Excellent Video You guys did a great job 🙏

Thanks for watching

greetings from Russia, next week I will start collecting a Smoker and join the American cuisine

[@carlbrooks68]

Just one person's opinion. The setup and Chamber design are Just older classic Joe Davidson design from The Oklahoma Joes Smoker company. The fact you put your time into it and With the Your Father to me makes it Just over the top. Great Build and Time well spent with your Dad.

[@user-yh7lm8cy5y]

Looks like it's got great draw, nice job guys.

[@Greymery72362]

Before this pit, only twinkies would survive a nuclear fallout. Well done!

[@Romas65]

Love it guys, Father and Son dual team, the smoker looks great. I would name this smoker " Tank" heavy armor.

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

You got that right this one was a beast

[@CarlosVera-tv3yo]

WOW you guys are a great team. Really impressive Joe you guys make it look easy. Looking forward to seeing you guys new builds.

[@samnorton9397]

When bending the bars for the hinges add a little heat to them from the oxygen acetylene makes like much easier. Love the builds well done 👏

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

Definitely doing this!

[@valeriemariewee]

Awesome build. Like the "trim" to create a seal around the firebox door, but don't think it's necessary with the door being open for air flow. I did have a few suggestions: - I would ditch the heat deflector plate as that will disrupt the arc of smoke. - I would also add a thermometer to the cooking chamber, especially at grate level. - What about an expanded metal wall around the storage shelf? Then the wood splits wouldn't fall down. Overall, great job guys. Super cool to see a well thought out, heavy duty smoker.

[@valeriemariewee]

What gauge steel did you select for the cooking grates?

I checked offer up to see if any smokers were around my area like this one and looks like youre a few miles away from me. What a small world haha. Good job!

[@rockystephens3982]

Looks great!! The only thing I would change is drill a hole for your temperature probe over time the door will cut the wire .

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

Yeah you are right!!! We noticed that when we started cooking

[@freshkicks9243]

I really enjoyed this video. I’ve seen the big names build them and so far this one wins the detail and measurement award. If I would just complain about 1 thing it would be no thermometer reader. 3k sounds fair

Yeah that was a great idea. We did a cool on the smoker and it turned out amazing! Held heat good. We will be posting that cook in the next few days!

Great looking smoker and very skilled welding. Looking to build my own. Did you calculate relationship of fire box volume to cook chamber volume and stack volume for airflow and draw or was it a gut feeling kind of thing. Hope mine looks and cooks as well as yours. Cheers

Fair price

[@SmokinSession24]

I subscribed

[@armandoa5468]

This is a beautiful build but at 3k my opinion that a bit to much...workhorse 1975, Gator pits and Lone Star Grillz all have pits for less. Also speak from experience I would wear welding respirator mask when you removing all that rust from the pipes...that's not good for your lungs and overall health. New subscriber keep up the great work!

[@fsthomson]

$3k is totally fair. Where I live, commercially available builds like this go for more like $5k.

[@MICKIN310]

how did that false bottom work out on heat retention ? ima build one in a few weeks I was quoted 7K for the one I wanted using 2' DIA pipe $ your price is very fair ... well I got a barn welders , crane cherry picker plasma cutters and a torch so why not LOL

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

@@MICKIN310 false bottom works great. Definitely helps with heat retention on long cooks. Get out and build one!

[@logandowner7405]

I think what you guys are doing is great and I wish my dad was still around to do projects with but I think $3k is steep for this. My basis for that is that somebody could get a Workhorse Pits 1975 for a little less than 3k with a pull out shelf. Not trashing this at all and if you sell it for $3k then I'm happy for you. Personally, I probably wouldn't pay it.

[@jack0903]

What welding rods are you using.

[@grantjamrock3812]

Even at 20" it seems small. Ever think of cutting it length wise so not only to take the spring tension out of it so the door will fit better but then to add like a 4" section of plate to make it 24" around!?!?

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

It’s perfect size for back yard smoking. We cooked on it and fit 2 briskets and 2 racks of ribs. But Definitely if we wanted bigger that would work great!!

[@markhenry4054]

Where do you buy your pipe from?

[@NorthernThaiGardenGuy]

Beautiful craftsmanship. Couple of questions and a suggestion. I didn't see you cut the entry into the smoke stack pipe. Did that happen? The deflector plate at the firebox is going to create a hotspot right in the middle of your grate at the bottom. And have you seen the steam injection video from Smoke Trails BBQ? That one is a game changer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZyqlWSnmdCLsNk
