Weekend #3 progress of me and the boys new project. We needed to replace our old rotted out smoker, and found a big air tank. Join us as we convert it to a reverse offset smoker! We shall call it.....The R-BQ!!!

Thank you all for watching, for the great comments, and the encouragement! I decided to break this series into smaller segments and give weekly updates instead of making one longer video every couple weeks. Lots of progress, but lots of welding and detail work left to go. Let me know if you have any questions or if there is something you want to see. Also, if anyone knows of some better wheels/tires for the back side that will take the weight (without going to solid casters), send me the info. Thanks!!!
They make soild rubber tires that have some give but should hold that weight
@@bluecorddevel2564 I didn't see any that were wide like these. I need to find some that are wide enough that I can roll if over some gravel or dirt if I needed to. Only solid ones I found were for the dolleys, and they were too skinny. Now I know why guys mount these on trailers!!!
@@sthompson2770 Great idea. The ones on there are 10". I can probably get a little bigger into those caster mounts, but not sure how much... Also thinking about making that back set of casters a solid axle and reinforcing it so they don't buckle and have that thing land on top of me!!! I'll look into it!
WOW AN 800LB SMOKER. DAMN YOU WENT ALL OUT OOMAN
With the other stuff still going into it, I'm afraid it's going to tip the scales at over 1k# by the time it's done! Uggghhhhh!!!!
Half a ton of fun.
Very nice! I started learning welding when I was in construction! When I realized I couldn't do construction any more I gave all my welding stuff and tools to my son who puts them all to good use! I'd love to see that fired up!!
Oh shit bro!!!!!! Sweeeeet
Hell yea thats pretty sick👍
Glad to see I'm not the only one who dislikes expanded metal cooking grates!
IF I would have had some SS expanded metal laying around the shop, I may have gone that way, but am glad I didn't. Had tons of SS Rod left over from a cancelled job, and it worked out great! By not welding each bar solid into the frame, it allows them to expand/contract without warping them. Still gotta make the racks for the upper level...
Looking good, I like how how you made the base wider and kicked the legs out.
Nice build for sure! Wish I had a shop like that to make my builds lol. Garage for now 😅
This is an under appreciated build. Very sweet
I knew it was going to be heavy! Gotta find some solid wheel barrow tires in the rear they are rated for 750#
Now comes The Drivetrain!!!
Oh good lord, don't give the boys any more ideas!!! Next thing you know, this thing will be a steam locomotive!!!
@@OOMAN 😂🤣😅❤️
@@OOMAN CHOO CHOO!! Next stop flavor town!! lol
@@ronstryker Hahahaaaaa!!!!
@@OOMAN lmao 🤣
That is one serious MAN BBQ , Thanks for sharing
Awesome. Great job.
What a guy will do for a good piece of meat. Cool.
Take the wheels off when you get it where you want it and you won't have to worry about anyone stealing it.
I am enjoying these videos.. Thank you for sharing this info...
Oh and props on the Miller killer Lincoln..
With that kinda weight, no need to sweat a high wind, where a Webber would flip and roll 👍🇺🇸🖖👽🤡🔫
well done. i just took up welding this year, i have a long way to go
Yeah, I'm way out of practice and am a much better grinder than welder! Hahaha!!!
wow that is nice
Damm you better get some 15,000 pound GVW stickers for that bad boy.... your DMV registration every years going to kill you... you better upgrade those little Harbor Freight wheel casters to some semi truck tires to support the weight LOL
785 pounds you say, that's a bargain I'll you a cheque 👍
NOT THAT KIND OF POUNDS Ade!!! Hahaha!!!
@@OOMAN hehehe 👍
Just add a hitch and you can pull it behind the 5th wheel. Lol
Damn, That thing is going to weigh a ton by the time your done ;)
I’m guessing 1/2 a ton at least!
@@OOMAN Well at least you have the equipment to move it. Still jealous of your shop.
When ya gonna finish that CHEVY??? ☀️❤️🇺🇸💪
Ball is in my son’s court at this point…
@@OOMAN Get big John to help you he needs a break from world drama. SHTF #needavacation.
Do you remember the height and diameter of the pipe for the stack
The pipe I used was 5.25" Inner Diameter, and about 32" from the bottom of the collector (26" from top of collector) to the top of the pipe. I keep the stack cover closed ~80% while cooking, so you could probably get away with a smaller diameter pipe, but it's nice to have the size when firing it up/warming it up to be able to run it wide open and get great air flow.
Good thing you've got wheels on that bad boy. Whatcha gonna cook first?
I'm trying to figure out how and with what to upgrade those back wheels! Got some bad ideas jingling around in the old noggin! ;) The casters are straining quite a bit. Last thing I want is for those things to buckle over.
Probably gonna start out with some ribs and pork shoulder or loin. Don't wanna screw up an expensive brisket on the maiden cookout!
@@OOMAN Good call on the poke shoulders.
You might need to think about putting a single axle under it and upgrading it to a trailer mounted smoker. Then you have the bonus of portability plus a place to carry wood, charcoal, tools, etc....
@@RobPainless Definitely thinking about going to a solid rear axle. Trying to avoid going to a full blown trailer. It'd be nice if I could load it in the toy hauler and take it to campouts or R-Syndicate meet-ups (or would that be meat-ups???). Might need a winch to get it in and out though!!!
@@RobPainless That’s a great idea, I’ve seen that down in south Louisiana, people pulling their smoker as a trailer… Freaking awesome!
@@OOMAN amazing, you’re going to be able to feed an army with that thing! It should be three meats, I would recommend some good andouille sausage…
Need to add a motor to move it!!! Haha
My son just saw Detroit and your comments. Reminded me that we have an old Polaris 900 ATV that we can scavenge parts from...Thanks a lot Steve & Roger!!!...NOT!!!
@@OOMAN we are here to help.
@@CorsairTrainers STOP HELPING!!! They come up with enough bad ideas on their own!!! Hahaha!!!
@@OOMAN you might consider somewhere to hold adult beverages also? Should I make that a separate comment? Maybe a nice matching cooler?
Turn your wire speed up. It’s supposed to sound like crackling bacon. Not an old man trying to take a piss.
Cool ooman have very simaler
What you gonna do smoke the whole bear lol
Awesome build. What size pipe are you using? 6” schedule 40?
What angle did you cut your support angles for the legs? The angle of leg on the frame and cook chamber .
The legs are set at a 15* angle.
@@OOMAN thank you very much
@@OOMAN top and bottom?
@@randycook8413 15 at the bottom, then you have to fit the top based on diameter of the chamber and height you choose.
@@randycook8413 I just went back to the CAD File. I cut the legs 16 3/8" long, then put a 15* angle on the bottom, a 38* angle on top, and then took my grinder to contour the edge to fit the tank. I cut a 24" diameter circle out of cardboard as a template, marked up the legs, and got rid of excess material so that the gaps were minimized for easier welding. With the casters I have on there, this gave me a 36" grate height. Me and the boys are tall, so we made it a bit higher so we wouldn't be crouching over it. Make adjustments so it's most comfortable for you...
What is the tank thickness
It was an air tank, so it is 1/4" thick. Takes a little while to heat up, but holds incredibly consistent heat once it's there!
