Congratulations, D!! What a beautiful pit!! I hope You and Your loved ones enjoy it! It makes me proud to be an American when I see craftsmanship like this!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Enjoy using it, Brotha!!
Wow! What an spectacular place you live in! Your New Workhorse Pit 1975 is really Great! but your home place is simply Awesome! Congrats friend! Happy smoking! All the best!
Wow! You now own all 4 of my most wanted cookers! Congratulations! I got my 1975 in December of last year. I just have the Sunterra, 24x48 LSG Charcoal grill, and Weber Kamado to go lol.
Dski wish you could have seen the smile on my face when I seen the caption "1975". I know you're going to produce some awesome food and videos smoking on this backyard pit. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! #TMG Pits future owner "The Volunteer & The Rolloff"
Congrats Dski!! I ordered a 1975 March 6th so I’ve got a ways to go on the wait. Mine will be on my patio so I ordered the standard wheel package and the side shelf, upper shelf and cowboy package too. Can’t wait to see your burn in and hopefully some fire management videos.
I want one too, however the details from the Workhorse Team as of 4-24-2022 is this: " Our three companies (soon to be four with the launch of El Bandido Grills) uses approximately 10-15 tons of steel per week, not including repurposed propane tanks for Primitive Pits. In April of 2020 (two years ago today), we were buying steel at $440 per ton. Today, we are purchasing steel over $1550 per ton." With this info I am going the ride the price storm out ( I withheld the author of the storm) for steel to go back down. Just sent an email to Workhorse about this and when the storm might end.
@@mhammer5 Supply chain has been killing every manufacturing industry. It’s painful to see all of the price hikes from wood to steel and of course food and gas. I hope things level back out in the near future. Looks like I was fortunate to order when i did. Hope your able to do so as well soon.
@@mhammer5 not sure what you’re speaking of. I just upgraded my order recently to a 1975T and there was no mention of price hikes or shortages. Their website shows the price of any grill you wish to purchase and as far as I can tell they haven’t changed since I ordered in March.
Thats one sweet rig my bro. Made all the right choices too. Pity i cant get one here, i'll just have to drool over your cooks. Much love from new zealand
Awesome i thought you were already done. Hmmm I think you got one more in you. Mrs Grills has always been delightfull and wonderull. and this is proof that you actually lived to film his. Glad you got it , now teach us a thing or two. I know what you will be doing this Holiday weekend , Any thing she wants you to do. LOL
Beautiful Rig Bro! I’m after the 1975 as well but haven’t been able to wear the Wife down enough yet as she just got me the LSG last year for my Birthday. I’ll keep working on it. Until then, I’ll be enjoying watching you cook on yours. Smoke on!!
Great video. Love my 1975 wagon and that cowboy grill makes the best reverse seared steaks. It’s a heavy beast but the wagon makes it a breeze to move.
I'll be the first to say a non-cooker statement. Your home looks simply spectacular! Congratulations on all your hard work. Now that cooker is the bomb! Bet it cooks AWESOME. You could also ship it to the Ukraine, and scare a couple of Russian tank drivers from a distance with that thing. Happy Memorial Day weekend, to you, your family, and all your subscribers. Those Suckle Busters have been the bomb, too, btw. :-)
Brothaa, you are ballin outta control! Congrats!! I do audio for corporate shows for a living and recognize your style and cadence. My guess would be that you're some kind of corporate V.P. that does a lot of presentations with a sales background. Certainly fits the opulence that seems to accompany your lifestyle. Keep up the good work brother!!
Great observation..I have been in leadership roles most of my life and yes I do a lot of presentations and speaking with employees. Have a great evening and thanks for the Congrats.
Great pit. I've heard a lot of good things about the 1975. I'm sure it will cook awesome. As far as your last grill, you said that many grills ago so I doubt it. LOL.
more craft smokers makers are going with this look- non painted oil baked finish, I think it looks really good and scooped up one myself and waiting for delivery.
great review. i'm debating between the casters and wagon. how long is the smoke stack from the top of the smoke collector? what is the diameter of the smoke stack?
Not at home for the next two weeks as I'm having my wood floors redone due to a plumbing leak. I'll let you know when I return. Thanks for checking out the video. I really like the wagon package for moving the smoker through rougher terrain. If you plan on it being stationary, you may want to go with the caster. Take care.
Hi Clint. I will post a video shortly with my likes and dislikes. I will tell you know that the list of dislikes will be very short. This smoker is top notch! More to come.
The value and the 3/8" thickness of the pit vs 1/4" thickness of the LSG. I also loved the Patina finish vs the typical black. Haven't sold a grill yet but I'm contemplating which one or two to part with. Have a great holiday.
Love your commitment I have a new theory If You don't have a giant offset like the restaurants I'm thinking you need a bypass as in deflector or tuning plates so you can run a big fire instead of these little fires like everyone's trying to do Then you could use your dampers and build a fire that's going to last What do you think about that I haven't tried it yet
It's possible Ray. The only thing I would be concerned with is the fire smoldering if you get the grill too hot and have to choke down the fire by the intake damper. The most vital part of running the offset is building a good coal bed to help you maintain even temps. Good point on the tuning plates helping to keep the direct heat of the fire under control but I bet you would still have to feed the fire at least every hour in order to maintain your set up/temperatures. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out. Awesome theory!
Great question Kevin. It is definitely possible for grease to drain back into the firebox as there is no metal guard. I noticed this and immediately made it a point to make sure the smoker is on level ground or sloping towards the exhaust stack. Have a good evening.
Dsk. How well did it pull across your grass up hill and down hill? I'm not sure if I'd prefer the wagon or trailer. I have plenty of room for storage so it really comes down to if the wagon is manageable on grass. Thanks, Jerry
Greeting from the UK. Beautiful smoker, congratulations. Any issues with the tyres being so close to the firebox? Any melting or deflating? In advance, many thanks for your time. Best regards, Manny
Hey DSki! Big fan of yours, here. Question. I’m choosing between a Workhorse 1975 and a LSG 24” Vertical Offset/Cabinet. I know you have that amazing LSG which has a cabinet built In and the 1975. Can you recommend one or the other? If it helps, for context, I have an Old Country Brazos, Weber Summit Charcoal and 22”WSM.
Both are amazing BBq smokers. Workhorse when I purchased it was cheaper than the LSG and comes with 3/8” steel as opposed to the 1/4” from LSG. Both smokers produce awesome BBq. My cabinet smoker is mainly used as a warmer as the temps are always 100 degrees below the main chamber. It works wonderful for my trailer pit set up. Both smokers, once you get your fire stabilized will hold temperatures within 5 to 10 degrees. You can’t go wrong either way sir. I’m more partial to the LSG because it’s my main pit for large catering events and I have perfected cooking on it from the correct size splits to understanding each nuance from the warming oven above the fire box to the main chamber, and finally the section you mentioned, the cabinet smoker. No comparison. Now for smaller cooks, which I don’t do as many as i used to, the workhorse is spot on. Hope this helps my friend. let me know which one you decide on.
I've been eyeing this exact grill for the past year, but my good friend tells me to save my money and get a drum smoker. (Gateway or Cottongin). He says the food is just as good. I noticed you have a Gateway also and would like to hear your opinion on whether to get one or the other. Many Thanks!
The gateway drum smoker produces the better BBQ hands down! There is nothing like the juices hitting the coals and releasing flavor vapors back into the meat. Drum smokers are absolutely magnificent cookers.
I’ve been keep a close eye on this and so far no issues. No loss in tire pressure nor any visible damage to the tires. I keep monitoring overtime and let you know if something changes. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@DskiGrillz I went ahead and added the wagon upgrade and am considering once the smoker is in its final spot removing the tires and leaving it on scissor jacks. Not only for the heat but to also keep the tires out of the elements until I build a gazebo. Just a thought. I'll get mine in the summer hopefully before July. Can't wait!! Great videos thanks!!
Good video D-Ski.... I'm planning on purchasing the trailer model but not sure if I should get the Cow Boy box. You think there's a lot of heat loss through there?
Not at all. The seal is very good on the fire box with the cowboy feature. If you don't plan to do any grilling on the 1975 then I would recommend not getting the cowboy grill. For me it's a great feature if I want to cook a steak over wood fire, burgers, etc...options...Hope this helps
That’s really a tough question Mike. Both smokers hold temps perfectly; both offer the ability to use as a grill over your firebox, both have a wonderful draw to help manage dirty smoke. The only difference is the workhorse pits is 3/8” thick versus 1/4” thickness of the LSG. Also the Workhorse Pits is cheaper than the LSG. Hope this helps. I love them both!!
@Dski Grillz hey thank you I appreciate the information. I've been wondering if the Workhorse it's easier to maintain a cold bed given the fact your coals are on the bottom of the Firebox in comparison to them being on the fire great or in the fire management basket from Lone Star I've had my Lonestar for about 3 years now and keeping a good coal bed after about 4 or 5 hours always seems to be a struggle
@@mikes.3165 Mike, It is very frustrating but you cannot give up with figuring out what to do. I use the lone star fire management basket and have no issue with maintaining temps. This wasn’t always the case. The key for e was making sure my splits were consistent in size. I found using splits that are roughly 4” in width by around 10” in length helped me maintain the large 24 x 84” trailer pit. Windy conditions can also cause fluctuations in temps. Ultimately, I feel that resting your wood directly on the fire box could eventually cause smoldering if you are not sweeping out the ash from time to time. The fire management basket helps ensure you are avoid this condition. Hope this helps. Have a good night.
This pit is great. I am planning to get one on wagon for me. But, i have a question? Any one can advice me about if i should order with a gloss black paint option or clear coat? What the advantges and the disadvantges of the golss black paint
I believe it is all about preferences. I have a few black pits and was really taken by the raw finish. I truly enjoy the patina effect and just how beautiful it looks after getting a coat of linseed oil. Hope this helps but ultimately, If you don’t want the additional maintenance then I would think the black gloss would be a good choice.👍🏾
@@wissamhamad5495 Correct. The high temperature paint will allow more of a care free maintenance but I’m sure overtime you will need to repaint the fire box as it gets very hot and will eventually cause rust if not cared for.
Thank man i appreciate that .. i wish you more successful videos on the workhorse 1975 . Maybe you can do one show how much log wood you use per 12 hours cook and fire management on this tremendous pit in the future
@@wissamhamad5495 Just posted one today where I’m cooking Beef Ribs and talk a little about fire management. Also an older video on fire management, maybe 8 months ago. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Great question. You can’t go wrong either way. The workhorse uses thicker material at 3/8” vs Lonestar at 1/2” thick. Both are premium smokers that will last a lifetime yet workhorse was easier on the budget as well. Hope this helps.
Bro how in the world your wife let you buy this after the Lone Star monster!! That’s need to be a video! I have 4 grills/smoker. No one item over 600.00 and my wife said I can’t have anything else. 😂😂 Please tell me the secret.
lol!!! I know I did! The guy said he bought it from a guy who had it sitting out in the back of a farm. That is one awesome ride that he got for a steal.

Best review of the 1975 hands down! My wife saw me watching your vid and she said dont you have enough grills yet! HA! SUBSCRIBED!
Wow love the collections of grills you have thanks for sharing
What a pit! Im excited for you Dski, cant wait to see it in action 🔥
Congratulations! Looking forward to the many cooks to come.
Love it! Workhorse is the brand I've been looking at - either a 1975 or 1969.
Really looks beautifully made, I think you made a really good choice.
Thank you very much!
Looking forward to seeing it in action! Keep up the great vids!
Last grill ~ yeah right. But what is more amazing is you rocking the NC powder blue Jordan shirt. Damn that is sweet. Oh and congrats on the smoker.
Thanks!!!
Congrats on the New Pit, only thing left is 1000Gallon trailer 16' x 41". Happy Memorial Day
nice! Congratulations I can't wait to see what you cook up..
I don't know why you would want anything else, ever. This thing rocks! This is my dream pit.
That's my dream grill!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!
Congratulations! I ordered the 1975t for my catering business. Can’t wait to see your cooks on this.
Thanks Samuel. The 1975T is a very cool looking trailer rig. I know your going to enjoy it!!
New Sub here! Congrats on the awesome addition of the 1975! Your videos are awesome so keep up it up! Smoke on!
Congrats on the new Workhorse! Love my 1975.
Thanks. Watching your videos during the wait process made me want it even faster. It took 8 months but worth the wait!
@@DskiGrillz yeah I waited 6 months. It’s feels like forever! Haha
The newest one is always the last one, until the next one. Looks like it is great stick burner. Congratulations.
Dski wish you could have seen the smile on my face when I seen the caption "1975". I know you're going to produce some awesome food and videos smoking on this backyard pit. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
#TMG Pits future owner "The Volunteer & The Rolloff"
That's a great looking pit you've got there! 8 months is a great turnaround time on a cooker these days too.
I agree! I was told six months but with supply chain constraint, it's totally understandable.

Is you LSG similar to his? Massive? If not just curious how two smokers will serve you differently?
Great video. Love my 1975 wagon and that cowboy grill makes the best reverse seared steaks. It’s a heavy beast but the wagon makes it a breeze to move.
Thanks Mike! I knew the large wheels were a must for my backyard set-up.

love the GN in the trailer also!!!!
Christmas in may. awesome
Nice pit 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks. I was inspired by yours!!! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Sweet!!!!
Just placed my order! Can’t wait. Had to sell the summit kamado for this.
You are going to love it! Let me know what you think once you get it in.
Nice backyard smoker dski..
its a beast
Killer...looks like a keeper.
great review. i'm debating between the casters and wagon. how long is the smoke stack from the top of the smoke collector? what is the diameter of the smoke stack?
Not at home for the next two weeks as I'm having my wood floors redone due to a plumbing leak. I'll let you know when I return. Thanks for checking out the video. I really like the wagon package for moving the smoker through rougher terrain. If you plan on it being stationary, you may want to go with the caster. Take care.
did you do the linseed oil curing on the outside of the smoker ? just curious or tif they did it ,
They did it before shipping. I plan to do another coat in the coming weeks though….
Awesome. I think you convinced me to get the wagon package. So after 4 months, what are your likes/dislikes of the 1975?
Hi Clint. I will post a video shortly with my likes and dislikes. I will tell you know that the list of dislikes will be very short. This smoker is top notch! More to come.
Nice. Why did you go with this cooker vs LSG 24x48” offset? What did you end up selling?
The value and the 3/8" thickness of the pit vs 1/4" thickness of the LSG. I also loved the Patina finish vs the typical black. Haven't sold a grill yet but I'm contemplating which one or two to part with. Have a great holiday.
How well do the cart wheels work in the grass and is it able to be moved by one person over uneven ground.
It moves very easy. But if you have to pull it up a hill it could be a challenge. It's over 700 to 800lbs.
Love your commitment
I have a new theory
If You don't have a giant offset like the restaurants I'm thinking you need a bypass as in deflector or tuning plates so you can run a big fire instead of these little fires like everyone's trying to do
Then you could use your dampers and build a fire that's going to last What do you think about that I haven't tried it yet
It's possible Ray. The only thing I would be concerned with is the fire smoldering if you get the grill too hot and have to choke down the fire by the intake damper. The most vital part of running the offset is building a good coal bed to help you maintain even temps. Good point on the tuning plates helping to keep the direct heat of the fire under control but I bet you would still have to feed the fire at least every hour in order to maintain your set up/temperatures. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out. Awesome theory!
Is it possible for grease to drain back into the firebox or do they have a metal guard to prevent that from happening?

I'm not sure if I'd prefer the wagon or trailer. I have plenty of room for storage so it really comes down to if the wagon is manageable on grass. Thanks, Jerry
It rolls very well on hilly/rough terrain. The only concern going downhill is having people not help slow it down. The smoker is very heavy.
Greeting from the UK.
Beautiful smoker, congratulations.
Any issues with the tyres being so close to the firebox? Any melting or deflating?
In advance, many thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Manny
No issues thus far. I've cooked on it about ten times to date. I'll keep you posted but they seem to be holding up quite well.

Did this already come with first layer of linseed oil ? Or did you do that off camera ?
It came with it. Thanks for checking out the video.
I see alot of space to store wood without being in contact with the wheels operations(including steering)

Great pit, but my only concern would be how the back wheels will hold up to the heat from the firebox...
I’ll keep you posted on the back wheel and how well they hold up. For now I’ve seen no lose in air or damage. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@DskiGrillz Thank you
I am not really sure about having a smoker with inflatable tires,they seam like they would end up flat eventually and then be difficult to deal with.
I see your point. I'll keep you posted on how they hold up.
Very nice! How much?
3 to 4k depending on upgrades. Checkout the workhorse pits website for specifics.
Are those golf cart wheels?
More like riding lawnmower wheels
Why not the lone star pit at this size?
Great question. You can’t go wrong either way. The workhorse uses thicker material at 3/8” vs Lonestar at 1/2” thick. Both are premium smokers that will last a lifetime yet workhorse was easier on the budget as well. Hope this helps.
1/2 is thicker than 3/8
I think you should have bbq for all your viewers
Always go bigger
Bro how in the world your wife let you buy this after the Lone Star monster!! That’s need to be a video! I have 4 grills/smoker. No one item over 600.00 and my wife said I can’t have anything else. 😂😂

Nobody gonna talk about the Grand National that was tucked into the trailer?
lol!!! I know I did! The guy said he bought it from a guy who had it sitting out in the back of a farm. That is one awesome ride that he got for a steal.
