- This 36" wide, 24" deep, and over 6 feet tall cabinet smoker was a blast to build! It has 10 cooking grates! I built this out of 11ga (1/8") thick steel for the most part. Details are below. This project is what motivated me to build an overhead bridge crane in my garage to help with future heavy lifts. This thing is a pig! Thanks for watching! Nick

It's likely going to take me another year of saving up with my current job as a welder but I definitely plan on setting up my own workshop, to fabricate and weld as side gigs for extra money.
Walter White is your neighbor?!
Hahaha!
Just found your channel and love your builds. New subscriber here. Keep up the great work my friend. 👍
Thanks, will do!
what was the cost, do you still do this, this what i am look for for doing sausage,,,, thank you,,,,benny
Hey Benny,
Please email me for pit inquiries at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com
How much would you charge for one ?
Should have designed and built a sturdy framework first, then weld the sheet metal to the frame. That's how you avoid warping.🖖😎👍
That gap wasnt a big deal. Throw some rope gasket on there and it woulda been fine. Looks good though.
You’re not wrong. If it was for me I’d have just lived with it most likely. Going to a customer is a different story though.
Very impressive
Looks 🍒. How much would you sell a gem like that
Thank you. Email me for pricing please.
Fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com
Wow, looks amazing. Great job! If you wouldn't mind sharing, what's the approximate cost on sheet metal, bar, angle, etc for something like that? I'd love to attempt something like that one day.
You're link isn't working, I'd Like to price a cooker
Sorry about that. please email me at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com for pricing and availability. Thank you
WoW way overkill for a smoker, but if I am in the market for an armored vehical or a tank I know who to call
Awesome video. Looking at building a couple of smokers soon. Where do you get your casters?
Glad you like the video. I get my casters on Amazon. 6” heavy duty.
Alright, I need to know the price and what a smaller one would be. Maybe a 24x24 4 shelf unit. I'm local. Actually saw you the other day at the gas station.
Small world!
Shoot me an email to discuss details if that's cool? Plenty of variables with cost so some back-and -forth will be expected. fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com
Great job but it's just shat happens won't b first or lat I always brother😅😅😅
Glad you started uploading again. You do great work.
Appreciate that!
Can you run this without the water pan and just let the fat drip on the coals?
Bon travail . Bonjour de Louisiane amis partout .
Great video. About to start a similar build but pellet fueled.
Cool man
What type of insulation did you use..thx
Man I didn’t know people changed settings on their welder 😂 I weld a lot of 14ga but set it for 1/4 because I don’t have time to wait around lol
Too funny :)
Your door issue is solved by adding firebox door liner should be able to get the same place you get the mineral wool insulation that you put in the bottom. Why didn't you insulate the sides and top?
That bow in the cook chamber was a bit too extreme for door gaskets to fix. It was close but not quite there.
I didn’t insulate the rest of the cooker due to costs. Had to keep it relatively inexpensive for the customer.
This has been amazing to watch, After it’s built, would this be something that could be powder coated after the fact?
Glad you like it Johnny!
Powder coating would be an option, but I'm not certain how well the bottom firebox area would hold up. If insulated it would hold up well, but not being insulated it might just cook off.
smokers doing smoker 🚬🚬🚬
I'm new to your channel man that's ah big smoker .nice...
Thanks Antoine!
oh god! i just hate when shit like that happens.. making memories as well as kick ass smokers
Thanks baldy!
Grandiose!
Nice cooker, did you paint or season this cooker of camera? If so what's your is your process for both painting and seasoning?
Thanks Dave. I seasoned the exterior with spray vegetable oil off camera. I light up some coals and get the entire unit up to temp then spray on the oil. Seems to work ok. I like the linseed oil look better but that stuff stinks terribly while applying it. I like the concept of the vegetable oil being food grade as well.
Thanks for replying back. Did or do you remove the mill scale before seasoning?
I would not use any steel sheet thinner than 1/4 inch. Anything less warps.
1/4” is for sure more sturdy. Twice the price and weight though. This thing’s still cooking quite a bit with no issues so I think it’s ok
211 millermatic baby✊🏾that's what I burn with
Awesome job if we don’t make mistakes we can’t learn
Thanks Tony!
Nice one
I’d love to see an offset cabinet build!
Might just have to do that someday :)
Nice smoker, how much do you think it cost to build one of those ?.
Thanks. They vary in cost but typically Around $3k-$5k depending on options.
Thanks for another great vid
Thanks for watching!
Where do you get those diamond grill sheets from? And where do you get the rest of the sheet metal and supplies?
My metal supplier has the expanded metal and all the other stuff.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 how do you find a metal supplier in your metro? What exactly do you google?
Do you think something like this could hold a 425° temp throughout the cabinet? Looking to make something like this myself
Yup no problem. If constantly cooking at those higher temps it may be good to use thicker metal though. Just for longevity. 7ga would be my suggestion
Love that design man!
Thanks Alex!
Looks awesome man !
Thanks!
Looked for the website in the about me section. The link appears to be broken.
Yeah I'm still working on the website. If you're looking for a pit feel free to email me at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com
Very nice build! Where can I find a price sheet for this cabinet smoker?
Thanks John!
You can email me at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com for pricing
I would love to have one if you are taking orders, i would only ask for a fire board connector
Sounds good Ryan,
You can email me at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com if interested in getting a quote.
What kind of Plasma cutter are you using?
It's a YesWelder Cut55DS. I've had it for a few years now and am happy with it.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 I picked up the Primeweld Cut50DP just not getting in the swing with it can not get a clean cut for the life of me. Similar specs
@@mike_ny1 I would make sure you have enough air pressure and would suggest dragging the tip directly on the work surface. I've had mixed results with standoff attachments in the past. Plus making sure your surface isn't all rusty helps as well. A good ground is vital.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 Thanks- cutting clean steel. I will continue to practice with it. Straight cuts are okay - went to do circle with a circle cutter and was junk. Fortunately I smart enough to try on a scrap piece 1st.
@@mike_ny1 Got it. Good luck sir!
Did you build the welding table yourself?
I built the base but purchased the top from weldtables.com. I actually have a build video of the table base but was pretty crude and not very well done :) You can check it out on my channel if you'd like.
Certiflat is the brand, I think. They're local in MN so was simple to get and relatively inexpensive. Been a good little table.
Nice work! Been looking for either a traditional offset smoker with a vertical cabinet over the firebox or a vertical smoker with removable heat shield/deflector. This would allow low and slow in the offset or a vertical cabinet with a heat deflector or remove the heat deflector and go hot and fast directly over the flames in the vertical cabinet situated over the firebox. Love having the option to hang ribs and chicken directly over the hot coals.
Thanks Gene!
The traditional offset builds with warming cabinets above the firebox are really nice. Plus having removable or adjustable diverter plates so you can use the warming cabinet as a vertical smoker/direct fire cooker is an awesome way to go. I've yet to build one like that, but I know Shirley and TMG pits do that right now. Greatway to be versatile in such a small foot print.
Question are the panels stainless steel or just normal steel panels ?
Just normal steel. Pickled and oiled
Not bad for a French Canadian. Love ya bro
Hahaha!! Truth
Excellent
Absolutely love your authenticity. If I weren’t all the way in Florida I would definitely attempt to commission a build. Subscribed for sure. Especially your chug box reiteration…
I appreciate that Jim
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 absolutely my friend. I tell ya, the more i look locally for help the more disheartened I become. My second son lives up your way in Minneapolis so perhaps a road trip after the snow is gone would be in order.
@@jimbrowski1309 I'll still be here :)
How much would a unit like this cost to build?
Hey Marcus,
Email me at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com to discuss pricing please.
How heavy is this smoker? 300lbs.
Yeah that’s close with the racks removed. Maybe closer to 400lbs
I would not use anything less than 1/4 inch steel. Anything less will warp.
On this smoker is there one plate or two plates between the firebox and cook box, or a plate and a water pan.
Hi Joe,
Just the water pan which is 1/4" steel. It sits directly above the coal basket. Above the water pan is the "funnel" structure which basically funnels all of the drippings into the water pan. This also creates a tortuous path for the heat to go through so there's no direct heat in the cook chamber. Hope this helps!
Thanks, going try this maybe a reverse flow one
The racks look very close together?
Yup they are built for ribs and sausages mainly. However, you can just pull out a few to gain more height if cooking pork buttes or turkeys. 4" spacing between the racks.
Looks Hella good keep up the great work.
Thanks man!
I could barely hear you. I gave up and stopped watching
Great job, looks fantastic and a lot of food can fit on there.
Thanks Kevin!
So I'm looking to build my own can't stand having to buy someone else's work when I can do it myself but do you find it easy to build it in a box then set it up cause I wanna fully insulated mine cause if the Canadian winters
Yeah building as a separate box then standing up would be easier if you have lifting equipment. I didn't have anything at the time of this build so just built everything in place. It is more difficult and a bit sketchy. Good luck on your build.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 also the clamps using can I get thoughs anywhere like them big angle ones
@@robertkletke9024 I'm not certain who else makes them, but i bought mine from Fireball Tools. Excellent quality and totally worth the expense. Just makes the build process so much more hassle free.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 sweet thanks!!! I will see if I can get em shipped to Canada and if there budget friendly can't wait for more content bud
