Thanks from NY, for including the tip about making sure the foundation is beneath the frost line.
@matermark4 жыл бұрын
Think about what he said, how could that be? Northern states frost lines are 36"-42". That's impossible. It would be like 6 to 9 cubic yards just for the flat base to the soil level, not including the pad above ground! There must be a different way, like a floating pad for northern states. I had a similar idea for a smoke box but my idea was to put a second floor 12 to 18 inches below the main floor and at the back of the main floor, have an opening for smoke from a fire on the lower floor to come up and pass around the meat to be smoked on its way to the front chimney. You can also use the opening to brush your ashes then remove them from the lower floor...

Hey Lee, that`s a great video! I did an apprenticeship with an old school plumbing firm in the north of England, we did everything from fixing a leaky fawcet to lead glazing to large scale heating, plumbing drainage and roofing construction projects. I`ve done plenty of lead, zinc and copper roofs in my younger days. The secret to getting the patina on copper roofs is as old as time and it is this........ One time I was fitting a copper roof on a catholic church in the shape of an A-Frame, and the old priest was amazed at how the bright copper sheets we placed each day, would turn green overnight. He`d often ask me how this happened and I`d always tell him it was a miracle! One day he saw one of the lads on the scaffold with a mop bucket, mopping the roof. He asked me what was in the bucket and I told him it was Holy Water! What it actually was, was piss ! The lads would piss in buckets throughout the day and we`d mop this on the new sheets before leaving site for the day. The acid in the urine reacted with the copper and turned it green! If you try this with modern copper sheets, they often have an oil based protective compound on them which has to be removed with detergent , first.

I used fire brick on the inner dome and I think that is the smart thing to do. Regular bricks might work, but then again, they might not. I would spend the small amount of extra money on the fire brick so I don't have problems later on - because it will be hard to fix if you do.

I am sorry if these questions have been asked and answered, but you seem to have a lot of comments on here (for good reason.) Has it lived up to your full expectations as a smoker? In hindsight do you think having the box at the back of the smoker would have made for a better airflow throughout the whole chamber, instead of cutting across diagonally? Also, do you use any types of racks or grates for the meats your smoking to envelope them in the smoke? Thank you for this amazing video, and the knowledge you have shared.
@LeeMcNeil9 ай бұрын
Yes, everything still works great, except for the finished colored concrete top that I installed toward the end of the project, is completely falling apart. I'm planning to replace them with granite soon. Other than that, the three biggest things I would change if I did it again would be to make the floor of the oven higher (it's kind of difficult to see into or move things around in the oven without being really bent over), I would turn the opening of the fire box toward the front of the oven instead of pointing out to the side (the fire box location on the side of the oven works fine though), and lastly, I wish I had built myself some additional prep area. The home plate shaped slab of granite works great, but I wish I have two or three times much space on it.

Just watched this and wanted to say awesome job, not only on the build and construction but on the video and explaining the whys and how’s. Really informative stuff. I’m only at the information gathering phase of my pizza oven journey but this video is by far the best I’ve seen, thanks for the time and effort spent sharing this Lee.

Wow. I'm not even kidding. This is hands down the best pizza oven video on KZbin. THANK YOU! I'm doing my research now for my summer pizza oven project and I SO appreciate the effort you put into making this video. As someone else stated, you, sir, are a legend! 🙌 I have no doubt I'll be watching your videos a number of times before and during my build. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. I tried to be as comprehensive as I could without making this a two hour long video, but I know it didn't cover every single thing you need to know, so let me know if you have any questions during your research or when you start building.
