Best Backyard Smoker Build (Offset Smoker and Charcoal Grill Combo)

[@papajoecooking4425]

I’m 68 yrs old certified welder for 40 yrs.,,,,,a little advise if I may with your cutting torch! You can over power the cutting tip which will give you a sloppy looking cut. When you fire your torch and adjust valves the torch should not sound like a jet. Adjustable tour oxygen so that the blue feathers are short and dark blue. When you mash the oxygen trigger you should not hear a jet but a little louder than a whisper. Your cuts will look more like they were cut with a band saw. The slag on the back side of your cut can be bumped off not hammered off with your chipping hammer. Awesome craftsmanship and pride in your metal fabrication! Enjoyed your video!

[@papajoecooking4425]

For your future wood shelf,,,,,,,use a propane weed torch and scorch the wood. Wipe clean then clear coat! Bug proofed and looks cool!

[@dwyanejetersr6470]

Again, you guys are so much fun to watch, your skills and professionalism is amazing to watch.

[@Timrathmore]

Holy smokes. That smoker will outlive some people. You guys are blessed to have the knowledge and expertise to use all those tools. With all those man hours that smoker should cost my guess 10,000😮. Amaizing build!

[@darylp955]

Looks great, 1 super mini thing I'd do is flip the ball valve around so when it's open you can hang your bucket on the handle and it's down to close.

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

That’s a great idea! We will have to do that.

[@uzenicukadakrenemja]

when you said 80 hours, it took me by surprise. I was thinking it's done in a weekend. I have to plan some extra time when I start :) Thanks for the video.

[@bigrob1887]

Exactly the kind of projects I would've liked to do with my dad. Nice job.

[@angelarodriguez9903]

Smoker and charcoal grill…🤯 Love the stainless steel plate!!!

[@sidneycook3196]

you have an awsome family brother my dad died in 68 i never got to exsperiance that ,

[@brandonl5343]

Just ran across you guys, I’m really impressed with your skills, even down to the five gallon bucket as a welding seat. I love seeing stick welders versus wire and making do with what you have. That’s one heck of a garage shop. Good job men.

[@Timrathmore]

And i see you like an IPA voodoo ranger. Your all set dad and son. Amazing work!!

[@doorjumper2549]

KZbin just recommended your channel and I just subbed, great video guys and I loved the build. Make as many memories with each other as you can, life is too short!

[@joewhitfield2195]

😅

[@christopherday210]

Not to bad for scrapping her together your final product looked well thought out and practical... you didn't do to bad fabbing it up either. Enjoyed the video

[@antoineanderson2415]

Awesome job brother that's something I started doing D.Y.I I don't have a welding machine but screws nuts an boltz work just fine

[@rikscichlidaddiction25]

Wish I had those skills to make one of these. I have a pellet smoker and also the smokey mountain by Weber but an offset would really complete my set up. Hoping to get one soon.

[@b0o_yaa197]

Great video fellas! Love these smoker vids. I am looking into investing in a smoker myself. I need to get into stick burning BBQ. Keep it up fellas

[@enyceofnyc]

Such a great video. WOW. Thanks guys. That grill is a dream, too!

[@Brick_dont_hit_back]

I wish to see this after first rain siting outside

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

@@Brick_dont_hit_back still looks great! Been seasoning it with oil regularly!

[@panworld7523]

One of the most amazing smoker-grill builds on yt. Great job guys!! Thanks for the amazing content. The UV when welding can cause skin cancer on the hands (I've seen it happen) so pleeease use gloves! Take care guys.

[@emmalopez793]

Very nice...plus you and your Pops did it...awesome

[@GeneralFarmer]

Awesome build guys, i learnt heaps for the build i started this week. Messaging all the way from Sydney, Australia!

[@TygerBlueEyes]

SS griddle is cool but a well seasoned plate would be just as good. It will stay looking nicer for a longer time. SS griddle is a pain to maintain. Over all a great design and keep up the hard work! Love the videos.

[@jwhuttocv67]

Impressive build.

[@bubbaC501]

Solid effort! I know you like your stick welder but a decent little MIG and plasma would do you guys wonders! Smoker still looks sweet though!

[@DeltaCharlieMike]

Great build.

[@evansadiedo1102]

Great build 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@Mangoliath]

Great job guys! 👍🏻

[@porky8533]

Awesome job guys

[@marbobatube]

Love what you guys are doing. The smokers look awesome! If your looking for build ideas how about a Santa Maria charcoal grill and steel griddle insert with drip pan for a gas grill

[@S1Alicia]

Very nice!! Congratulations 👍

[@wadelaptiste7817]

Nice work

[@steven00786]

“Trying not to catch the wood on fire. AKA hoping the wood doesn’t catch fire lol. Throw down a cowhide jacket or just clamp a thin gauge plate down over the wood where you are welding. Leave yourself enough space to get your hands in there between the clamp and your work

[@richmag174]

Thanks!

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

Glad you liked the video! More to come!

[@davidschroeder9516]

Try 6011 or 6010 welding rod, better penetration. Works out of position and is better on dirty or rusty metals.

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

Will do thanks for the tip!

[@christophermalone6124]

​​@@fathersondiygarage3580if you haven't ran 6010 or 6011 practice on something first before you weld on your project they hard to run about one of the best welding rods you can get is 7018 all so if you still have the lincoln buzz box if it is ac only 6010 will not work on your welder you will use have to use 6011 because 6010 is dc only and 6011 is ac or dc ps love your videos

[@eynki]

Good build. However. for a smoker it is essential that you can access the food on the grates. Grate slides on the top and bottom is a game changer. it lets you access the meat and spay and rotate. let the bottom and top grates slide out for access

[@MelvinPearl]

Great build r yall selling barrel grills that yall build

[@kevinriddle9829]

Great build! Love you guys content. Keep it coming. That mountain man Breakfast looked amazing! Is that the Dutch oven from the restoration video?

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

Thanks for tuning in! That was a different Dutch oven we own!

[@no.3gardenoffeedin950]

Nice project, but as you said you should've cleaned all that internal rust off, especially where you were welding. 👍🏽

[@__-ul7cc]

Looks amazing. I'm curious, when buying second hand steel, how do you make sure the pipe or whatever steel piece has not been used in something that could in some way make it not food safe? Or how do you make sure the steel hasn't a coating that could be not food safe? I ask because buying second hand seems tempting but what makes me doubt about this idea is related to food safe.

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

When we find the steel we ask the owner what it was previously used for. When we get it home, we pressure wash and sand blast it. Definitely a lot cheaper than buying the steel brand new but it does require a lot more work.

[@__-ul7cc]

@@fathersondiygarage3580 the pressure wash is with water?

[@Ricardo.Mesias]

love it

[@russellcrawford4809]

Heck yeah

Dang you cut the cook chamber door with a sawzall? How thick is the wall of that pipe? Nice build 🍻

Where u at I do want one . I’m in Illinois and I’m loving this 😮😮😮😮

[@mokush4me412]

Nice build.. How much do you think it weighs? 👍🏿

[@user-yb1wi4et6j]

I would wonder about the grease on the grill part.

How much does this grill smoker combo cost as I would like one and do you do financing

Nice 🤙🏽

[@johnsanchez2347]

Looking for a 24×60 smoker. Single door with counter weight double rack. Double true temp gauges drain valve with a 6in smoke stack.what would that cost me?

[@scotts6295]

No credit to Chuds BBQ?

[@hilary2668]

Ha, to buy that much steel, to build something like that here in the UK, you'd need to take out a second mortgage. That would cost an arm and a leg 😅, good luck with that.

[@VernBigDaddy]

Cool Project! I know by now you’ve added a TelTru gauge. Where did you put it? On the cook chamber door?

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

Yeah we put one on the door and we have our probe that goes into the meat as well

[@Bigfishead59]

Honestly, nice father son project for home use. But this could easily be made 500lbs lighter. It doesn't need to survive a nuclear holocaust.

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

[@diggindiggenit6540]

Nice smoker build, might want to just keep that one and not sell it.

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

I think that’s what we are going to do. This thing cooks really good.

[@Play4Vida]

you over did it with the welding .. it didn't need that much weld

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

Rather have too much welding than not enough!!

[@dannyherron9455]

Just curious, how much does it weigh?

[@Sasikumar-wk3if]

Can you give corect measurement in This project

[@ajsironworks3937]

Stick welding is more fun.

[@williebgoodtoot]

No outside the visual temperature gauge

[@drtysnchz7089]

Where do you sell your items ?

[@msabercr]

that welding table is super bowed. nothing straight about that weld up. Also why not bolt the casters on. Welding them seems overkill and hard to replace if one of the casters fails. Should definitely clamp materials that your grinding especially after freshly plasma cutting them. You could say goodbye to junior or open that femoral artery very quickly if your not careful. You also want to be wearing a respirator when welding stainless due to hexavalent chromium gas venting that could occur during stainless welds. Also, it's probably a better idea to remove the rust before you start welding. you should also weld a dam across the bottom of the fire box throat so grease doesn't run into the fire box and start a grease fire that ruins your cook.

[@dfrmotorsports4591]

Get you a piece of carpet so when your grinding the piece doesn't move

[@fattyfat-fat6639]

Best way start ANY long and complicated project build is to first give a tour of it, and show how it works, then show the build. Don't wait to the end to explain how it all works - that's just wrong. Not in a 45 minute long vid, anyway!!!

[@Brick_dont_hit_back]

Nice but to heavy

[@waaagh3203]

"80 hours worth of work". Yeah, that's a lot of work, but consider this: that smoker is going to last a long, long time. So if you are into metal working, building one is worth 80 hours easily imo.

[@kazykamakaze131]

I just don't know why people make bases with such thick steel. 2-3mm thick can carry 100's of kg's, especially if you have a square as to stop bowing. Save your money et thinner steel for the base, then use that to get good wheels and hinges rather.

[@shaon_rahman_khan]

Thats too thin. The golden standard is 1/4 inch which is 6-7 mm

[@vasilich9117]

Несомненно, проделана большая работа, но вид смокера конечно страшненький ( кустарный, неаккуратный )

[@GaryBenaszeski]

I enjoyed the video guys but if you value your time (80 hours) it seems likely buying one from a quality mfd. like lone star would be cheaper!
