Large bbq grill with griddle style rack

Building my biggest octagon grill yet and a griddle style rack

[@KPlainfeather08]

Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier kzbin.infoUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.

Wow that was some impressive torch work when you free handed that arc!

[@jcorcoran04]

You are the definition of American made quality. Keep up the good work

[@ajsironworks3937]

Hey Alan. Building another smoker and I cut out the firebox door with a cutting wheel!!!! You inspired me and it came out good and I got all my fingers too!!!

[@timamend8733]

Great work, as usual Allen. I got a wire-feed welder in my garage that's pretty heavy duty that I got for a song about a decade ago. You make it look so simple, I may just make something with it. Like your videos, like your humility and your personality. Keep them videos coming, big daddy! Cheers!

[@ronhart8857]

Excellent job, you do beautiful work. The grill is a piece of art, very well designed!

[@Sunrayman123]

Nice projects! That fire pit was lookin' good. You must love workin' outside on that spread. The rooster is a gas!

[@jacobweeks2510]

man I wish I had a 3rd of ur Talent doing stuff like that I watch every video u have posted sence I came across ur channel a few months ago I give u A BIG thumbs up buddy keep up the good work and videos

[@stevehaddock5761]

you do some awesome work. especially not having some of the newer tools. like a bender or a plasma cutter. keep it up. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@pacogerte1832]

Allen, just found your channel. Really enjoying your builds, great skills.

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

Thanks!

[@joemunger1047]

When I see your chickens running around, I always notice you have a Polish chicken. Everyone I ever had was a rooster.

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

Yea, we had several different kinds back then.

[@jamesrowe6389]

I really enjoy all of your videos, always looking forward to the next one. I made a rack using round stock for my grill recently, and I too, was back at he metal shop for more round stock, I was using 3/8". Cost me twice what I thought it would for that rack. I love it though.

[@Arnold-og2vs]

as usual nice work and it pays off to stand there and look at your own work great job man

[@alonzosanchez8577]

[@hectorcalderon3011]

Anyone who disliked this has mediocre welding skills and no imagination how can you not appreciate a man that showing you how to make things and has a great personality haters will hate

[@michaelmixon2479]

Really enjoy your channel!

[@CarlosAlvarez-yz1il]

The best ones i see good and clean job 👌👍

[@richardgarcia2315]

Your the man, you have great videos

[@roberttjohnson]

Wow how did you learn to do this, this is such a art form, works of art.

[@user-ve9pv2tr4u]

That's bad ass man. Keep up making videos.

[@METALMUNCHERS77]

When I fab things a this and can't be sure if it's square I'll level the base piece and the use levels on the piece just as a square and I actually prefer that method over a square always carry 3 torpedo magnetic levels works awesome. Hope I explained properly keep up the good work

[@jorgeposadas1192]

That grille u made, I make those 5/8" apart, usually for grilles made out of truck trims and some square grilles but I'll tell you, I always have larger amounts of round stock here.

[@alextorres6333]

Great job I have a question how much you sell your fire pits for? Thank you

[@KENNEY1023]

Nicely done

[@jimbojet8728]

Well done Allen. Thsnk you

[@silverbullet7434]

Like the grill with the round stock looks like it will produce good marking and flavor to the meats . Nothing gonna fall thru either . Do you ever add a grease pot or slot to drain the run off. Sure enjoy watching good videos thanks ..

[@soridaWspdlabs]

Is that a Lincoln Electric Weld pak or pro mig you got there? Love your creative work! Always look forward to watching your videos!

[@throughmylens5127]

Have you tried heating the dome area with a torch and spraying it with cold water to shrink it

[@BrokenRRT]

Nice work! I'm inspired! Can you share where you got that clamp latch at? I need one for a box on my Trooper. Also what steel are the round stock grill rods?

[@larrymartin3218]

how do you season your cooking racks, great work like your channel, great ideas!!!!

[@stronglikebull2994]

Nice work! I'd put a piece of steel to overlap the door to lip it and seal it up.

[@peterandersson9011]

Good work 👍

[@TheRitchieLeeShow]

I like that kind of grill. I had thought about square stock, now 3/8 round. I suppose that expanded metal would be ok. I still trying to figure out what size and thickness that you use. Just mention it sometime I'll try to be listing.

[@iamremy-kl3xm]

That turnt out awesome Allen... How wide is each pieces to make up the chamber? 10"?

[@marvinlee8102]

With your talent,you should be a rich man,I took metal trades in high school for two years and my instructor loved me,in the 1990 I worked at Lemays recycling in Tacoma Washington making tarping station,really love welding,in short your good my brother.

[@laserfalcon]

Love what you do & Do what you love... Never work a day in your life! 👍😎

[@julioarevalo1441]

QUE BUEN TRABAJO HACES Y ESO QUE LLUEVE MUCHO...SOY DE CHILE YO FABRICO CARRITOS PARA COMIDA RÁPIDA

[@sngsteelmd]

to keep it from domeing cutting it with a torch.....cut it in a skipping pattern. cut 4 inches jump 4 cut 4 jump 4.....then flip it and cut out the rest....cutting a consecutive line genereates alot of heat so the rapid cool is what pulls and warps it.....by skipping not only do you keep the temp down you have the original steel holding it in place while it builds stress.it always rolls up because heat rises. its the last to cool and as the metal cools it shinks making the top smaller if that makes sense. the only other way is to try and keep that plate heated to about 200-300(pre-heat soak) untill you cut all of it then wrap it in fire blanket to cool slowly. (really evenly is what your trying to achieve....the slower it cools the easier even is)

[@martinm6520]

Excelente trabajo lo único las parrillas mejor con regulación de altura , para manejar la temperatura de cocción .

[@scottlecompte8970]

Good work. What state are you in

[@speedbuggy0542]

I just ran across your site, nice work! I actually made a barbecue pit and they are pretty close in design. The only thing I did different was in using stainless steel round stock instead of mild steel. I’m only guessing that you used mild steel in place of stainless due to the fact that we did not see you switch out your gas and wire for the welder and went straight from welding mild steel to welding the round bar. In the event I am mistaken and you used stainless for the round bar then I whole heartedly apologize Sir. You may want to cut/peel away the rubber in the clamp that you installed on the hood, it will most likely melt anyway. Have a great day!!!

[@danthebeeman]

Great vids to get ideas from without the usual 80% jabber jawing, that bow in the end plate could be removed by heating the side opposite the bow in the center with your torch and let it draw. Kinda pricey but why not use a plasma cutter to prevent heat transfer. Again great vid

[@robueleubor]

Hey you should have used 1/2” rebar for that grill it has a flat side and looks K00L

[@mohan2481]

Allen do you make these to sell or is it just a hobby I absolutely love your work

[@wtfjpgmailcom]

Hi just wondering what kind of welder are you use in
