Hay man. I've been checking your whole video out and i love it.With that said i am about to make my first smoker, and maybe my only 1. A few 25 years ago i weld for this 1 company, so this is why i am doing this. I am 68 now and i want to try this while i still got life in me. My ideal going to be some what from your but a little difference. I have a 75 or 80 gallons tank and it will be a back yard and hy-way ready. It will be a reverse smoker. You've done a good job with that smoker!

[@michaelb7071]

Good luck with your project! :)

[@jimmyturbeville8753]

that cap you put on the smoke stack is cool great job on the smoker thanks for sharing the build

[@warrenfait7594]

Great build brother, hope you're still at it...

[@matrix626]

Loving the Billy Joel, Edmund Fitzgerald and many more in the background. Man with g̶o̶o̶d̶ incredible taste in music! Love this build.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Frank! Nothing like the oldies! No music these days has any soul and it does not matter what genre. Glad you are enjoying this build. It is almost done now.

[@donaldtrabeaux1305]

The Georgia beast. Awesome job, had little trouble viewing the video. Now can’t wait for painting

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Donald! Can you tell me the problem and where in the video it happened. I just watched it and found no problems on my PC and would like to see what is going on. You are the first of two people who have had problems viewing. Glad you are enjoying this project. Painting is next.

[@donaldtrabeaux1305]

Stephen Ogle it’s was three times that it stopped one when you was working on the smoke stack the others it was close to that time frame. Look I been following you for a long time and I’m sure glad you made it back because I did learn some wood turning from you. I love your videos because you my friend are absolutely awesome

[@jameskoehn4331]

You're about ready to season it. Looking good

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks James. Yep! Almost there.

[@davidalden5697]

If you have access to a sand blaster using walnut shells maybe for paint removal ?? Using sand is a mess but might be faster ! cant wait to see it SMOKE !!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you David. I actually have a sandblaster and am going to try to use it. I find that PlaySand works very well as long as it is dry and not trying to clog the line. Great suggestion and thanks again.

[@carlfreeman795]

Love the smoker just one suggestion.... round all the edges on your angle iron mounts, just makes it look smoother imo great build

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Carl. Great suggestion. Glad you enjoyed this project.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Cool stuff! Can't wait to see it all painted ....😎👍

[@daveb.misc.2589]

good job stephen. that rig really looks nice!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Dave. Getting close, brother.

[@Lee-qp6gf]

I think it will work well. The draft should pull quite well and keep new hot smoke coming through. Maybe a new learning curve. Lee

[@davidmcmichael8113]

Hello Steve, looks like your going to do a lot more welding videos. A fellow You Tuber by the name JIMBO’S GARAGE I learned a lot from him and the way he set his garage up and welding bench. Your Smoker BBQ is looking fantastic. You should invite us over for some good BBG. We can bring the cold ones.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you David. I like the cold ones, brother. I will check out Jimbo's Garage.

[@DavidWhite]

Steve Ya oughta put a cap over your chimney to keep the rain out. I spoke too soon The cooker is lookin real good

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks Dave. I almost had you there. LOL.

[@davidamos4847]

Great videos. Very informative. I think I heard frog back ground music😃

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you David. Glad you are enjoying this project. The Bullfrogs started about 3 weeks ago.

[@glennmoreland6457]

Wire brush on an angle grinder to get that paint off Steve...🇬🇧👍

[@ShadeTreeMachinist]

Like what I was seeing until video stop play and will to start again. Not sure whats wrong. Anyway, great videos!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir. I don't know what is happening with the video. A couple of people are reporting problems. Seems to be working good on a PC. Can you tell me what you are watching it on so I can investigate with KZbin? Thank you again.

[@oldandfound1]

Looking good.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you very much.

[@williamcolvin3609]

What State do you live in - looks nice and Peaceful around there.

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Enjoying this build, Stephen. I was on the phone partly on this one but did you say what the advantage of the cross flow? Lee

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Lee. The reverse flow should provide more even heating. Instead of intense heat on the firebox end going to a lower heat on the exhaust end. The heat must travel under the cooking surface to the other end and then come back to the firebox side to exhaust. We will see if it works.

[@hankos_workshop]

Great job Stephen, what fuel will you be using? Have you thought about a storage rack on the bottom for some of the fuel (wood, charcoal or pellets)?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Henry. I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you sir. I will be burning wood splits. I think the under smoker storage is a great idea. The only problem is the room under there. I only have about 9 inches of clearance. When I buy or build a trailer It will have storage for wood. Thank you sir for watching and for your suggestion.

[@tropifiori]

Gorgeous

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you very much.

[@djogtakeover]

What settings did you use when welding that chimine?

[@stevenjobbins2600]

I like it I like it a lot

[@jamesstanlake4064]

Are you mounting a temperature gauge on it or just going with probes that read to a smart phone?

[@StephenOgle]

I will be using both. I have two temp gauges to install and also an electronic probe. I will install them before painting. Glad you are enjoying this project.

[@oldsloane]

Just an observation, I think I would have put the drain closer to one end and then elevated the smoker a bit on the other end to drain out the gunk. Being in the center you may have grease pooling at one end or the other if it isn't perfectly level. Nice build by the way looks like you will have good results from it.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir. I agree with your observation and any smokers I build in the future will be drained on one side or the other just as you suggest. Glad you are enjoying this build. I am almost done and ready to cook.

[@davidpearson1641]

Me looks good

[@ajwolgemuth5981]

Some of your welds look a little on the cold side

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir. I think there are plenty of cold welds. I am very new to welding and am not a pro. The smoker is still together and working very well, despite my shortcomings as a welder though. Take care.

Лайк 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@williamlewis3965]

get Harbor Freight sand blaster

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you William. I do have the 20 pound HF sandblaster but have never had very good luck with it. I have found a couple of things however that may fix my problems. Great suggestion, thank you.

[@harrytucker8746]

Something went wrong with the video

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Harry for letting me know. You are the third person to mention a problem. Will you tell me what happened so I can investigate. It is playing fine on my computer and could be a problem when KZbin processed the video for viewing on multiple platforms. Thank you again.
