[@MadScientistBBQ]

Hey ant! Happy to see you cook on the prototype. Hopefully we can get you swapped out for a production unit here soon! Also agreed on the Porter road ribs. Exceptionally tasty pork.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Great pit, brother! Loving it so far 😁

[@southernoutdoors1862]

Just followed your channel amazing video and review!!! Note to J Yoder bro people know to NEVER trust a man wearing Patagonia sealing anything, especially a puffy jacket!!! Unless it’s a doctor in the cardio or neurology field 😂 I been eyeing that Goldie’s offset but I had no idea mad scientist made a offset like I said great video thanks 👊🏼

[@gourmetwoodsman]

It's awesome to see how much your channel has grown and evolved in such a short time! It's obvious that your putting your heart into it and doing the work. Much respect brother, keep it up! 🤙

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you, man!

[@marcosa3784]

Tried this glaze…. Absolutely FANTASTIC ! Why can’t more people share recipes like this?! Thanks Ant!

[@1cctru]

Bro, my guy built this for me back in January and I gotta say it’s almost identical Mine are a little bigger dimensions Amazing to cook on

[@prosmokebbq8530]

Looks so fun! We will be importing these to Europe later this year 🎉

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Cool!

[@SAKIZORRI671]

I would love to see cook off between this smoker against a work horse pit.

[@Justin_Alfeche]

Lol wish this had come out before I got my Franklin 2 years ago. Love the Franklin obviously, but I love supporting smaller creators of content I enjoy. And my wife might have appreciated the price more lol.

[@GrillSergeant]

That new pit looks sweet! The color on those ribs were killer! 🔥

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you, yeah liking it so far. I think it did awesome first cook!

[@williamwilson2624]

This looks like a good combination of price and performance. The ribs looked great! Excellent video.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

🙏🙏

[@dustinscroggins3382]

Ive been using that seasoning combo lately really good

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Yeah I love meat church on ribs. The salt ratio is perfect. Not too salty

[@vicsstang89]

This looks like the perfect backyard pit.

[@vanq884]

Thanks!

[@andrewpope204]

Great video! That pit looks nice! I've been torn between sucking it up and buying a trailer offset or getting a backyard offset. Feel like you always want more room. The fact that you can cook on the whole grate is a game changer though.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Yeah it’s pretty big for a backyard smoker. Can do 4 briskets easy

[@christopherday210]

I Like were Jeremy is going with his design.

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

Nice looking pit and nice video Ant

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thanks bro!

[@asdouifghpiuashbef6427]

i wanna see biscuit test footage of this offset

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I will do a biscuit tests with different damper adjustments and moving the scoop in my next solution video. It will be pretty extensive

[@bbqbeer1883]

Looking at how those ribs came out and that rack that was real close to the firebox didn't burn up I'm sold on this smoker🍺🍻

[@williemakeit7185]

Me too. If you remember the Lablogga channel way back, he tried this exact baffle and it burned super uneven and radiant heat caused issues up front. Mad Scientist literally cozies up to pit builders and BBQ joints with a good reputation and sucks them dry of info to put out. Can't say I am a fan. Cannot believe Aaron let him interview him.

[@richardrucker15]

Anybody know what size holes they're running in the baffle I see somebody else doing it but their holes look. way bigger

[@lancedean5987]

Love the Sailor Moon apron

[@joshuatrotter1696]

I love your apron and your vids keep it up

[@AntsBBQCookout]

[@richardrucker15]

Is the scoop 1/4" also

[@cowleysmobilewelding]

Lol literally the same smoker I built 4 years ago. Does the job and tastes great

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Awesome!

[@wallysworld5584]

Do those ribs come already trimmed and membrane removed? They looked amazing straight out of the package.

[@Dan-pp8oy]

Thanks Ant…just signed up.

Yeah bro been a minute haha

[@Calibir1]

I thought this was a Mad Scientist video. Nice looking bbq/smoker.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

haha yeah the thumbnail is SO mad scientist 😂

[@rdelalto123]

What mods are you doing on the vertical baffle? What size are those holes on it?

[@richardrucker15]

That's what I'm wondering

[@dweb2275]

Reverse Flow is where it's at. Love my Lang!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

would love to cook on a reverse flow again.. only done it once. i think theyre great cookers, everyone is on the traditional offsets because it's the trend right now, but reverse flows are really good too!

[@shonhatley541]

OMG! When is this smoker from Mad Scientist BBQ available to the public. I want one... Great video. Please keep'em coming.

Definitely need Firecups to light that pit 🔥

[@brettwing737]

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Yeah you are correct

[@randyshifter]

i like that pit, simple, great review Ant.. good job on that design Jeremy..

[@AntsBBQCookout]

🙏

[@rob5724]

Ant, I'm curious, now that you have reviewed both Mad Scientist backyard smoker and Goldees backyard smoker. How do they compare. I'm mainly asking about the cooking chamber part; you know with Goldees you have the elbow pipe coming out the top of the firebox. Whereas, with Mad Scientist, it has that more traditional look with what he calls "the solution scoop" inside the pit itself. I would assume both are "basically" using a similar concept, with the smoke being pulled over the top of the meat. However, with Jeremy's due to the holes on the scoop you get a little of heat and smoke seeping through under the meat, much like a traditional offset. This idea kind of reminds me of M&M's vent system. Just curious. Keep of the great work my man. I have to say your long form short films of the different bbq joints are AWESOME.

[@samsonhorvath3614]

Wondering if they would just sell heat deflectors for other pits?

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I don’t think they’re planning on doing that, but who knows in the future. Bur by the summer, they’re gonna roll out 3 tiers. You can buy the pit for $2500 (which you can do now), or buy the parts and weld it all together for cheaper, or get the blueprints for free and make one yourself

[@kdranchaz3240]

If you had to choose between this pit and the Goldee’s pit?

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Haven’t used MSBs pit enough to say. The Goldees pit cooks the best brisket I’ve experienced on a backyard offset. But if I only had a 3k budget for sure the solution.

[@edsmileytube]

Thanks Ant for the video. I'm interested in learning how he landed on the $2500 price point. It kinda puts it right smack in the middle compared to $500-1500 for the "low end" Oklahoma Joe or Old Country BBQ pits or the $3500-$4000 for the "premium" Workhorse, LSG, or Goldees pits. I feel that folks either want to dabble with something on the low end or ready to go full throttle with premium smoker. I'd love to hear the thought on why someone would go with this vs. save a grand and get something like a Brazos (or even a G2 on coupon from Academy) or spend an extra $1000 to get something premium like a Workhorse, LSG, Goldees.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

The solution is in the same category as a workhorse or Goldees milscale pit. The quality on OCP is just really poor in my opinion. I need to run more tests, but if you want a traditional offset for your backyard the solution seems like the one. The Goldees pit I think will get you the best brisket though. It just renders fat so well, amazing design.

[@davidchavarria2992]

@@AntsBBQCookoutSounds like a fantastic video idea. Lots of bbq politics would be involved though, ha.

[@gigsurvey6791]

@@AntsBBQCookout I have an OCP Brazos, and G2: welds and quality are best I've seen, I'll put them up against mill scale and Franklin. I guess I don't understand how one can make a generalized, blanket statement on OCP's quality. Understand you are trying to sell smokers, totally get it, but please don't do it at the expense of trashing a competitor, it's irresponsible. I'm sure the "solution" is a great smoker, I'm open minded, will give it a try.

[@hardog22]

Let me get the prototype when you are done with it? I’ll figure out the freight on my end

[@BenFeldman-kz7gt]

Ant, Good video! I am confused! Jeremy said the smoker is made in Texas, but SmokerBuilder is in Missouri. I would like to hear Frank Cox comment on this smoker. That is an unusual price point for a 1/4 thick offset. What are it’s limitations besides size? Hope to hear more!👍

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I think for this line it’s made in Texas. I know for sure the pipe is made in Texas. But check out the video in the description. Jeremy goes over more nuanced details there

[@JJ-hh5sf]

Need more goldees videos!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

More to come!

@@AntsBBQCookout Ohhh ok 😂😂😂 had me confused asf bro

[@winstonmcgill6667]

Good price point

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Yeah it’s amazing

[@polsok44]

Will be interesting how this compares to the new G2 smoker, ppl have been saying good things about it

[@AntsBBQCookout]

I’ve seen the G2 in person. The solution is much better looking. No disrespect to OCP but there builds and welds are super wonky. Idk about how it the G2 runs though

[@gigsurvey6791]

@@AntsBBQCookout Disagree, I have a G2, so glad I purchased it. Welds are perfect. To the BBQ Aficionado audience, this is just one man's opinion, try it for yourself. I love my OCP G2, next up is the OCP Gravity Fed Smoker.

Question ... Jeremy says made in Texas but I believe SmokeBuilder is in Missouri .... So where is it made actually ... thx

what did he steal?

Should have built a reverse flow smoker. Once you see the advantages and actually use a reverse flow smoker. You will never use on offset again.
