Texas Style Smoker Build! | Chuds BBQ

[@DayWarrior6]

I love all the little features that large grill manufacturers don't think about. The notch system for the firebox door (although you might want to cut the sharp point off of that thing), the little pegs to hold a water pan, the grill on top of the firebox, the extended handle for the stack, etc. You can tell just by looking at it that a true long-time enthusiast took pride in designing it.

[@smokingbluegrass]

thought the same thing re " (although you might want to cut the sharp point off of that thing) " then at 7:25 I thought " Laceration time!" as he picks up the box and nearly drives the pike deep into his bicep.

[@p00lbum]

Had to go back and watch the first Chuds video. I’ve enjoyed watching these older videos.

[@RajeshGupta-ns7oc]

You nailed it, dude. No fancy gimmicks. Just neat, clean, practical, and efficient design. This is the best DIY smoker on youtube. Keep rocking.

[@Kjeld93]

That grill part on the right side is so clever!

[@MrPanthers23]

I'd love to hear the difference between pipe vs tank smokers. Never seen it covered on a video before.

[@Frank6289]

He ever do a video with this comparison?

[@rhyanbrandt3807]

On his q and a he kind of goes over the difference between the 2 its not a full on comparison but touches on it briefly

Ok pipe is round sides a flat steel . Tank a little heavyer .pro pain. Thats about it .

Great construction! 6:46 Great leg killer too!! Thanks for sharing to us!

[@georgewilliams6328]

That's a damn good idea with the V shape in the firebox I like that a lot. you could actually put some grading across the bottom and it'll give it air flow when the logs breakdown in fall to the bottom.

[@XxPRIESTxX]

What a guy, Absolutely amazing skills.

[@jaredteague7740]

I’ve been watching KZbin for over 15 years…and this is by far the coolest video I have seen so far. Lol you are the man.

[@gellala]

I love everything about this video! Especially the fact that I can show it to my welder/sheetmetal worker husband and get him to make me one!

[@BitsOfInterest]

Your husband is likely going to say this guy needs to wear some sleeves if he doesn't want skin cancer. Agreed that it's a cool project though. I'd personally fully insulate the firebox so you have to burn less wood and keep the temperatures more stable.

[@southernsmokebbq9549]

@@BitsOfInterest there are pros and cons to San insulated fire box. Insulated fire box won’t produce as much smoker and tends to run hotter. Insulated will definitely help out in cold environments.

[@joeycromer1321]

This was a joy to watch! Great ideas. I've got a 250 gallon old fuel tank and a 75 gallon round tank. You gave me the perfect setup and ideas. THANK YOU FOR THIS VID!!!!

[@Skatelifecrisis_]

I don't know if your better at building smokers or filming and editing videos. 🤯 Amazing job on both!

[@antonioperez4173]

I really love that smoker would you make them for sale also???

[@kingjames3507]

This is by far the most informative and direct DIY bbq smoker video. Very nice build

[@pbfirearms5388]

Great video! A couple things you might want to do is cut the sharp point off the adjustable firebox system. Something I was told when I started welding many years ago no sharp corners round them off. It saves blood, Doctors bills, time off work. Also convert from flux core wire to gas it doesn't take much. The savings on grinding disk will pay for the conversion. Maybe a clean out door on the bottom of the fire box to aid in cleaning out the ashes.

[@salocin911]

Nice! 😀

[@huntingspud3086]

Nice job on this video and your smoker build. This is the best condensed timeline video of how these things can be built that I've seen yet. Kudos to you man!

[@billbryant1288]

My brother-in-law owns a welding company in Tyler, TX. I think he would give you a thumbs up!

[@MrRanma3030]

Thank you very much for inspiring me to have a go and make my own bbq. New to welding and keep coming back to this video. Thank you again man. Much love from Australia.

[@robryan1007]

It's like you took everything that we wished smokers HAD and brought it to life!!!! Thanks!!!!

[@trentarmstrong5903]

I would like to see a video on what the pros and cons are on the pipe style smoker and the tank style smoker. Looking at building my own larger patio style smoker for the home and have been considering a 250 gallon tank style but would love to see a true comparison. Thanks! And keep up with the great videos. One of my favorite bbq channels all together and definitely my favorite “newer channel” by far!

[@anthonyspalding861]

Smokin', wish we could get pits like this in Australia...awsome.

[@davidphillip9175]

i would love to see another smoker build, great job!!

Pretty badass, comes with all the bells and whistles too. Even a firebox face impaler. 😎

[@veag687]

I don't remotely have these skills, but it was satisfying to watch to see where the @ChuddsBBQ channel came from 🍻

[@howardkoski7420]

Damn brother that’s one good looking smoker you got some talent oh if I had money I’d pay you to build me one bro

[@elcajondavid1]

That is an awesome grill build and design, and made to last probably a life time.

[@4seasonsbbq]

Fantastic build my friend. You've got some skills. I love building smokers and grills. I built a 48x24 octagon offset smoker a few years ago and I love cooking on it. I never did paint it so now it has a light coating of rust on it and I've been thinking about wire brushing it and seasoning it like you did. I really like your video and your personality so I think I'll subscribe to your channel. Have a great New Year.

[@paulh7589]

That's about the coolest video I have ever seen. I'm not joking. If you knew my Brothers and I, you would know I'm being sincere. There is nothing better than a bad-a$$ smoker/grill, and watching you build one was a thrill. I'm a new subscriber now.

[@FerdinandDivinagracia]

Amazing content. After watching the entire video I feel like I can build my own smoker too! You make it look easy. Time to get meself a welding machine.

[@cj000r2]

@@kirkchatwin6160 He's not wrong. If you want steel shipped to you, you're going to pay an arm and a leg. You are pretty much bound to whatever your local steel yard offers in pricing. Figure out what lengths/pieces you need and call your local steel yards to get a quote.

[@tbrosow]

Chud, this is awesome. Built one myself but now I have to do it again, but better. Stealing a few ideas tough.

[@MikeKelly87]

This was an amazing video. Question on the charcoal grill though. Since ash traps moisture and therefore you need to remove the ash the day after a cook on the charcoal grill...are you more/less forced to use a shop vac to clean the ash?

[@steveg1559]

Recently purchased a BGE and discovered this channel while looking for recipes. Absolutely love it, and just ordered a T-shirt to prove it. Keep the content coming!

[@calveryc1]

I’ve got a great idea. On top of the fire box you weld a piece of round tubing, then make the top portion of the tortilla press but with a rod that comes out of the back and turns and fits into the tubing to act as a hinge. Then you could use that flat top as a tortilla press when you want or take it out when you want to use it for charcoal. It’d be a cool accessory.

[@salocin911]

I like that idea!

[@edklenotich5232]

Wow you be gotten talent!! I built your brisket recipe (foil boat) today and it was awesome. Now I come to find that you have fabricator skills. I love dis stick burner!!

Impressive. So much so you've talked me out of tryin to build one myself. Definitely justifies the costs of great pits. Excellent job!

[@M_Ladd]

Love your Smoker build! Wondering how you determine how large/high/low you put the firebox and the cutout onto the pit itself? Is it a standard measurement or different by the size of the cooker? Do you ever add a damper to kill the fire when you are finished cooking,?

[@jimm2442]

Awesome! I am now fully inspired and just found an air compressor tank so here we go. Thanks much, many great ideas found right here!
