BBQ Santa has welded our hearts.

[@The_IncrediSteve]

Henceforth, Bradley shall be known as BBQ Santa! 😂😂

[@abmtz8537]

BBQ Santa has to build a Santa Maria Grill

[@ArgentoRAWRz]

cheesy

[@dwhonan]

I fully echo Brad's tips about tools. I got my start in hobby welding a few years ago specifically to build my own smoker (it was my wife's idea!), and I wish I had known about the existence of chop saws years earlier. They make precise, clean cuts, and significantly reduce the amount of time spent cleaning up (or fixing) cuts vs those I made with a cutoff wheel. One angle grinder is a bore; getting a second (which I haven't done yet) would definitely be an enormous time saver. I do recommend using a full face shield when grinding as that provides more protection than just glasses. A tip for buying steel: Spend some time digging around your local scrap yard. I got a 4'x8' sheet of 1/4" plate and a couple 8' pieces of relatively straight 1"x1" tube for $100, an enormous cost savings over buying new (they were covered in rust, of course, but that wasn't a problem for the look I was going for). Also, if you want to use horseshoes for various things (door stops, handles, a wine bottle rack for your wife, etc.), see if there's a farrier in your area who has worn shoes they're looking to get rid of -- usually they have to pay for disposal.

[@orvillemeek6893]

Great presentation...newly retired after 45 years in the construction industry with lots of tools and experience I'm lookin forward to building my own smoker...I love my Weber Kettle but being able to say "Oh, the smoker...I built that" will be really satisfying...keep up the good work!

[@williambrooymans6208]

I built my offset myself and I can confirm: it's a satisfying flex to say that 😂😂😂

[@Jmdialysis]

My friend and I watch you all the time and he's an electrician. He can do your outlets for less than half what they charged. Real offer. He also built a reverse flow smoker himself.

[@safwan78]

That would be a solid video

[@jnaughtin]

This series is a game changer for you. It boggles me that your cooking videos don't get millions of views, but this may help bridge the gap and get people interested in all your endeavors.

[@rmw9669]

I've been TIG welding stainless for 20 years. Your presentation to the beginning home welder is awesome. Nice work. I've only been cooking for about 4 years. Love your cooks also. Cheers from Buffalo, NY 🍻

[@robertpalmer3166]

I haven't built a smoker yet. Soon. I have built sort of a small live fire pit out of a farm disc with an adjustable height grill. Next is a full on Argentine open fire rig. And it's all based on a set of antique cast iron freight cart wheels. It already ways 150 lbs. and I haven't even started on it yet. 😁 Love your content by the way. Very helpful. And, I also graduated from the KZbin School of Welding.

[@CurtisWise-qk8bl]

Now THIS!!! Is what I been waiting for.

[@dand3975]

Lincoln Viking 3350 welding helmet, had one for a year, Deffinately worth the money. True colors, excelent headgear and wide veiwing window. First helmet I owned that the hood stayed up, never slips down like most helmets do. I arrived here after watching Chud sausage making videos.

[@danjennings5068]

I've been welding on and off for nearly 2 decades now and seriously considered building my own large offset. However giant propane tanks don't grow on trees here in CA like they do in TX and getting one here would have basically made my homemade smoker cost just as much as purchasing a pro unit. So yeah... I will say, if you're a new welder or even an experienced one trying to blow out the cobwebs, Jody's channel Welding Tips and Tricks is the go to channel to learn or improve your welding game. There is nothing else out there like his content.

[@CWCSCanadianWood]

I literally CANNOT wait for this series dude! I've been curious AF about this process for a minute and would love to get my learning on!

[@kentwilson7080]

What great timing most of my steel was delivered yesterday for my smoker. Just need the smoke chamber it’s coming next week. Winning from Australia!

[@ck_sidekick8306]

IDK how much traction this series will get you in the short term, but longevity is gonna be there. A solid start to finish series is impossible to find on KZbin.

[@johnsheridan6452]

Hardest part to building mine is finding good tanks to start with. The building is the easy and fun part.

[@andykenyon2699]

I'm from NW Washington state. When I started my BBQ addiction, I had little to no experience cooking on a large pit , as a result, I didn't realize the science it takes to build a quality pit. I highly recommend Feldons smoker calculator , its free to use online. It will recommend fire chamber size, chimney size and length based on smoker size and cook chamber volume. This boys and girls will save you countless hours struggling with , "Why won't my pit draft and cook evenly?" and "Why can't I control my heat?" . I wish I had found the calculator before I made my first mistake, erh I mean smoker. The next build was a 288 gallon reverse draft tow behind with large warming chamber above the firebox. I couldn't be happier with it! Thanks for the content Brad, I really enjoy your style. It's humble, and your just do it cuz you want to attitude is refreshing.

[@PaulJMorey]

I’m really excited to see this series!

[@beerayfarms7979]

Can’t wait to see what you build here.

[@kylechapman710]

Nice job buddy. You had Jeremy wondering why it was so good. Hahaha loved it.

[@tofast4ualll]

Here...We... Go... (Joker Voice). Can't wait!

[@MrWillowbeard]

Sooooo excited to follow along on the build series. Excellent video!

[@nathanielsinnott7783]

Dude, I am not a licensed electrician, but i wired my whole wood shop and basement and replaced the knob and tube in my house. I would gladly help you out (if you have the service for it) for a couple beers (maybe some rye later on) and some hands-on instruction on brisket trimming and cooking. I built my offset and have been smoking for a bit, but my brisket still sucks (as much as any brisket can). Anyhow, thanks for all the content. You're the best.

[@stevepereira8898]

Chuds Builds are back, cool

[@Qdarnell89]

Watch your videos all the time. Love the content. Im an electrician in austin and also love to bbq!

[@christoskettenis880]

Excellent idea for a video series. Looking forward to it

[@konads10]

This is awesome. Can't wait to see the whole series!

[@MR_R.o.b.o.t.o]

METAL SCRAP YARD = GOLD..PAWN SHOP= TOOLS= Awesome

[@aarond7678]

I am SO excited for this series! I have been wanting to build my own smoker but felt like I did not know enough to do it. Can’t wait to learn.

[@lohengrin5082]

Thank you so much!!! I now have nightmares about grabbing an angle grinder brush and turning it on!

[@mikeselltgmail]

Yes! I've been waiting for the smoker build series. Now to go back and watch that very first video he mentioned. Thanks Brad!

[@grant8653]

Can we get a Brad on Brad episode! Get Brad Leone in a room with Sir Bradley of the Chuds!

[@blakewilliams8821]

Hey guy, I watch all of your videos. I like the stuff you do as im a welder myself. I said I wouldn’t be “that guy” until you mentioned wanting the right terminology for metal. So I’ll respectfully say, the “roll up tape measure” is called a wrap-around.

[@johnnunez17]

Very cool change up. Should be fun to watch.

[@bendellarocco1139]

Thank you so much for making these videos. Ive ALWAYS wanted to try this myself.

[@narbekalantarians6269]

Can't wait to see the rest of this series. My brother has the same welder and got it when he was making smokers.

[@CurtisHodgin]

This is going to be a great series! Inspiring me to finish one I started and have been letting sit!

[@derekrobinson2287]

Can't wait to watch this whole series!!!

[@braydenwhite5016]

Absolutely LOVE this Brad

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Looking forward to this series Brad! Gr8 vid!!!

[@brewster84067]

LOVE IT! Thank you for taking us through the welding / learning journey. Tough to get into offset smoking and NOT want to know how to build a smoker (at least for me). Looking forward to now learning about both skillsets. Keep up the great work!

[@jon0807]

I really appreciate this series! I've been wanting to make my own offset for a while now, but there isn't a detailed guide out there. This is perfect for what I need!

[@se7002t]

Excited for this series!

[@kubickibob]

This series is perfect timing for me. I am just about to buy a welder and learn how to do this so this couldn’t come at a better time. Thanks for sharing you knowledge and insight and I can’t wait to learn from you.

[@stonee1968]

Good stuff - appreciate the honesty and basics of the series.

[@richardblack6818]

Chuds BBQ & Metalworking Emporium.

[@adamkaatz2015]

This is awesome Chud! What a great idea!! Can’t wait for the rest of the videos, I love my reverse flow!

[@mattv16031]

Very cool. I’m really looking forward to this series!

[@stevenosborn8416]

Thank you Brad! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@thefamilyfriendsandfunchan3548]

Here's a thought. A Mini Chud Box, but put an offset smoker chamber on the side with a sliding door to close the hole when you aren't using it.

[@daniel9453]

Stoked for this series!

[@C-Mah]

Thanks for this series.

[@nevereverbeendonebefore]

Hell yea!! I've been wanting this type of video/series ever since seeing your build videos!

[@thefoleys2515]

I am excited for this series! Thanks to you I Finally built my own pit last year

[@jeffmueller9422]

Looks like a Chud's Pizza Oven!!!

[@JevonHills_elcaminoit]

Great Start!!!! I'm looking forward to the next videos in the series. My buddy and I have built two smokers based on your build videos so far. Can't wait to see what we guess right and what we missed.

[@gtroxlar8597]

Fireball square, i have a whole set of them alum and cast iron. Great squares.

[@danielbingham5609]

Thank you for making BBQ super fun. Love all of your videos.

[@gregory2709]

This is the series we need! I can't wait to see the future episodes.

[@rchuyck]

Great video, cant wait to see the follow on ones. Love the build videos

[@austinmcqueen6745]

this is going to be an awesome mini Chud series cant wait for the next one!!

[@fewten27nc]

Having 25 years of welding and fabricating experience under my belt, you explain it pretty good. Nice 👍🏾

[@SuperPfeif]

Thank you for doing the build series.

[@AlLunacyQing]

Sounds like the beginning of a great series. I just bought a flux and going to learn on that but thanks for sharing all this info!

[@tacosforlife1]

You are the best I’m really excited to see the series 👍

[@jamesmatt1524]

Well done Brad!! Look forward to this series!!

[@polskaking69]

I'm an east coast based bbq enthusiast. This series might convince me to design and build my own smoker. Been looking at Meadow Creek for a while. Keep it up please. Very inspirational and educational.

[@HanRaph]

The first vid that I've watched of yours was a smoker build or a chud box, don't remember and I've watch every single vid you dish out after that. Staid for the food and the stupendous vibe, now it's coming back to the welding and building of stuff, and I'm here for it Brad.

[@NickFrongillo]

God damn am I excited for this series

[@cbagg6]

Excited for this series 👊🏼

[@crackyflipside]

Hell yeah, this is a great idea for a series in-between the cooking videos. Thank you

[@Wi_Yeti_Official]

What a great series idea. Hell yeah

[@karlgustafson7850]

Love it man! Thanks for doing this.

[@wyrwolff]

Looking forward to this series :)

[@FernandoRodriguez-gx1gq]

Pretty dope start to a series. I too built my own out of a 250 gallon because the wait list was insane as well as the pricing! I have since parted with it and had someone build me one. I now want to build another, its addicting!

[@michaelhernandez2584]

Awesome I'm all in on this series

[@SouthwestOhioBBQ]

Can't wait to see the finished product and how it cooks!

[@gourdbox]

Chud I haven’t done a smoker yet but I welded up a rib rack Sunday and smoked some baby back ribs yesterday! Your channel is one of a couple that got me back into welding after 20 odd years!

[@harrypearce1802]

Been waiting for this forever! So keen

[@jcjufer2737]

Cant wait for the rest of them. !!

[@MarkGoble]

Highly anticipating this series, Brad.

[@mojosvideos2298]

Glad you’re making these tutorials Brad

[@christopherharrisintexas]

Can't wait to see more!

[@KENNEY1023]

This is going to be a great series. Doesn't matter five videos or 100. A lot of great information in this video. Your work is really clean and professional looking.

[@jimmycodmw2]

LOVE THIS SERIES !!!!

[@chrisquin9]

YES! Love the change

[@BillBerrymanbigfuzzyroadman]

I've seen a lot of your videos and I always thought that you were a trained welder and that your passion for barbecue outweighed the desire to make a living as a welder. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@lartez2002]

Looking forward to more of these videos. I've been thinking about getting into welding to build my own pit...so thanks in advance. 💯

[@haroldfroese1754]

I've been waiting for exactly this video. Big fan, love your work

[@clintlockhart433]

This series has me stoked! I literally just got a small Lincoln Mig welder to do some rocker work on my truck. However, building a smoker is on my list!

[@SD-rq2ob]

iI asked that very question on a live chat, looking forward to the builds 👍🏼

[@christianmitchell9789]

Great job on this!

[@AnthonyMaske]

This series has me excited! One stop channel! Learn how to build a smoker, learn how to use a smoker, and learn a lot of awesome recipes...! YUT!

[@dubehigh]

You’re going to like how the RFS works. It’s all I ever build. More even temps across the whole smoker. And the plate on the bottom can be used as a flat top grill.

[@jonhightower3505]

Sweet, I like it B. Good content mate, looking forward to the series.

[@kenluning909]

Awesome video. Can't wait to see the next installment. I use my Grandparents 1950 Frigidaire. Works great as a vertical smoker.

[@shawngillogly6873]

Good start. Way beyond my skill set. But still fun to watch.

[@davidr8895]

Love the channel Brad! I switched from square tubing to angle because square tubing will eventually rust-through from the inside-out. You can always clean/repaint angle.

[@BigLezBBQ]

Really looking forward to this series of video. I would love to build my own offset smoker ❤

[@patrickr.8116]

Rich and compelling👌🏽

[@JohnAllmond-zd7ur]

Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos on the reverse flow love all your videos so far so I know I’m not going to be disappointed hurry with the build so we can go cook something outside

[@jcjufer2737]

Great starter video..!!
