I made another steak last night and did not compare to this one. That Tomahawk was fantastic. The storm rolled in last night and all my tools are wet and some under water lol....Let the rust begin. I am thinking of building more of these with a little modifications and doing some Raffles and maybe some donations when people need to raise money. I put about $90 in parts plus my time. Glad you liked it.
@@cutweldngrind yea, sorry about your tools. Hope see more awesome ideas. I'm about to start my smoker. I've been using my camping grill I built. I need more room to grill everything at once.
I agree. The grill came out good but the steak was even better. I have to clean my back yard so the scrap is turning into things now. I have a small section of 20" x 10" pipe and might make a fire pit / grill next.
Nice bro I've been wanting to make my own not the best welder but ill try. I use to live in laredo but in San Antonio now. Love Carne asadas can't get enough
I'm building a 48" by 20" smoker now. I'm using my flux core welder cause I'm under the tree too. Next project is one of those pits. Thanks for posting cause now I know how to do one like that.. Keep the vids coming
Thanks. I have a 50" x 24" pipe I need to turn into a smoker. I may put it on a boat trailer and raffle it locally. I also started to build some small pits but at 3/8" steel they are heavy. Its all about practicing and researching.
@@cutweldngrind well finished my smoker Saturday. Fired it up for a few hours to season it. Then went ahead and cooked a brisket. Stayed at 250-280 heat range with out hassle. Thing is a beast.
Thanks and cool name. I was going to pick up some steaks today but got me a brisket instead. This small grill works awesome and could fit a few good size steaks.
I like the design and the way to mount it on the hitch connector. Very cool. I clamped a spike onto the handle of my plasmer cutter for cutting circles, with an extended base it could cut big circles. Just need to drill a small hole at the center. (Todays handy hint) cheers.
Thanks. I need to make an adjustable attachment to help me create circles easier. I used to have one that was for 24" circles but I used it as a handle on another project.
I'm hungry for a steak now! Having one like that is real handy on job sites. Years ago, when I worked the pipeline I had one a little smaller than that I mounted to my bumper and it was easily removable like that. They usually furnished a helper and by the end of the job he'd be real good on the grill. We didn't grill every day but a lot of the time on Saturdays, when the company men weren't around we'd grill up some steaks or burgers for lunch.That was about thirty years ago now, come to think of it. But that's a good size for a portable grill. Nice job!
Thanks. What size pipe was used on your grill? I had some 6" pipe and a pipe line welder told me to try and build a clover design using 4 sections of pipe. I am running out of scrap now so might do 1 or 2 more grills just for fun. Thanks again for the support.
@@cutweldngrind I had two different ones at different times. The first one was way too big to pack and move easily. It was 14" X 24" and the older hands told me the whole time it was too big and guess what? They were right. The next one was 8" X 18" and I thought it was perfect. One of the guys had a template to cope the ends and the end caps were coped as well so the ends of the pit were round and it looked great! It was a lot more work than the first one that was just slapped together and I was very happy with it. I could fit four rib eyes or a half dozen big burgers on it. It's amazing that I still see the same design on pipeliner rigs today! Receiver hitches weren't a thing on welded steel beds back then we usually had a hitch that was easily as strong built into our steel pipe bumpers. And most people I knew already had something on their bumper to mount some other type of equipment and we usually just used that.
@@texasplumr Awesome. My flat bed I built has 2 receiver tubes vertical on it and was thinking on making a bracket for it but not sure if the heat will damage the bed liner. My neighbor was building a grill to mount on the hitch but was a scaled down version of a SA200. He is working up north but I may upload a video on it.
I can't wait for my misting system to get in so I can weld more comfortable outside, its been hot. Today I busted my only bandsaw blade so did not get anything else done. Keep me updated on what else you all would like to see.
Thanks. It works great. I was looking for material locally to build another one. I prefer the hot coals over pellet grills or skillets. Thanks again for watching.
@@cutweldngrind I plan on building some smokers soon as well. Def gonna give this one a try if I can find the right materials. What kind of plasma cutter do you have. How do you like it.
@@PAPAPIG15 The plasma cutter I use is a Hypertherm Powermax 45 which I got used for 600 or 700, new they are over $2000. I have been wanting to try a China made $400 plasma cutter because mine has worked hard about 9 years and on its last few cuts.
@@PAPAPIG15 Haven't tried it but the Titanium welders work great. I bought the Powermax45 because I wanted to build a plasma table and mine was highly recommended due to the extra port it had. Check what thickness material it cuts clean and see if that fits your projects. I do mostly 3/16 and 1/4 materials.
I usually just remove the thick rust on the inside with a wire wheel or flap disc. I do put some oil after wiping down with a moist rag to remove the dust left over. I never paint the inside of the grills as that can cause contamination of the food. Thanks for watching.
@@migueldelreal1950 I'm further South located in Zapata. I really dont build for others unless it's a friend who wants to drink a few and have fun welding. What were you looking for?
The Primeweld Cut50DP was under $400 and the Powermax 45 was $700 used and new are over $2400. I am not sure which plasma cutter was used here but I have some videos on the Cut50DP incase you want to check it out.
I need to start using the grill again and those steaks always come out good. I live in a small town and usually the steaks are under a 1/2" thick at my local store which I really don't like. I think a 2" thick steak is perfect for me so when I see them I usually buy 2 or 3. Thanks for the comment.
$13 bucks for a 1.75lb tomahawk ribeye? That’s pretty cheap from what I’ve seen beef prices in other parts of TX. Cooked to a nice med-rare which is perfect. ...oh, the grill was pretty cool too.
Thanks. I picked up 2 lbs of Wagyu yesterday and that was $32. I haven't grilled it and I know its not the same as Japanese wagyu. The Tomahawk in the video is something I usually buy and prices have been pretty consistent.
What a nice little project!!
"you know what guys, the grill works"........simple yet very effective
Where is the brew, baked potato and salad? It was and honor to watch you work.
Thanks, I really liked using this grill and might build me a custom one once I fix my plasma table.
Awesome little grill. Steak looks good too. Nice job.

Glad you enjoyed it
The pit turned out awesome, and it looks nice on the truck... That tomahawk was cooked to perfection... Stay safe😷

Metal prices have gone up a bit so gets more expensive. I'm not a great welder either just try my best and use my grinder alot.
Nice looking grill and steak look delicious

This looks great buddy!! And that tomahawk looked awesome!! 👍👍👍
Thanks. I decided to call it a day and stay inside, 105F and no wind blowing. I got to find some misting hoses to keep me going.
I can't wait for my misting system to get in so I can weld more comfortable outside, its been hot. Today I busted my only bandsaw blade so did not get anything else done. Keep me updated on what else you all would like to see.
Wonderful build. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel and happy to be a new subscriber....I've been to South Texas a few times and love it!👍
Thanks for the sub! I have been slow on projects due to everything being so expensive lately but hope to start on my projects again.
@@cutweldngrind Looking forward to it.👍

👑✊🏿💪🏿🍾 nice build bro.
Thanks 💯
Hey boss, how’d you clean the inside before using it? Also before painting did you take off any oxidation?
I usually just remove the thick rust on the inside with a wire wheel or flap disc. I do put some oil after wiping down with a moist rag to remove the dust left over. I never paint the inside of the grills as that can cause contamination of the food.
Thanks for watching.
Great job hand
Thanks. Feel free to check my other videos as I am always doing random stuff.
Jorge Serna you make pits for sale or just for you, around what part of south Texas you from? I’m around corpus
@@migueldelreal1950 I'm further South located in Zapata. I really dont build for others unless it's a friend who wants to drink a few and have fun welding. What were you looking for?
How many amps were u runing it at
I cant remember on this project but I run 1/8" electrodes mostly: 6011 90-100 amps : 7018 120-135 amps.
How much did the plasma cutter cost
The Primeweld Cut50DP was under $400 and the Powermax 45 was $700 used and new are over $2400. I am not sure which plasma cutter was used here but I have some videos on the Cut50DP incase you want to check it out.
