of these offset builds, some from pipe some from propane tanks. The way you put the rods together with spacers for your cooking grate was genius, and truly sets you apart from the guys making angle iron and expanded metal grates. Erock should watch this video. I still scratch my head at Erockxs vid, cutting the pipe in half all ghe way and having it spring open..... I don't have the tools or skills, so watching a guy as smart and skilled as he is doing that was mind boggling.
Hands down....THE BEST offset smoker build I've seen on TH-cam and trust me, I've watched at least 30 different ones!!! Some from people who are supposed to be the best smoker builders from the USA. Not one of them has that unique design for the fire box.....absolutely smashed it mate!!! Well done!!!
That was a lot of work and planning to make your smoker man, great job! What do you like and dislike after using it? Also, are you happy with the food it produces!?
I am a steel fabricator and this has got to be the best video of someone making a smoker I’ve seen on TH-cam. Don’t know if this is your profession but it definitely should be.
@@rafidalsabak4645 I own a custom smoker. 36"x24"x24" Vertical, 1/4" steel with 2'x'2x22" 1/2" thick steel fire box from Lonestargrillz. $700-900 won't buy that pit. That looks like about a 20x32, 20x36? without casters, expect to pay a bare minimum of $1150-$1350 for the one he just built. 10 years ago you might have picked one up for as low as $900 but not now. I have not kept up with what the trade war with China has done to steel prices.......could be 10-15% more. A well built pit made of heavy materials holds consistent temps and for a longer period of time. The steel absorbs the heat and re-radiates it back onto the food giving you a very even cook compared to those tin cans from the lumber stores. A few winters ago it was 29 deg here in SW Louisiana and I wanted brisket (I'am from Texas). That pit never missed a beat. They are worth every dime. I paid about $2475 with options back in 2010 and it would run about $3400 now...............I'd still pay it and never blink and I make less than 45k a year.
Hola Brian donde puedo conseguir un compresor de 60 galónes yo Vivo en el Estado de Minnezota y me interesó él vídeos yo tengo una máquina de soldadura de alambre no de varilla y quiero diseñar mi propio asador
I could do this way better of I wanted too... But I wouldn't bc I could go to Walmart and buy one for 1/4 of the cost and problay b 4xs lighter also. Awesome job though dude mad skills bro. And yes I would go to Walmart bc I would never b able to do this lol thumbs up man👍👍👍🤙😎
This man put a lot of time & effort into putting it together. Took no short cuts. Adding the wood gave a detail effect. Looks better than the grill/smoker you buy. 👍👍👍 My personal opinion....
jtchristiank1 great build .: grates should have prob went north and south instead of left to right .. makes it easier to scoop burgers with a spatula... otherwise good job
That's one beautiful smoker, good design and bloody well built. Thanks for sharing 👍 ... And I bet that Great Northern went down well with whatever just came out of the BBQ 😀
Very nice work. I built mine bbq grill as a hobby also. This will be my next project as I myself have been researching on TH-cam on how to build one. So far yours is the model I will use.
Thank-you everyone for the positive comments!!! This is my first real video, so I'm truly humbled to read these comments. I'm just doing this as a bit of a hobby and not selling anything at this stage.... Maybe one day!
TJMake have you got a setnof drawings for the smoker mate? Love the video we want our own offset smoker
Sorry, no plans. I just made it up as I went along. I referred to other TH-cam builds and used the Feldon’s Calculator for sizing.
That was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful work.
Good job, man. Here in Brazil, this type of bbq became a fever.
Waoo that's great to see..
Takes me back to the day. My uncle was a iron worker all his life. High steel. Had his shop at home. He could build anything. Watching you was watching him all over again. I know he is in slag heaven. You are an artist. Sticks up and burn.
Im just blown away. Taking it back to the good ol days where you do it yourself. Great craftsmanship!!!
This has got to be the prettiest barbecue ever built. I'm glad you're not selling it. "The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits!" This is simplicity at its elegant best.
Some how they always look better with a beer sitting on them lol, great build 👍
Well done mate.. No frills and unnecessary boring talk show, just straight to the point and simple as.. Vedio footage and quality of work extremely great.. Well done.. 💯 👏
Whenever you do decide to start selling, let us know brother, nice build
Jeremy im with you its real nice im no grill master but I would love to learn how to grill ribs n chicken.. that looks like it will get the job done.
A proper old school engineer that can work with wood also didn't see a cnc machine anywhere all by hand turning and fabricating. Excellent work top quality a pleasure to watch

Having a workshop like that is a thing of beauty
The algorithm brought me here but the quality craftsmanship kept me watching. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.
Very nice...I built an identical one, but located the smoke stack towards the front ( firebox) top side. I welded a 1/4" plate on the bottom, sealed the firebox side, and left open the far side so the plate would heat and the smoke was forced under/over the 1/4", over the meat, and exhausted back towards the firebox...
A sense of pride making something from an idea in your head...Also, you are a talented person fro being able to make that grill as well...well done..
This by far the best self-build smoker video on TH-cam.
Many thanks for making this informative and quality video.
It's like watching Stone Cold Steve Austin 3:16 building a grill. Can I get a Hell Yeah!? Good job, I am truly inspired.
This is what older people mean when they say “son they don’t make em like this anymore”
Not sure how I got here. But stayed till the end. Good job 👍🏻
From a bbq eating Texan you sir are a skilled craftsman, artist, and an inspiration!
I must say , I'm almost moved to tears by your workmanship. That grill is built like a tank and will last for many moons. I'm truly impressed , well done sir. 😎
Holy crap thats a weapon of a smoker, man you have some skills
ABSOLUTELY love the ingenuity and OUTSTANDING craftsmanship my good man! Thanks for sharing...
I am humbled by your elegance & skills! I'm very proud of what you've accomplished building this & I bet you're still using that same smoker today! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You, sir, are an artist. Very well done and enjoyable to watch. Also, thanks for not adding any annoying music.
you are a true engineer absolutely amazing range of skills. Not just the welding!
Good job Sir. On the cooker and the video. Goes to show you that a big script is not needed when you have a skill to show. It would look great in my backyard too!Thanks.

I’ve seen this video 3 times now. Still one of my favorites. Well done sir
You truly are a king amongst men sir
Some serious skills and tools, I really enjoyed that.
That wood you added, complimented everything so well!!
I can’t believe all the work and craftsmanship that went into just the handle! Awesome build.
An absolute pleasure to watch your video. You have a work of art.
You're a true Craftsman.

Nice pit! I really like how you designed the fire box! Scoring and bending certainly saves on a lot of welding. Thanks for soing the video, bud
Start selling them you will make money
We’re happy to pay for quality, and that’s quality
This is my first ever you tube comment. Better make it memorable ......
That was good. Really good.
Welcome to the DARK side
It's all downhill from here.
Wowww..

Best bbq build video I’ve seen on TH-cam. Good job! 👍🏻
You my friend said more than any other video I’ve seen with out saying anything. Loved it.
Very nice! I've had half a eye out for an old propane tank for years now with the same idea in mind. Something for your grandkids to inherit!
That's a nice smoker.
Dude... That was awesome... the wood fittings really set it off... a thing of beauty... well done!!!
Fantastic job! Your hinges were a clever trick, heavy duty. Good skills, that smoker will last a lifetime.
Awesome job, you have real talent!
fantastic..... greetings from Guayaquil Ecuador
Man, I’ve watched a LOT of smoker build videos but this is hands down the best I’ve seen. You have phenomenal fabrication skills and that’s the nicest DIY smoker I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing.
Maximum respect! The satisfaction each time you use it is immeasurable. Enjoy all the food that is cooked in it. From the UK.
Really great work it looks amazing!! I wish I knew how to build a smoker lol
Chris Hernandez he just showed you 👀
that was so satisfying to watch, cheers.

... That special kind of craftsmanship when you know he didn’t build it because it was cheaper, he built it because it’s better!
Loved this project, thanks for sharing!!
DE POCA MADRE, SUPERCHINGON
Nicely done. I do have to add that you were very prepared. It's nice to have all the right tools for the job! 😉
Great craftsmanship and great video! Glad you showed it in action at the end.
I’m at a loss for words. I’m feeling a lot of inadequacy right now. Lol!
VERY VERY NICE. 10++
What a work of Art! Completely awesome. I would buy this exact smoker.

I'm 3 minutes in and wondering why anyone would downvote this.
Bravissimo!!! Complimenti
Wow, the sense of pride every time you look at that BBQ must be immense. Great to see you used all the safety gear too when making it. Well done.
Excellent craftsmanship! You've got a good shop to do it in too.
Awesome Man!!!
That was a lot of work and planning to make your smoker man, great job!
What do you like and dislike after using it? Also, are you happy with the food it produces!?
Thanks mate, I'm happy with it so far, the cook chamber could be a bit bigger though.
Great video! How big is the cooking chamber?
You have inspired me to make my own back in the U. k. Better than any I've seen being sold. Some build 👊
I am a steel fabricator and this has got to be the best video of someone making a smoker I’ve seen on TH-cam. Don’t know if this is your profession but it definitely should be.
nice . . . but when you started in on that wood with the lathe i wondered "is he making custom firewood?"
Awesome
Somewhere, Ric Flair is going “Woooo!”
Awesome build.
This is what BUILD QUALITY is all about. Thanks boss👍 Big up!!👍
Sir how can I buy one of these smokers from you
I'm also Interested!
J Money how much $$
@@rafidalsabak4645 personally, I would pay him 500-700. It's tenfold better than any 55 gallon drum or any Oklahoma Joe available.
I'm also interested in one of those pits.

Hola Brian donde puedo conseguir un compresor de 60 galónes yo Vivo en el Estado de Minnezota y me interesó él vídeos yo tengo una máquina de soldadura de alambre no de varilla y quiero diseñar mi propio asador
brian, I made a smoker out of a 20 gallon tank. works like a gem!
The fact that one person is capable of building something like this is remarkable. Precision work
This grill will last for years....great job
I could do this way better of I wanted too... But I wouldn't bc I could go to Walmart and buy one for 1/4 of the cost and problay b 4xs lighter also. Awesome job though dude mad skills bro. And yes I would go to Walmart bc I would never b able to do this lol thumbs up man👍👍👍🤙😎
This guy is a man among men. Good job on the smoker.
Great custom grill and you are quite the craftsman! Thanks for the great video!
U should sell them
Can you sell it to me?
I wish I had your skills and tools sir.
Great Job 👍
That's a beautiful build. The metal and wood lathe work shows nice detail in your work.
What's that liquid just running into the ground?
Prolly something dangerous but he's American he doesn't give a flying fuck
Being a gas cylinder he filled it with soapy water to avoid any explosion from sparks etc even though there was no gas init
@@htothek9780 I'm Australian mate ;-)
@@TJMake doesn't make it better
Water, but not sure what is added - for a job like that you could use waste water. This guy is wicked smaht.
Dude you are amazing! I'm still in shock God has blessed you with a gift and I can see you didn't though it by the wast side. This video was awesome!
Wow! That is a thing of beauty. Well done mate. I want one right now!
Really nice job. You fabricated all of it, hinges, handles and all. That's super impressive.
This is the best how to build a bbq pit video I have seen
You, sir, are a great craftsman! Hat off!
This man put a lot of time & effort into putting it together. Took no short cuts. Adding the wood gave a detail effect. Looks better than the grill/smoker you buy. 👍👍👍 My personal opinion....
I think I was most impressed you made your own grates.

I always said I need a hobby...here it is! Thanks
Wow! I couldn’t look away lol. What a masterful job sir! You are a true craftsman.
Very nice work. I built mine bbq grill as a hobby also. This will be my next project as I myself have been researching on TH-cam on how to build one. So far yours is the model I will use.
I wish we'd come back to the time we could all build something for our loved ones for Christmas.
