You know I've been a welder 40 years I really like what you do continue doing it and whoever else gives you a little blow back just look over it then not as experienced as we are
Yea Bro, this help me alot. Just purchased an Oklahoma Joe Highlander. Had a local metal shop drill and mount the log lighter. I use a long lighter and stand to the side, not in front of fire box door. Don’t turn propane up too high and light immediately after turned on. Don’t let the propane build up or you get a boom. I also welded my fire box together after joining top and bottom with screws, to prevent gas escape. The last thing I did was to buy a 6 feet hose so I could sit the tank father away. I checked out some of your other vids, you have mad skills. I once took metal trades shop class, in high school. Those are very good skills to have, to build something solid. Thanks for your efforts and sharing.
Love your videos man, I'm half way in to my build right now. Been thinking about building one for a while and your vids got me started. Making a combined barrel grill/smoker for my dad at his 60th birthday. Thx for your vids!
I went to a 3/4" tube in the bottom of the box with 1/8 holes, got better flame. Had to adjust the gas flow by filling the brass adapter with solder and drilling it out. Different size for different lengths of fire tube. Great Vid, Great Channel. You will always get trolls, ignore them... sorry Igor!
I really like your videos Allen, you are an inspiration to us backyard fellas that like to tinker about in the shed. All the best to you and your family for Christmas and the new year. God Bless.
They are great items I am in dallas , I add them to alot of smokers, They serve two purposes, They Ignite the firewood, It also preheats The cooking Chamber . I choose only black pipe, Stock , I weld all my fittings, No leaks .. Merry Christmas . carl brooks. ALLEN , Your such a natural and you share so much, Bless you sir . carll brooks
Great video. I wonder if it might be better to install so all the drilled holes are on the bottom of the pipe so ashes can’t fall into and clog the gas tube.
Allen, thank you so much for your inspiration. Made a Smoker with log lighter and a Santa Maria Grill for the family. Thanks again. You have a Blessed Christmas and a Safe and prosperous New Year. Be safe and keep up the GREAT Work.
Hey, Allen! I love the videos and I watch a lot. I want to recommend that you not use galvanized pipe. When that zinc coating burns off it poisons food if it comes in contact with it. This is no joke! Use only black pipe and nothing galvanized . God bless and take care. I can't wait for the next video.
Hey man great video I'm not sure if you know this already but you see how your flames were really Orange that means they're starving of oxygen if you made those 4 holes around that center diffuser a little bit bigger you would get bluish flames just an FYI
Hello Allen this video pop when I opened TH-cam like this Idea. Thanks for posting this video. I didn’t read any other comments but if I may suggest that a gas ball valve would be good to install with a nipple and to the coupler and continue to tank. Love this video great job.
Great video like always, will came in handy and as a reference for me thanks. Merry Christmas to you and your family. May God bless you and your family.
This is a great idea. I wish you were within driving range, I'd order a smoker from you. I fear shipping all the way to California would be a bit too much lol.
I love your work, top marks. Buggered if I know how you can oxy cut freehand so straight. Wish I could do it as good as you, I need to use a flat bar straight edge all the time. Merry Christmas.
Hey Mr. Allen, I love your videos! Got a question about the 4 holes on the cap. What was the purpose of them again. I skimmed through the comments but didn't see any thing regarding that. If it was already answered, my apologies. Keep the GREAT videos coming sir
I want to make one for my fireplace. What size bit did you use for your holes? Great flame on your pipe man!!!! Why not put the holes in the top of the pipe? I was thinking of putting slits in the pipe with a hack saw, thought that might be easier than holes. What do you think?
The way I look at it, is a person that says he is a fabricator and buys the parts that he could have built himself , is not a fabricator. Just a parts changer. I build just about everything that I use in my builds. Yes there are certain things that I don't have the knowledge to make , such as a thermometer gauge. Does anyone know how to show me how to build one and it be accurate???? You Allen do great work. Thanks for the video that you post.
I know this is an old video but are there any problems with that bar being covered in ashes? Does it get in the way of cleaning the ashes out of the Firebox?
Great work Allen, but on the four holes, what are they for. I'm looking at them and wondering if gas will back flow. I'm just learning. I'm going to put the 4holes. Just wanted to know what their for.
Yeah, the pressurized flow of propane creates a venturi which sucks in the surrounding air. It might be nice to have larger holes and a means to shutter them down.This works fine though.
Not sure if it would screw with your style or not, but maybe some good earbuds or something and just have the music going there. Would probably save you a hell of a lot of time editing music out of video and the hassle of stuff getting flagged and losing the money from it while it's in dispute. Some people just can't stand to have those little ear buds in, myself included. Either way, just a thought. Keep the videos coming, you have some great straight forward welding/cutting stuff and it just keeps getting better.
Great build as always. One thing to note, Propane flames should be burning BLUE in color, this indicates a complete/clean burn. Orange/Yellow flame color is caused from not enough oxygen (thinking you might need a few more oxygen holes, maybe 6? or larger ones?) Here's a link that explains this very well: www.elgas.com.au/blog/1585-why-does-a-gas-flame-burn-blue-lpg-gas-natural-propane-methane Also, a blue flame (from propane) will burn about 2000'C, a yellow/orange flame burns closer to 1000'C, huge difference. Orange flames produce a lot of CO (poisonous carbon monoxide gas). Happy and Safe BBQ'ing to all.
How can you get copy writed for playin a radio when I've seen other people sing along with the radio on their blogs. Don't make any sense to me ? You also need to put an orifice on that pipe to control your flame , plus you have too much air goin into it .

this video is all about tapping holes that are not crooked lol
GREAT VIDEO ALLEN
you are humble and brilliant. thanks for that and charge people more.

Dead nuts! Ha! I'm glad I found someone other than me that says that. Great work brother! I'm hooked! I gotta build a grill of my own now!
Love your videos Allen, I get a lot of tips & tricks from you!
Hey, Allen! I love the videos and I watch a lot. I want to recommend that you not use galvanized pipe. When that zinc coating burns off it poisons food if it comes in contact with it. This is no joke! Use only black pipe and nothing galvanized . God bless and take care. I can't wait for the next video.
I like it, was planning to do something like this, but wasnt sure how. I want mine to be natural gas and/or wood. this same set up will work.
Keep em coming Allen, Thanks for all you have shared and Merry Christmas!
Hey man great video I'm not sure if you know this already but you see how your flames were really Orange that means they're starving of oxygen if you made those 4 holes around that center diffuser a little bit bigger you would get bluish flames just an FYI
I like your videos, and I've learned quite a bit from you. Thank you!
Great job, very well explained!!! You do beautiful work, hope you and your family had a great christmas!!
Hello Allen this video pop when I opened TH-cam like this Idea. Thanks for posting this video. I didn’t read any other comments but if I may suggest that a gas ball valve would be good to install with a nipple and to the coupler and continue to tank. Love this video great job.
You don't need 2 valves. The one on the tank should be shut off after every use.
This is perfect. I need to use my everlast and weld one of these into my bbq.
Great video like always, will came in handy and as a reference for me thanks. Merry Christmas to you and your family. May God bless you and your family.
"Don't give me no blow back".... love it! lol
This is a great idea. I wish you were within driving range, I'd order a smoker from you. I fear shipping all the way to California would be a bit too much lol.
Good video Allen. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have Merry Christmas
Thanks Allen, looks like a champ!
You should be using black iron pipe for propane, it'll last a lot longer, great videos
That's Slick Allen Great Job!
I love your work, top marks. Buggered if I know how you can oxy cut freehand so straight. Wish I could do it as good as you, I need to use a flat bar straight edge all the time.
Merry Christmas.
Hell yeah buddy...i got a setup almost like that. No worries ;)
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALLEN!
Want nothing wrong with the way you put that in ,I like it
Great Videos Allen Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!!!
Looks perfectly safe to me, good job.
Awesome dude!!!! Thanks a Million! You flux welding?
My finished my 22 pit all 3/8 20"wide REVERSE SMOKER
HOT BOX HAS LAMBO DOOR TONS & TONS OF STUFF...
You da man Allen merry Christmas brother
Hey Mr. Allen, I love your videos! Got a question about the 4 holes on the cap. What was the purpose of them again. I skimmed through the comments but didn't see any thing regarding that. If it was already answered, my apologies. Keep the GREAT videos coming sir
It is for air flow
I want to make one for my fireplace. What size bit did you use for your holes? Great flame on your pipe man!!!! Why not put the holes in the top of the pipe? I was thinking of putting slits in the pipe with a hack saw, thought that might be easier than holes. What do you think?
Awesome sauce, Awesome sauce! I gotta see what ya cook !
That's a good idea I like it.
The way I look at it, is a person that says he is a fabricator and buys the parts that he could have built himself , is not a fabricator. Just a parts changer. I build just about everything that I use in my builds. Yes there are certain things that I don't have the knowledge to make , such as a thermometer gauge. Does anyone know how to show me how to build one and it be accurate???? You Allen do great work. Thanks for the video that you post.
👍good video going to make one for my pit
I know this is an old video but are there any problems with that bar being covered in ashes? Does it get in the way of cleaning the ashes out of the Firebox?
No it does great, I still use this one, I have everything built to fit right
Nice video man. I'll definitely try this out one day.
Great work Allen, but on the four holes, what are they for. I'm looking at them and wondering if gas will back flow. I'm just learning. I'm going to put the 4holes. Just wanted to know what their for.
For sucking in oxygen...
Yeah, the pressurized flow of propane creates a venturi which sucks in the surrounding air. It might be nice to have larger holes and a means to shutter them down.This works fine though.
thanks for the info. i was kind of waiting to see if the holes would cause a back draft and explode or something.
Use black iron pipe for the burner galvanised pipe is zinc coated
You need some more air in the mix you will get a hotter blue flame !
looks good to me!!
Allen, you sir are a machine! Seems like the pit building has become a full time job? If you can make enough doing it, why work for someone else?
Nice idea looks like it going to come in real handy for some people. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Keep up the great video's
Merry Christmas Allen
Merry Christmas Allen.
I like that Allen. You ever gonna finish the santa Marie grill ? It's not like you have anything else to do.
Damn smart set up
I think that big orange flames means you are getting too much airflow from your (4) 1/8" holes. Blue flame burns hotter and cleaner.
Great video! I’ve subscribed!
Back to crafting I go. 👍🏽
What kind of welder u using
why do you have to drill those small holes in the cap on the hose conector you said blow make but isn,t gas coming out of it.
no........... propane is sucking in air at the cap as it burns for a proper mixture.
Love your builds/ how can I reach you to place an order.are you on Facebook
Awsome! Thanks for sharing ..
As usual fkn great stuff
Not sure if it would screw with your style or not, but maybe some good earbuds or something and just have the music going there. Would probably save you a hell of a lot of time editing music out of video and the hassle of stuff getting flagged and losing the money from it while it's in dispute.

That's not galvanized piping right.
@ Charles Reed
He's got galvanized and black pipe 😲
merry Christmas Allen n familly
👍👍good
I finally got this finished but im afraid to turn it on PS "you can just add a check valve"just to be 100% SAFE
Good idea
good idea

Add an oxygen mixer fir a hotter blue more efficient flame like this one.
