Love your grill,making one for my home

Cool build. I'm looking at videos getting ideas. You have a lot of cooking area. I really like that about it.

Im living in Thailand now and have been for 4 years already. I have wanted to get a smoker however the run around over 3000 usd base price here. This is much more economical. Im sure i can find the items needed.

Love this. I was a pit master at a craft BBQ joint in fort worth before I came out to the country. Had to get a different job, but I've been having that itch to cook. Don't have the money for an iron smoker and considered cinder block. Thanks for having this video out here.

I’m going to build mine the same way

Great video

That shit slid

in case you're struggling looking for correct size "dryer vent," the real name for that duct is "thermofin" or "t-fin" duct

A lot of people don't realize that temp isn't controlled at the fire box or inlet side, but rather at the stack or smoke outlet. And this old video another good example of a cinder block smoker. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4G2coSCfrp2o9E

Thanks for the tips. Great vid.

Galvanized puts off toxic fumes when heated like that..

All these filler products you've used, id be concerned about their off gassing and their proximity to the food being cooked 🤔🇦🇺

Creosote is carcinogenic

oyyy

Nice job bro

If I walk away with nothing else? The chimney whole will be used. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

The lid to your pit you may want to think about the pulley system. Add hinges to the back of your lid. Get 4x4.post dig hole and put post in.attach a pulley at top. Attach cable to front of lid. Run cable through pulley and attach a iron ball on end of cable. Now when you go to lift lid the iron balls gown down and helps you lift lid easy. Don't have to worry about sliding lid from side to side. Trust me that iron ball makes it so easy for those lids together. Now if you welded the lids together then you would only need 1 pulley system. Good Luck. Just thought I would give you an idea. Thats the way I did my pit

I recently built one very similar to this, just slightly smaller. Is the steel lid a must? My lid on the smoke chamber is thick plywood. I’ve done a few cooks and none of them have turned out the way it should (no smoke flavor and tough texture) and I cannot figure it out.

12:29 Nice!

Great video very informational, thanks!

i cannot seem to find video of a more detailed plan of the concrete block smoker.

Hey you got some great ideas 💡 👍 Thanks

Good Video!

Where can I find your list to make it?

Just watched the cinder block smoker and this video. I like how well it's working. It's definitely giving me a few ideas. The smoker I have is one of those electric ones. My dad gave it to me about 5 years ago. I think he bought it a few years prior to that. It works well enough, but I'm limited on space. It's only about 14in in diameter. How did the hog turn out? I've shot 2 here in the Eastern panhandle. 1st one was a sow, about 300lbs. It was getting into the plum thickets and it was wonderful after I smoked the front quarters. 2nd one was a boar, about 200-250lbs. It was good, but I'm guessing it got into mesquite beans. The mesquite taste was almost overwhelming.

Hi coach just saw your video. Was wondering how it's holding up and if you could do a quick update vid if you made any changes. Awesome video btw and thank you for posting it

Thanks for the inspiration bro

Thanks for sharing, I'm gonna add the blocks inside the smoker to direct the heat to the middle to mine. Great video!

looks great - use the linseed oil on the smoker too as a protectant, along with a cover.... a water pan next to the firebox is a great baffle and adds moisture to the chamber. Do you use a drip pan under the meat when smoking?

Where could i find the pictures?

Great video thanks

Don't waste your time with high temp paint. Season your metal like you do a cast iron skillet. The paint will peel even if its high temp. Next, no galvanized metal in a smoker....ever.

Really good info, thanks and a like.

Is he saying Texas isn't the south?, Texas is way more southern than Kentucky, we were one of the original 7 confederate states.

Ummmm.... U got holes in your pants brutha..... Ya need a donation ?

Great video Coach, you kick ass

Great video Bro, thanks for sharing, your making me want to build one 😂 I hope you have a lot of fun with your pit. I would love to watch a video of you cooking

Galvanized.... ?? Are you kidding me?

This is tight but one small issue for most of us it's cheaper to buy the cheapest off set smoker 169$ at Lowe's than to buy all the bricks and steel grate plus set up and break down of this pit .

Good job man!!

about how many bricks

I’m building something similar now for our restaurant. Mine is 4 ft wide and 3 ft deep when standing in front of it. My question is if I’m facing the smoker and my firebox is to the lower left corner and the exhaust is at the back right corner will that be alright ? Does the firebox box need to be directly opposite of the exhaust ?

Thanks man! You still around? I am gonna build me one soon.

Excellent job. Thank you very much

Great video- thank you sir👍🏽

A safer option would be 4" aluminum round duct. Not galvanized..... would do the same thing with the vent holes. Love the video!

I'll bet that smoker can smoke a lot of BEEF. Well done and very well explained.

Where did you get your expanded metal?

GALVANIZED METAL GIVES OFF TOXIC FUMES WHEN HEATED. IN GRILLS ALWAYS USE "FLAT" OR "PLAIN" STEEL.
