@marioboles4340 Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate the comment. Hopefully, I'll have part 3 video ready for the spring of 2025. Thank you for watching.
Thank you. Not sure if you've seen Part 2 when I smoke the pig. Here's the link - ruclips.net/video/Ik4_2BL1TXI/видео.html I do have a part 3 coming out perhape in late spring. Thank for watching.
brillant design mate just wish a few people here would do that sort of thing here in the uk but they are just lazy ,by the way i love your drinker in the hen run
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I'm not sure if you watch part 2. Here's the link. ruclips.net/video/Ik4_2BL1TXI/видео.html I started to film part 3. For part 3 I will share some tips that I learned and minor modification to the smoker. Thank you for watching.
@@HandymanLand Yes, I saw Part 2. The pig came out amazing! I only could imagine how it taste. And thanks for the bellow idea. I order it yesterday using your amazon link in the description. I can't wait to start building! Thank again for the detailed step-by-step video...
Hey man this smoker looks so good! I gotta say, I love the attention to detail stuff you do. Making it square, cutting the bolts to size so they are over hanging, etc… people over look all of those “small” things that culminate into it looking super professional. Edit: I deleted the second half of my comment and I’ll just go watch the video of you using it.
Finally someone puts the cooking area high enough up that you don't have to bend in half to put the meat on it. Can't get why so many of the cinder block smokers on here put the cooking grate on the second level of blocks. I mean my poor back trying to load and unload that build type.
Nice job! I like your design. Its a shame that later you have to move it! But...all you need to do now is the ground work and your ready to cook! Thank you for sharing!
I am glad you enjoyed the video. I will have a new video coming out in the spring of upgrades and modifications on this smoker. If you start building one just make sure that what the meat lies on is stainless steel. I purchase some stainless steel mash on Amazon. And that's one of the new upgrades I will be doing. Supposedly overtime galvanized breaks down and can ruin the meat. Just make sure it's a stainless deal. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for asking that question. I never realized, that scene was cut from the video. Over 20,000 views and you're the first to ask that question. I used my grinder with the Tough Grit Blade. Here's a link to my video on the Tough Grit Blade - ruclips.net/video/Z25VLIKCzg0/видео.html I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching.
I can't honestly remember the exact count. But I believe it was something like 71 or 75 cinder blocks. I have a part 3 video coming out where I will answer some other questions as well. Thank you for watching.
Beautiful job with only one warning……….as mentioned before, galvanized wire, grating , whatever should never be in contact with food. No, it won’t kill you cooking on it once but it is highly toxic and absolutely will pass on toxic coating to food. Big no, no there!
I will be making a couple modifications soon. The first modification I will be doing is replacing the galvanized mesh. And installing stainless steel mesh. I learn from another comment that overtime the galvanized mesh after multiple uses starts to break down. I appreciate your comment. Stay tuned for part 3 of my cinder block smoker. Thanks again for the tips. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLandHats Off to you man! Much respect! I’m one who also commented about danger of galvanized grate. Your ability to take in maybe new info and not get defensive matches your great skills and attention to detail which is so evident in all your videos. True, galvanized has been used by many over the years but tradition by many doesn’t mean right or safe. Stainless is expensive but the safest and best and while cast iron requires more rust preventive maintenance, it is also safe and long lasting if cared for. Admire your work and openess to continue learning. That’s my life’s goal, still learning after 75 years! 👍👍🙏🙏‼️
It just seemed to be the right thing to do. In my backyard I have patches of weeds that grow. Some breeds of weed can be toxic. I didn't want those weeds turning into smoke, smoking the pig. I recommend just to take the extra time and remove it all. This was a great question... Thank you for your comment. I not sure if you watched part 2. But heres the link - ruclips.net/video/Ik4_2BL1TXI/видео.html Late spring or early summer there will be a part 3. Thanks for watching.
Those are the plans for part 3. Spring of 2025 we are doing some modifications and the breakdown of cost. If you haven't seen part 2 here's the link. ruclips.net/video/Ik4_2BL1TXI/видео.html Part 2 you can see the smoker in action. Thanks for watching.
I must be missing something, amigo. 6x8 and 8x8 are still both 16" long. You are tying them together (overlapping joints with full blocks, right? Depending on your lay out, you will most likely need to cut blocks, or hang blocks over the ends or use "half" blocks. The 6x8s are (a bit) cheaper, and lighter but that's it as far as the build goes. If I have this wrong, straighten me out?
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, at first Iwas confused myself. But the 6-inch vs. 8-inch made the difference. By using the 6-inch blocks I was getting an overhang. But had I use the 8-inch, I wouldn't have needed to make cuts. Two 8-inch block would have given me the 16-inch when I made my turns. Believe me I understand. I was left scratching my head at first. I started filming Part 3 of the cinder block smoker modification. I will see if I include this question as well. Also I'll be explaining that the mesh should be stainless steel. And not some type of galvanized. Thank you for your comment and for watching.
Awesome video!
Thanks for watching 👍
"Just winging it?" It's the best start-to-finish I've seen. I've been looking for a sharp roaster. Awesome! 👍💪
@marioboles4340 Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate the comment. Hopefully, I'll have part 3 video ready for the spring of 2025. Thank you for watching.
This has to be the best looking cinder block smoker I’ve ever seen. Hats off to ya.

I'm not sure if you've seen part 2. That video showed how well the cylinder block smoker, smoked the pig. Thanks again for watching.
Wow I'm loving it. The best I've ever seen ❤
Thank you. 😁 And thanks for watching 👍
One of the best ones ive seen
Thank you 😁 👍
Awesome job... I love building stuff like that too ...
Thank you. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video man! I’m building a block bbq island right now and this gave me some great ideas.

@dsuggs3989 Thank you! And thank you for watching!
Way to go if you going to do it do it right it's perfect
Thank you. I'm not sure if you've seen part 2, but I have a part 3 coming out this summer. Thanks for watching 👍
damn, this is pretty cool!
Awesome! Does drilling holes into the blocks potentially weaken their integrity?
Not at all. These holes are only a little over 3/8". Thanks for watching.
Nice smoker pit but how hard would it be to spread your coals around?
@@marshallallen1456 Not hard at all.
I just use a very long shovel. And my fireplace tong. Thanks for.
Watching.
Nice video, Sir. How many total cinder blocks did you use?
I can't honestly remember the exact count. But I believe it was something like 71 or 75 cinder blocks. I have a part 3 video coming out where I will answer some other questions as well. Thank you for watching.
galvanized metal if that is what you are using can give off toxic fumes when the temp gets to high
Beautiful job with only one warning……….as mentioned before, galvanized wire, grating , whatever should never be in contact with food. No, it won’t kill you cooking on it once but it is highly toxic and absolutely will pass on toxic coating to food. Big no, no there!

Thanks, and thank you for watching 👍
Why did you remove grass in the bottom?

I recommend just to take the extra time and remove it all. This was a great question... Thank you for your comment.
