Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.
Great work, as usual Allen. I got a wire-feed welder in my garage that's pretty heavy duty that I got for a song about a decade ago. You make it look so simple, I may just make something with it. Like your videos, like your humility and your personality. Keep them videos coming, big daddy! Cheers!
Hey Alan. Building another smoker and I cut out the firebox door with a cutting wheel!!!! You inspired me and it came out good and I got all my fingers too!!!
you do some awesome work. especially not having some of the newer tools. like a bender or a plasma cutter. keep it up. I really enjoy watching your videos.
Anyone who disliked this has mediocre welding skills and no imagination how can you not appreciate a man that showing you how to make things and has a great personality haters will hate
I really enjoy all of your videos, always looking forward to the next one. I made a rack using round stock for my grill recently, and I too, was back at he metal shop for more round stock, I was using 3/8". Cost me twice what I thought it would for that rack. I love it though.
That grille u made, I make those 5/8" apart, usually for grilles made out of truck trims and some square grilles but I'll tell you, I always have larger amounts of round stock here.
man I wish I had a 3rd of ur Talent doing stuff like that I watch every video u have posted sence I came across ur channel a few months ago I give u A BIG thumbs up buddy keep up the good work and videos
Like the grill with the round stock looks like it will produce good marking and flavor to the meats . Nothing gonna fall thru either . Do you ever add a grease pot or slot to drain the run off. Sure enjoy watching good videos thanks ..
When I fab things a this and can't be sure if it's square I'll level the base piece and the use levels on the piece just as a square and I actually prefer that method over a square always carry 3 torpedo magnetic levels works awesome. Hope I explained properly keep up the good work
With your talent,you should be a rich man,I took metal trades in high school for two years and my instructor loved me,in the 1990 I worked at Lemays recycling in Tacoma Washington making tarping station,really love welding,in short your good my brother.
I like that kind of grill. I had thought about square stock, now 3/8 round. I suppose that expanded metal would be ok. I still trying to figure out what size and thickness that you use. Just mention it sometime I'll try to be listing.
I just ran across your site, nice work! I actually made a barbecue pit and they are pretty close in design. The only thing I did different was in using stainless steel round stock instead of mild steel. I’m only guessing that you used mild steel in place of stainless due to the fact that we did not see you switch out your gas and wire for the welder and went straight from welding mild steel to welding the round bar. In the event I am mistaken and you used stainless for the round bar then I whole heartedly apologize Sir. You may want to cut/peel away the rubber in the clamp that you installed on the hood, it will most likely melt anyway. Have a great day!!!
to keep it from domeing cutting it with a torch.....cut it in a skipping pattern. cut 4 inches jump 4 cut 4 jump 4.....then flip it and cut out the rest....cutting a consecutive line genereates alot of heat so the rapid cool is what pulls and warps it.....by skipping not only do you keep the temp down you have the original steel holding it in place while it builds stress.it always rolls up because heat rises. its the last to cool and as the metal cools it shinks making the top smaller if that makes sense. the only other way is to try and keep that plate heated to about 200-300(pre-heat soak) untill you cut all of it then wrap it in fire blanket to cool slowly. (really evenly is what your trying to achieve....the slower it cools the easier even is)
Great vids to get ideas from without the usual 80% jabber jawing, that bow in the end plate could be removed by heating the side opposite the bow in the center with your torch and let it draw. Kinda pricey but why not use a plasma cutter to prevent heat transfer. Again great vid
Tac the rails to the wall the side plates that way it won't Dome you do good work I watch you itsfunneh I'm not a welder but I watch you make mistakes and in my mind I correct them and watch you go back and correct most of them you're pretty good and getting better don't stop brother I can't wait to buy a BBQ Pit from you or either build my own and show you on my page I love watching you you're very smart keep up the good work brother
Nice work! I'm inspired! Can you share where you got that clamp latch at? I need one for a box on my Trooper. Also what steel are the round stock grill rods?
Hey...... your designs for bbq legs are being copied by some pipeliner guy named Schofield, he's a subscriber of yours. The guy has class.... he credits you in his video . Thanks for killer videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that was some impressive torch work when you free handed that arc!
You are the definition of American made quality. Keep up the good work

Allen, just found your channel. Really enjoying your builds, great skills.
Thanks!
Nice projects! That fire pit was lookin' good. You must love workin' outside on that spread. The rooster is a gas!
When I see your chickens running around, I always notice you have a Polish chicken. Everyone I ever had was a rooster.
Yea, we had several different kinds back then.

Have you tried heating the dome area with a torch and spraying it with cold water to shrink it
Better get at least 60' of that round stock.
Hey Alan... Great job as always. What paint are you using on your pits?
Great vids to get ideas from without the usual 80% jabber jawing, that bow in the end plate could be removed by heating the side opposite the bow in the center with your torch and let it draw. Kinda pricey but why not use a plasma cutter to prevent heat transfer. Again great vid
