Offset Smoker Build

[@peterlai9018]

Excellent work!!! You are the second BBQ person who goes for stainless steel on youtube I have seen so far.

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks, I like the look of the stainless against the black.

[@toddpower4674]

I'm building one very similar. 80 gallon compressor tank but I used 5 inch chimney and I hope itsbig enough. Fire box is a round furnace 1/4 thick but only 18 inch diameter. I can't wait to try mine.

[@harbaughsworkshop]

You should be fine with the 5 inch stack. I use it all the time. I have 8 butts to smoke this weekend

[@staceyharbaugh1856]

I can confirm that this smoker is the bomb! And the babyback ribs I had for dinner agree!

[@mriosgto]

Nice ! I Like your grill chamber size , firebox and stack ratio looks perfect, I think you built the Ideal back yard smoker, for a lifetime. Great video !

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thank you, I glad you enjoyed the video

[@apexcustomsmokers]

Nice build! Firebox size is great! Too many people build undersized fireboxes,. Plus with the bottom insulated it'll run like a champ! 🔥🔥🔥

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks

[@sonnybeltran7096]

Excellent!! 😎🤘🏻🍻

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks

[@j.stresstl182]

Very nice build.

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks

[@mr.m8539]

Great work! Do you notice any difficulty with fire control by not having a damper outside the fire box?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks....none, there is no difficulty that I notice. For the most part I leave the door open about an inch or so. Holds temperature really well

[@NA-xm7wj]

That’s awesome I wanna see the biscuit or bread test see where your hot spots are

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks, on offset smokers your Hotspot will always be closer to the firebox.

[@Romas65]

Great build, how did you figure out the cut out on your fire box to the cook chamber? That's my only drawback, before I build,,, any help would be greatly appreciated, but non the less, your smoker looks great!

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks, honestly I lifted the firebox in place with my lift cart, marked where the tank would rest up against the firebox. I didn't want the opening too big so I started at four and half inches down by 14 inches wide and I cut the ends at 45 degrees( figuring I could cut more if I had to). It turned out to being perfect

[@kennetlundqvist6279]

Really nice job. I wish I could weld. Good Luck with the smoking👍

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks

[@IzzyEatz]

Sweet build

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks, does an awesome job. Our Thanksgiving turkey came out incredible!

[@sg6068]

I have the same helmet and I love it, I call it the HD helmet cause you can see crystal clear 👍

[@harbaughsworkshop]

It's amazing how much better you can see when welder. I'd suggest this helmet to anyone in the market for a new helmet. Extremely happy with this purchase!

[@davedriggs461]

Great build,how thick is the tank?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks, the tank is 3/16 thick

[@nickdubois8218]

Good build dude!

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks Nick

[@starofgracebbq]

How long did the build take you? Nice garage build! Can’t wait to tackle own smoker soon!

[@harbaughsworkshop]

It took me about 10 days. It ended up being a full weekend. During the week I worked on it after work and the following full weekend . I let it sit for a couple of days after painting and then did the burnout.

[@mdproductions3387]

Did you use a baffle plate coming out of the firebox to the cook chamber? I think I saw a baffle shield/plate that pointed the heat up.

[@harbaughsworkshop]

I did not put a baffle plate in, what you see is part of the firebox. What I do also use is a quarter hotel pan. This acts as my water pan

[@elpoison626]

Cool built 😎👏

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks

[@bbqelevated]

This looks almost identical to one of my previous offsets that was built in someone garage.

[@harbaughsworkshop]

I am happy how it turned out

[@bbqelevated]

@Harbaugh's Workshop I'm sure, I wish this thing let me send pictures, so I could show it to you.

[@firegrillin365]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Nope145]

Nice work. What was the final cost of the build including all the tools you purchased to make it? How heavy was the final product?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Hey Jimmy, Thank you, it was a lot of fun making it. I will be working on another smoker soon. Offset smoker cost breakdown $700 materials $840 mp200 welder using a coupon code like the one in my description Total $1540 Extra purchases $148 new helmet, this was an upgraded my old helmet (excellent helmet if you looking to buy one) $199 hydraulic table cart was optional, but i am glad I bought it Total $347 in optional purchases I am guessing the weight to be around 600lbs

[@thefatwelder1097]

nice build! did you have any issues getting old air compressor gunk out of the tank?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks, it wasn't that back. I used a wire wheel and was covered in it when I was done lol. Overall it cleaned out nicely. I then seasoned it.

[@SD-rq2ob]

Nice build, did you burn out the air tank or give it any other prep before use?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

I did clean out the tank first with a grinder and then I did a burn out for several hours before the first use. I used a spray oil inside

[@SD-rq2ob]

@@harbaughsworkshop thanks for the reply. I have an air tank same size and going to start my own build when I have enough sheet for the fire box 👍

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Awesome, let me know how it's going, I am doing beer cheese jalapeno pig shots on my offset today for the game.

[@SD-rq2ob]

@@harbaughsworkshop excellent, have a great day.

[@philzo56]

How thick is the steel on that compressor tank?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

The end caps are 10 gauge and the main barrel is 3/16 steel

[@aaronrockwell4862]

Nice build how much $ do you have into it?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Not including the tools, just over $700 in materials

[@patq87]

Nice! Lineman??

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Yeah a Lineman lol

[@patq87]

@@harbaughsworkshop spotted the hot glove protectors and boots😂

[@kaykay-rw5xi]

What sort of paint did you use?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Rustoleum ultra high heat grill paint

[@theo1965stang]

@8:15 that orange mustang.

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Yeah there was a car show that day right down the street, surprised I didn't pick up more on video that day

[@GarryGloq]

Что вы кладете в стены печи?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Inside the smoker, and inside the firebox I sprayed down with cooking spray. I built a fire in the fire box nice and hot. I held the temperature at 450°F ( 232°C) for about 5 hours.

[@chadbanks7339]

Sleeves!

[@jeffbrush5089]

Those welds are terrible

[@kurtisgarcia6965]

Great build

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thank you
