Workhorse Pits 1975t Review | Mad Scientist BBQ

[@jaykanor9613]

FYI, the handles on that damper are also legs for the stack when you fold it down so it's level.

[@FernandoGonzalez-ke3bi]

Workhorse is a sister brand of Primitive Pits. Everything JD and their team are doing in GA is helping to spread the love for handcrafted barbecue. Their offset smokers are the beating heart of our operation at 2fifty BBQ. One of my Pitmasters bought one 1975 and everything Jeremy says here is accurate. Another amazing, informative video. Thank you!

I have a 1975 with the 8 inch hard rubber casters. It was delivered September 2021. I love this smoker. I smoke when ever I can rain or shine.

Is it easy to move around? I'm looking to move it in and out of the garage (roughly 20 feet)?

It shouldn't be a problem unless you're having to push it uphill

[@gnbtp9609]

@@joeybonanotte3850 I have a flagstone patio. It's not hard it needs some strength. If yiu are moving the smoker from a garage to a drive way it should not be hard it rolls smoothly. Don't get the metal caster what ever you do. If you plan on on moving the smoker on grass the the 8 inch hard rubber casters will sink into the turf ( It's a theft prevention lol ) the smoker is 900 pounds so if your driveway is steep you will need to guys to keep it from rolling down the drive way.

Nice video. I’ve had my 1975 for about a year and I really like it. Draws like crazy and love the oversized firebox

[@mikes.3165]

How close are you able to put food to the firebox without it getting burned. I've been looking at the 1975 for a while and wondering how many inches I would be losing and cook surface. And do you use a water pan

[@Isovapor]

Got my 1975 three months ago after waiting 5 months to get it. No trailer model needed. I’ve done 4 cooks on it so far. Still learning fire management. Can’t achieve the five degree difference across the grates as workhorse pits claims. I’m sure it’s me. It’s a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I keep it in my garage uncovered. It should last 3-4 generations. Cheers!!

[@mikerein5854]

Try these tips and you'll get even temps throughout the whole cook: 14 inch splits so they can lay front-to-back, so the entire fire/flames are near the firebox door. 14 inch ensures the entire split lays on the coal bed for an even burn, and less manipulation of the fire. Use the firebox door cracked about an inch, not the bowtie (bowtie was required by insurance for backyard model and causes the flames to be sucked more into the chamber), this helps with less radiant heat on the food too. Limit wind - back pressure from wind coming towards the stack make temps by the firebox 20 degrees hotter. I clip a 2ftx2ft piece of wood to the top of the stack if windy and the wind doesn't come into the stack.

Adding the Drain Valve of your choice is Simple - you have the Threaded Collar that the Plug screws into just substitute for a Valve!

[@strouth64]

Workhorse Pits's shop is about 15 minutes from my house so I drove up this morning to day to get a first hand look at their smokers in the various sizes and configurations available. I was really curious as to how difficult it might be to lift the cabinet door given that I'll be turning 60 in a few days and I'm only 5' 6" and 160 lbs. As it turns out, I was able to open the chamber door on the 1975t without difficulty. If anything my short stature was probably the bigger challenge as it was almost a full stretch to get the lid all the way back to it's open resting position. Maybe in 10 years, when I'm 70 years old and a 1/2" shorter, opening and closing the door will become a problem, but not today. I was also able to push the 1975t around on its trailer, which gave be confidence that it wouldn't be any trouble manually pushing and maneuvering it into position in my garage.

However, the guy that brought it to me told me they're not accepting orders right now due to the high amount of backorders. I will still try and see if you can order online. I would buy one sooner the better. It's only gonna get more expensive. They just higher the price by about $200 in 9 months.

Where can I purchase 1. I've been following your channel for several years, always fantastic advice and knowledge.

[@smitty7592]

Mine will be ready in November(ordered May 4). I spent a good amount of time researching different brands...Millscale, LSG, Workhorse, and several others. The Workhorse is by far the best value out there, and without sacrificing anything. After all of the add-ons, which puts some of these premium pits well over $5k, and then taking into consideration all of the features of each, Workhorse beats any of them by a mile. The only drawback to the Workhorse is it probably has the longest lead time of any of them, so if you're in the market, get on it now. I was looking forward to seeing your review of this pit, Jeremy. Even more happy I went with Workhorse.

Hey James, did you consider a Shirley fabrication reverse flow smoker. Patio or trailer model

Excellent review. Thoughtful and detailed for those in the market for a backyard pit that will last a lifetime with minimal effort. Thanks Jeremy!

[@toxicitysocks]

I have the 1969 on casters and I wish the grease drain was closer to the firebox. The firebox is super heavy so it leans ever so slightly towards the firebox which means not all the grease makes it to the drain. I'll probably get a scissor jack to level it out during cooks.

[@andrewpope204]

I've been looking at getting this exact model. I currently use a pellet smoker and kamado smoker. Been getting into catering and pop ups and wanted an offset on a trailer. This seems like the perfect size. Your review makes me want it even more!

Would love to see more content on this smoker! Out of all the ones on the market, this is a great deal. JD and team are doing great things in North GA! Thanks for the vid!

[@OffsetRookie]

Well done. Owned mine for 6 months and love it. I didn’t bother with a trailer and you can save a lot of you aren’t going to tow it around. One thing I noticed, the damper should stay on the stack so when you put it down, the damper supports the stack and it’s parallel to the pit. I love being able to collapse and cover mine. It was part of my buying decision. Good stuff!

[@mtmarcy4495]

I thought long and hard about it because it is a big chunk of money (I had to pay freight all the way to Colorado too) but it was but worth every penny.

As far as adding the ball valve. You can go to any hardware store get a nipple and a ball valve. That is a standard coupling just welded on the bottom of the cooker. Looks to be 3/4”.

The welds on the workhorse are perfect. It truly is an amazing smoker.

[@epickleuva]

Are they?

[@draskuul]

My order is for the standard version with 4 casters. A trailer, or even the wagon version, would be impossible to get into my back yard without a crane (or convincing two neighbors to let me tear down part of their fences and drive it through their yards). I've already been thinking about the door weight. I ordered the upper rack on mine, which means it has two more threaded holes for upper thermometers. Since I always use a wireless thermometer, I don't really need them. I figure I could get some steel to make a counterweight and use those threaded holes to attach it.

[@NANLEIN33]

I ordered mine the same way last week for similar reasons. No way a trailer or wagon was going behind the house.

[@stevescasta5006]

Ditto. Trailer wouldn’t fit into backyard without tearing out a wrought iron fence, gate is too small.

[@gnbtp9609]

If you have to move it over grass get 3 sheet of plywood or OSB. Even with the 8 inch casters it will dig or sink into the turf. I also had to use a tow strap and ratchet strap to get it over the flag atone step stones I have in my back patio.

I've had my 1975 for over a year. You ain't lying about that lid. It's heavy for sure.

For the money the Workhorse was a better deal than Franklin and didn't have the crazy wait times like some of the other builders.

[@blipblopride9024]

The best reason to splurge on a smoker - to make food for the people you love. And to facilitate fellowship.

[@apexcustomsmokers]

“computational fluid dynamics", Workhorse/Primitive Pits, has spent more money on research and development then any other pit manufacturer, (according to the owner) on how air flows through an offset. Its called computational fluid dynamics, and all that R & D shows in every single one of their pits' performance in keeping a +/- of 5 degrees (again, according to the owner) So it's no surprise they all run as well as they do. The owner has a channel called Quetorials and the vid in where he talks about all this is something like watch this video before purchasing an offset or along those lines. No disrespect meant to Jeremy, however since this is a video on workhorse Pits, I figured it was cool to mention their channel as anyone interested in their pits could watch them. Cheers Jeremy!

[@smitty7592]

The folding stack is really a great feature, so don't listen to Jeremy on this :-) The cover you can and should purchase for this fits with the stack folded down. In addition to it making it more compact for storage, I'm also guessing it saved some material costs on the cover. Nevertheless, Primitive, Workhorse's sister company and predecessor, does folding stacks, so I'm guessing they adopted it from them. It is a feature common an large trailer pits. I think it's a great feature, even on a "backyard" pit.

[@strouth64]

Agree. My garage door opening (which is pretty standard) is 82" high, so at 84", this smoker would not fit with the stack not folded down.

Awesome Smoker! I’ve spent a lot of time researching high-quality craft smokers, and I believe this one is the absolute best as far as backyard smokers go. I really enjoy your videos! I’m making a smoker and I’m curious about a couple of measurements on this one: 1. How wide is the cookdoor opening? It looks like 40 inches? 2. How wide is the trim piece that goes around the edge of the cook door? is it 1 1/2 inch wide? 3. What is the frame of the cooking grates made of? It looks like half inch solid square bar. 4. How wide is the Cowboy door opening? 5. How tall is the Cowboy door opening if you measure along the curve of the firebox instead of a straight line? 6. How far apart is the upper cooking grate from the lower cooking great? 7. What’s the distance from the top of the cook chamber to the top of the firebox? 8. How tall is the hole that lets smoke in from the firebox? It looks like it’s half moon shaped with a straight line across the top of the hole maybe 8 or 10 inches tall in the center?

Only one you issues why in the world 🌎 you can cut the one inch lower make bottom shelf slide to ? And from fire box to cook chamber putting half inch lip so the grease won’t drip and firebox ?

Super curious now that you’ve cooked on all these high end pits, how do feel the Brazos stacks up now? Has your opinion on that changed? Still waiting for you video on how you like the mods you did to the Brazos too.

We are looking at purchasing an offset smoker. The Franklin is more expensive than we have in our budget. We are looking at $2-4 thousand. One option we have looked at is the Lang offset smokers. How does the Workhorse brand compare to Lang?

[@philmaro84]

Has it arrived yet?

[@anthonybanks1657]

Which do you prefer direct flow or reverse flow and why far these types of smokers thanks

[@erictriplett33]

Have you had a chance to review or try out a Mill Scale smoker? That's the brand the #1 restaurant in TX (Goldee's BBQ in Kennedale near Ft Worth) uses... ah, wait, at 11:34 you mention talking to someone that had a Mill Scale 94 ...

Good quality work. I built my own offset and it turned out awesome but I wish I had built it on a trailer. It’s on casters and rolls fine but if on not on concrete it doesn’t roll on grass or rock very well and it super heavy

[@NickSlauson]

I was on the very edge of ordering one of these last fall when researching and the only reason I didn’t was I had an opportunity to get a Franklin order (someone gave theirs up) that would arrive in 3 weeks. The benefit of trailer can’t be emphasized enough if you ever think you may want to take it somewhere vs trying to load one with casters. Like you said, you can’t go wrong between the three and I don’t think I’d do anything different, but would love to get one of these on a trailer someday :)

My 1975 arrives next week. Only question I have is the appropriate length/size of splits. Most of my splits are 20 inches and I don’t see anyone online using splits that long.

[@RodStiffinton]

14 inches. I have a black and decker lopper saw to chop it to length. Easy peasy

[@TheDarienJim]

Great video as always. I’m going for my first offset having graduated from BGE to Timberline 1300 pellet and now offset. Based now on owning the 1975 (not going to get T), between Mill Scale 94 vs. 1975 vs. Franklin if you had to just pick one (a money aside) what is your final pick. Note for me size is not as important I am never likely to smoke 3/4 briskets at once (but maybe 2 turkeys or 6 racks).

[@jeremyrobinson9883]

Great videos, how many smokers do you have outta curiosity?

[@jonathanharvey3097]

What size threads are on that plug? Can’t you just get a male thread ball valve?

[@NickMinKC]

Which do you think would be better, a workhorse 1975 or a TMG volunteer?

[@robertmitchell6061]

I have to ask how did you like cooking on the meadow creek reverse flow?

[@cyberbeer65]

How about reviewing a Lone Star Grillz 20x42 offset.
