Awesome job. If I could make a tip or two… Slow down on your welding. And a small thing, line your seams up on the tubes. Make them all line up on the inside. It’s not much but I’ve been running a fab shop for 10 years and the small things make a difference.
Please any tips you can give I'll take! This is my first time ever doing something like this so I'm open to all tips and suggestions! Thanks for watching.
Sorry if you addressed this and i missed it but I would recommend building your legs on wheels first, and then welding your pipe on the legs/base. Then you can push it around while you are working on it. Cheers Also. It’s also going to be at a workable height for when you add your firebox or whatnot. Get a rolling chair
@@GorillaJoesBBQI don’t know how your finances are at the moment but harbor freight sells cherry pickers fairly cheap or see if you can borrow a tractor with front end loader cheers man 🍻
Or you can also use a floor jack with jack stands and blocks cut to fit to get it up of the ground don’t think it’ll get it as high as you need it but it’s a thought
@@Buzzdbbq56 thanks for the suggestions! I definitely was looking at the cherry pickers, but I found a solution talking with some pit builders on Instagram. It will be in my next video but I actually rolled the pipe over and build the stand upside down and attached it then rolled it over onto its feet haha.
Thank you! I'll have part 2 out soon! Got the door cut out and welded together, and got the base attached and stood it up! Real excited with how it's going!
Hopefully me stumbling through this build will help you with yours! I'll hopefully have part 2 out next week and part 3 the week after that! Thanks for watching! Hope you find some pipe!
Thanks for watching! I found a guy in Facebook who runs a demo company and he said they cut these out of a building they were demoing. He has a whole big property full of scrap, could spend all day finding good pieces ha.
Yeah my garage is a real mess now 😂, I did have a big fan blowing me for the majority of the grinding/cutting but I just didn't want to try moving that pipe more than I had to. Thanks for watching!
@GorillaJoesBBQ it will be an epic pit! Cheers from Holland, where pipes that thick are nowhere to be found. Also, propane tanks aren't a thing over here... Offset smoker builds are really hard
@@EddieGarcia-hm6pl well 1s a flattop and that will rust if rained on, the other was a super cheap offset off Amazon that will also rust to hell if left in the rain. The other 2 don't really matter since they won't rust.

So sweet!
Thank you!!!
I like how this is starting out. Good call on getting the warranty on the new tool. It will be a solid build. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
Thank you! It's been a lot of fun learning as I go and seeing it come together!
Dude metal fabrication is always enjoyable when building smokers and grills at least in my opinion keep up the great work cheers joe 🍻🍻
Thank you! I have been really enjoying the process! I just wish I had a chain hoist or something to help maneuver this GIANT pipe! ha

And the journey begins Joe! Great start 🍻
Thank you! Part 2 coming next week!
Off to a great start…looking forward to the rest of the project
Thank you! Part 2 is out now! Hopefully next week I'll have part 3 up! It's been a fun build!
Take a flappy disk to your soap stone and sharpen her up 👍🏻
Awesome project keen to see it through to the end awesome work dude from Australia 🦘
Thank you! I'll have part 2 out soon! Got the door cut out and welded together, and got the base attached and stood it up! Real excited with how it's going!
Getting a good start to it! Love the size of that pipe!
Thank you! I can't wait to fill it up with some meat when it's done!
It's coming along great!!!!! 🤩 👏 🔥
Thanks babe!!!
Man Ive been looking for pipe for the past few weeks just like you this will be my first build and I will be doing it alone as well thanks for sharing
Hopefully me stumbling through this build will help you with yours! I'll hopefully have part 2 out next week and part 3 the week after that! Thanks for watching! Hope you find some pipe!
Nice build series you have going so far. I'm curious where did you find the 1/2 inch thick pipe?

Good stuff. Gonna be the best BBQ you’ve ever had
Thank you! Man I'm excited for it! There's nothing like a real offset when it comes to bbq!
@@GorillaJoesBBQ hopefully it’s the “solution” to all your bbq needs. 😅😎
I would of did all the prep outside first, then welded inside. Looking good though.

I guess I'm weird my pit don't hv to be pertty I justvwantbit to cook and smoke 😅😅 but looks like it gonna be a great pit😅😅😅
@@EddieGarcia-hm6pl well this pit definitely isn't pretty lol, bad welds and all. But it's definitely gonna cook.
That's a hefty pipe! Is it like a half-inch thick?
Yes sir! 1/2" and boy is it heavy 😂 next time when I try to find pipe I'll definitely look for thinner stuff! But it should hold heat great!
@GorillaJoesBBQ it will be an epic pit!
Cheers from Holland, where pipes that thick are nowhere to be found.
Also, propane tanks aren't a thing over here...
Offset smoker builds are really hard
Lmao y do u put in your grills if it rains? I've never heard of such a thing u not from Texas 😅😅😅
