- So this is just a video documenting the process of building this bbq/food smoker! It has been around 2 weeks maybe more working about an hour or two a day, this has been a great project that will be very useful to have. We will be able to smoke the fish that we catch from our kayaking trip and we can BBQ. Thanks to matt for helping out with a couple of things liike the tray for the BBQ and some of the last little bit of lifting. It will probably make for some future videos as the door needs to be added and there could be some smoking tutorials to come, hope you enjoy the video though.
I would build one if I was handy enough to figure out how you put a circular hole through brick. Love this video
Cool smoker. Reminds me of back in the old days, we built one out of an old refrigerator, 1/2 steel barrel, some scrap sheet metal and a pipe for the smoke to pass through. We smoked a lot of turkeys, meat and fish. Happy cooking, Chefs .
Yea it is nice to have! We mostly smoke fish in ours, especially if we catch any from our kayaking trips! Thanks for your comment!
WOW,,, NOW THAT IS A VEEEEERY NICE SMOKER/GRILL,,, YOU DEFINITELY INSPIRED ME TO BUILD ONE... THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS BEAUTY... 👍👏👏👏🤜🤛
I am glad you appreciate it and I'm glad we could inspire you, it Is definitely something nice to have for when you want to mix things up with a smokey taste and of course the BBQ gets a lot of use in the summer months, thanks for the comment!
Really cool video you posted here. I appreciate all the work that went into filming and editing. Thanks for sharing
Great brickwork. You guys paid attention to the aesthetics and it shows. For future reference the base of the smoke chamber needs to be higher than the firebox. And the smoke chamber needs an elevated exhaust above the cap/ceiling of the smoke chamber to create proper draw and air flow from the firebox. So a chimney type flue is required. And aluminum doesn’t mix with fire and cooking unless it’s rated for food prep. Other than that you guys make a challenging diy project look easy!! Congrats.!!!!🎉🎈🍾🎊
You are teaching your kids such good useful skill good on you
thanks for posting this, great project. Looks like you're in the UK, if it was me I'd be building a tiled roof over all of that to keep the wretched weather off all that good work
Yea that would be a great idea, at the minute we are using a tarp to cover it so it keeps the British weather off of it! Thanks for your comment mate!
Fire chamber should have been set at a lower height and the smoking chamber should have a chimney which would help create draw.
Simple and nice. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not criticizing at all, Excellent effort, terrible design. There is an easy fix to this without destroying all of your hard work. I would keep the fire box side as a grill, take the crossover tube out and build another fire box on the smoker side and use it as a stand alone smoker. Proper venting and this would be an awesome looking and functional Smoker. I have built many smokers and I find most people over think the basics of how a smoker actually works. Keeping it simple almost always works better in the end. Awesome looking set up and a great project idea!!!!! Nice Job!!!
Amazing bricks
Nice idea, excellent work, looks good..............My respect !!
Pipe needs to be higher but it looks real nice great job guys
I don't know what part of the workd you live in but you have a beautiful home and I would definitely lime to pay you a visit.... I live in Dallas, Texas, USA....Well Done!!!
Thanks for the comment man and thanks for the nice words! Im going to be honest though it would take you a while to get here XD we live in north west england! Thanks again!
JW Kayaking great father and son time! the world needs men like this!
Looks really good, You have give me a job t do now.
Maybe if you try to cover some of the vents, and remove the wood chips from the tray you’ll get a better fire and smoke as well. Just a suggestion
Yolanda Cordero i agree
I love this design
Well done lads...great job 👍
Thanks, hope you enjoyed the video!
Great job guys
Fix the poor air flow by priming the smoke chamber. Prime it by heating it up first with some charchoal/small fire. This will create a suction from the smoke chamber and positive air flow. Just like a vertical chimney and fire place. The flue door needs the chimney primed in the same way!
Note: meat chamber (left side) needs priming first. Sorry I referenced both as smoke chambers.
Beautiful job, wish I had that talent. Sir, what was that orange compound you put under your supporting blocks at the bottom on top of your gravel?
The door of the fire chamber should be sealed so that the smoke that coming out from it will not disturb the one who is making grill
Not to knock but yur smoke box needed to be higher with the pipe
Looks like a great BBQ kit. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share the dimensions and a material list. I would like to build the thing in backyard. Thanks mate. Cheers!
I like the concept but the design needs to be re-worked. Great father-son project though that was my favorite part.
Just an honest question...why not put the smoker right next to the fire box instead of a couple feet away?
Nice smoker but I would skip that aluminium and plastic for sure. Not the best things to mix with heat and food if you like a healthy life.
The harth should have been built on 3 causes of bricks with an air vent and chamber running directly underneath the fire for great air flow and a vent controller at the entry. The air would flow so much better
Valient effort but super leaky door and very weak airflow, it seems. Do you have any way of controlling temp in smoking chamber via vents etc?
Hey man thanks for the comment! Its funny you bring up these points, on our channel there is another video on fixing some problems that we have had after building it. Most if not all the points you just made were covered in the video, Thanks again for your comment! Here is a link to that video! th-cam.com/video/IMQUXpUbxVc/w-d-xo.html
AWESOME!
Smoke box would benefit by putting a 3" by 3' draw chiming. Good job though.
You should take out the box which you put in the wood chips cause smoke always goes up and not down
Thanks for the suggestion, we only used the box because it was what was to hand at the time of testing it out. Thanks for your comment though!
George C smoke travels in all directions! there is not enough space the smoke moves. get it😱
Smoke travels where the air travels
smokehouse needs a chimney with a dampner, and the crosspipe should be at the top of the fire box, not at the bottom. Otherwise great looking design.
It looks really goodbut In my opinion I think the somoker should be a bit higher off the ground due to the fact that heat rises. Not critizing.
Its for cold smoking. Heat not required.
I wonder if you can harvest wood vinegar, in bettween the fire and smoke chamber?
smoke chamber pipe has too low of an angle on it. when he puts a door on it he will get no air flow therefore no low amount of smoke.
Fair point, although when we have tested the smoker and used it it has been fine in fact it has been better than fine bringing more than enough smoke through, we have used/tested it many times and as far as I am aware we have had no problems but we will be sure to keep an eye on that! Thanks for your comment
wish it would have been explaining i couldn't follow too good with shaky camera -but like the idea-
Awesome!
Thank you!
great job, i would like to build one just like it in my back yard. Is there a way to get the measurements for the whole project?
There is probably a way to get all the measurements needed although when we did ours we did all the measurements as we were doing it, which could have been a bit risky but it all went according to plan for us!
How is the concrete slab on the fire chamber holding up to the heat. I've built one with a concrete slab covering the fire chamber and my friend said concrete can explode or deteriorate under the heat. If yours is holding up I know I don't need to worry.
We haven't had any Issues at all with deterioration, It is totally up to you what you use, It might be worth it to use something different for the peace of mind. If you are going to be using it very often you might see different results regarding the wear and tear of the materials used. Sorry for the late reply!
Don't seem like the design for the smoker idea work very well but the pit was nice
i think there is.a.tecnical.fault pipe must put of.up side of.burner and smoker must start from the roof level.of burner then.smoke wil.move easily to.smoker
Did you find a solution to the smoke leaking out of the door?
I'm thinking of doing something like this next year, and wondering if fire rope would work?
Also what temperature are you aiming for in the smoking compartment?
Very nice job!
Hey, I am sorry for the late reply. I havent been on my account in a while. Firstly what door do you mean? I am assuming you mean the little black one where you put the chippings into, for that I think we kept the tape on because it works for the time being. I am personally not too clued up about fire rope or things like it but I am sure it is worth a try! The temperature that we want to achieve is probably high 20's low 30's (°C) because that is the best for smoking the fish we intend to smoke, thanks for your comment and if you want to see some more somking videos let me know :)
That was the door I was thinking of.
I'm not sure if it is fire rope, it's what's used for log burners, thought it may do the trick on something like this?
would be good to see the project in action after it being up for a while!
is there anything that you would do different if you was to do this again?
I will have to look into the rope situation maybe it could work out for the best!
Like I said I will try and get some more smoker videos out because we might be adding a fan system so all the smoke will be forced into where the fish is getting smoked so no smoke is wasted If that makes sense!
Honestly there wouldnt be anything that we would do differently everything went well and went to plan and since it all works perfectly nothing jumps out as something we would do differently! Thanks for your comment!
I want to see more. Actually, I was wondering what materials you used for all of this.
An oven rubber door seal will do nicely, available on Amazon.
Put an fan on the side to help blow the smoke thro an job don
love the artwork. but where is the smoke meat? LOL
Dobra robota👍👍👍
Dzięki Ci! Mam nadzieję, że podobało Ci się film
if the smoker door is open you will not have enough draft for the smoke.
We fixed all the draft issues and al;l the smoke leakage issues in a recent video :)
In another video on the channel we address this issue, give it a look in!
Was that chicken cooking above the meat? That grossed me out. I just pictured chicken juice dropping down on the burgers and brats. 🤮
I like the smoker though.
Oh, no! Don't use zink (zinked) metal when smoking. It's not good for health ;)
What's your top cap just concrete
Hi,
Looks good.
What did you use for the pipe to move the smoke across?
Thinking of building something similar.
Hey. thanks your comment! This is the link to another smoker video of ours which we show how we do that! th-cam.com/video/IMQUXpUbxVc/w-d-xo.html You should go for it, we had a good time making ours and it brings some good flavor to the fish we smoke!
I like it , I'm trying to make grill with bars for long skewers, but I wanted a slab for the roof, what size is slab and what's the bars made out of, need it to be able to take the heat
Not enough draw. Shame with all the hard work that went into it. Am electric fan might help.
Yea we did find that to be an issue, which is why we quickly corrected it and made this video th-cam.com/video/IMQUXpUbxVc/w-d-xo.html
Check it out!!
Lots of fundamental design flaws in the fire box.
Temperaturu meriš u Celsius °C , na roštilju ti se nalaze pljeskavice i ćevapi ... :)
Odakle si ti?
Ја сам из Енглеске, хвала за ваш коментар и надам се да сте уживали у видео
JW Kayaking I'm from Serbia :)
Oh cool! its nice to see my video is making it to all kinds of people :)
The smoke pipe is not in a good position where smoke flows naturally... The smoke wud naturally go out somewhere before it chooses to go i to the pipe
Sans la musique ça aurait été meilleur
Your pipe to the smoke chamber should have been higher up so that it can draw better...
what is the name of the song that starts at 5:47?
The song is called Tuscon by Silent Partner. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/39vlw5aqzhY/w-d-xo.html But if you just type Tuscon - Silent partner in youtube then you should get it. Thanks for you comment!
wish u had added verbal instructions instead of music
Yea, I wish I did as well, If I had of known before hand how many people would watch this video. I, without a doubt, would have done a more instructional video with verbal instructions! Especially since a lot of the people watched this video in hope of verbal instructions!
Yea I wish I had of done verbal instructions. If I ever do another video on smokers I definitely wont be using the music XD
Chyba troche nie wyszło rura powinna być nieco wyżej i pod kontem
Between the plastic cover, zinc smoke, and Ecoli, just from unsafe cooking practices, I like your chances for poisoning someone. Happy smoking!
Dirty Birdy FUCKN GUY 😂🤣😂🤣
Very poor design...more smoke leaves via the 'fresh air intake' ports than by the intended smoke channel. Don't get me started on the doors.
Hello are you scouse
