Had my Workhorse 1975 a few weeks and love it!

[@tylerfloyd843]

This was awesome show Kevin! Thanks for the awesome content!

[@ryanb4481]

1975 owner here. Absolutely love that smoker.

[@mikebowerstv]

Awesome interview! I’ve seen their pits at Hurtado’s but didn’t know much about them. That 1975t is on my wish list. It’s perfect to take to a friends house or family gathering to cook on-site! I really enjoy your content and appreciate your time and effort to bring these stories to everyone.

[@prosmokebbq8530]

Thanks for the shout out!! We are shipping primitive and workhorse pits all over the world 🔥

[@BushiBato]

Thanks for the great interviews across the Barbecue world

[@kevinsbbqjoints]

Thank you. That means so much. I am trying my best to chat to a mix of people across all barbecue world. Appreciate you watching.

[@BackyardWarrior]

Great interview and content in this channel ... WH PITS ARE AMAZING🔥🔥🔥

[@ronhenderson7257]

I've been patiently waiting for my WH 1975 Wagon since May. Couple hiccups in shipping to opposite corner of the country, but I'm confident the 1975 will be worth the wait. Great interview!

[@SamFerrugiacraftbbq]

Great interview I’ve been blessed to be able to be friends with JD over the past two years and he is the same guy off camera. One of the best guys you will ever meet. I also own a 1975 and a trailer primitive they’re truly great machines.

[@fredjones6975]

I have had my 1969 for about a year now and really love it - great pit.

[@fredjones6975]

also...customer service is second to none; Ashley was great.

[@FernandoGonzalez-ke3bi]

We run twins 1k from PP and we are extremely happy with the results. JD and his team are awesome, committed people who are helping the barbecue community to expand. Great interview Kevin!

[@jimshackelford_icu812]

Hands down best company I’ve dealt with. So helpful and jd from talking on the phone fantastic person to deal with.

[@williemakeit7185]

Great interview. Third generation Texan and I can tell you he has some loyalist down here. Their customer service is exceptional and their smokers are a pitmasters dream. Keep it up!

[@kevinsbbqjoints]

That is SO great to hear. From a customer. He's truly dedicated to his product and customer service. Thank you for checking it out!

[@MrPanthers23]

Loved this interview. One of these days I'll buy a workhorse.

[@kevinsbbqjoints]

Thank YOU! I know you'll be beyond satisfied if you do. I need to as well :)

[@okcharleys]

Patiently waiting for my Primitive Pit, coming in a few months. Can attest to the customer service. They are awesome. Great to hear all the other things they have cooking!

[@kevinsbbqjoints]

NICE! Let me know what you think when you get it! Thanks for checking this out.

[@yokabarbecue8003]

I love my 1975. Looking forward to one day having a 250 from Primitive.

[@no_skool_bbq]

Loving my 1975. Sometimes I think I should’ve gotten at 250 instead.

[@yokabarbecue8003]

@@no_skool_bbq I agree. But then I would probably be saying the same about a 500 🤣

[@no_skool_bbq]

@@yokabarbecue8003 Indeed! I know I’m maxed at a 500. I don’t have the space to store anything larger.

[@GregLindquist]

I can't recommend WH enough. I wish I had more free time to use it!

[@ThemistoclesAD]

Damn I really want one of these

[@kevinsbbqjoints]

Same. Super great product with tons of research behind them. Thanks so much for watching this too. Appreciate it.

[@davidgarcia-zd3mw]

Just purchased my 1969 today 😁

[@kevinsbbqjoints]

Nice!! What kind of lead time are they at right now? I'm putting together a list of custom pit builders that have backyard models and would love to have up-to-date info.

[@davidgarcia-zd3mw]

@@kevinsbbqjoints the website says 175 days but I still haven't been given my ETA for my order, I believe they said they will give me that within 2 weeks of ordering the pit

[@kevinsbbqjoints]

@@davidgarcia-zd3mw OK. I would check in with them as I hear their customer service is really solid. Please let me know.

[@davidgarcia-zd3mw]

@@kevinsbbqjoints customer service has been solid, actually exchanged a few emails with them on another topic; but one thing I learned, I confused the anticipated start date for the anticipated completion date, so while I went into this thinking I would have my smoker ready in time for thanksgiving turkey, I now learned that the smoker start to be built October 24th, I still dont have an estimated completion date, hope that gives you a data point, I'm going to keep my order and just hold onto my Oklahoma Joe's to get me by until the 1969 is ready

[@no_skool_bbq]

I love my Workhorse 1975. As my business grows I ponder if a Primitive Pits 250 is in my future, or should go 500?

[@no_skool_bbq]

@@halomaster9640 a 500 is only 3-ft longer than a 250. A 500 has a 38-in diameter vs. a 250’s 31-in diameter. That’s a lot more space on not that much bigger of a footprint 🤔

[@mgp-bct7723]

Only one you issues why in the world 🌎 they can cut the one inch lower make bottom shelf slide to ? 1975 smoker

[@ajramirez2291]

This guy takes a lot of veiled shots about other pit builders, while explaining away how bad some of his own products have been. What a clown. Anyone who has seen up close or used a primitive know how much “science and engineering” went into it.

[@darrenc3895]

AJ You call JD a clown? He didn't start Primitive as a welder like yourself. He is an engineer and it might be warranted to do deeper research as I have done. I personally know (not including myself) two CFD FEA engineers that have had face to face meetings with JD and he provided scientific explanations and data. I flat out ask him where he did CFD testing. So many people choose Primitive because he hides nothing and the smokers work extremely well. I also asked Mark Black of Terry Black's who owns Moberg's, Mill Scale and Primitive.
