The best smoker I’ve seen from majority of RUclips videos out there! That thing looks dope and 3/16” cold rolled steel looks fucking perfect
Good to see someone build a smoker from steel other than a propane tank
Agreed.
It is nice building with all new components and not having to knock a bunch of rust off!
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 hats off to the propane tank fabricators, but I think knowing everything was fabricated from scratch is easier when paying top dollar for quality product.
@@cmsense8193 Totally get it. There's a very good reason for using propane tanks to be sure. Moberg, Primitive Pits, Centex, and many more turn out some seriously nice units. From scratch quality I would say TMG pits and Shirley Fabrication have some of the nicer units out there. Allen Tubbs does some great work as well.
The nicest smoker build on RUclips imo
Thanks dude
I enjoy the content. I am someone who welds in the driveway. Seeing your set up and your content gives me a goal to shoot for. Thank you for making your content.
Glad you got some joy out of this video
Nice! Building something that heavy by yourself is a challenge. Nice ingenuity! Great work.
Thanks a lot! The bridge crane was totally worth building. Build video on that coming soon!
That is the BEST build I've seen.
Nice that there is a new and interesting video from you again. 👍
I love how you have a fireball tool square
Excellent build! Great looking smoker!!
Thanks Sean!
Great video the best smoker build video I’ve seen and I’ve seen them all.
Thanks man!!
Gorgeous smoker and awesome build
I appreciate that!
Your back!!! Sweet build
Put a edge on back bottom shelf so logs don’t fall out
Solid tip. Thank you
awesome video what a beast of a smoker
Sir You did a great Job. Welds look good and showing your work is Awesome. Practice and Become better at the craft with all things ...
Thank you!
Yeah, where have you been? Good stuff!
I've been building and recording just haven't compiled the videos yet :) Coming soon!
Great video and great smoker! Going to build my own soon and this was helpful.
You’re a really good fabricator !
Thanks William!
Used those magnets for years. I remember the bosses telling me to use it on a 316 stainless 800lb round disc.
I told them. "You try it!"
Found out quickly that it will not work on 316. Some stainless grades will but always TEST the lift. Used an electric magnet also. Could not believe that the plant manager didn't realize that unplugging it! The magnet will release!
Hahahaha! That’s hilarious. Thanks for sharing
NICK! Holy shit man! Great to see you back bro! 👍
Thanks man! It's been a while for sure. I have a few videos to release still and only need to edit them. Hopefully it won't take another year :)
Hahahahha broskie over here not wearing protective footwear 'n shit. That's the best looking DIY offset I've seen so far online, nice work man.
Yeah I’m a little loose in the garage 🤣.
Thanks man
Awesome pit man! Also, I had no idea a smoker build video could be so satisfying haha
Glad you liked it Michael!
Great video/build just wish your voice volume was louder nonetheless very educational build I just picked up 120 gallon, 80 gallon, 2-60 gallon compressor tanks. Looking forward to see what you do next happy building.
Good luck on your builds! Yeah for some reason my microphone volume during the voiceover was low. Super annoying. Will be better next video
That is one good looking Smoker.
Thank you
Awesome build! 🙌 I need to learn how to weld
Very nice video, build and smoker! Thanks for sharing... 😁👍🔥
Glad you like it!
You have some great skills. Well done.
I appreciate that Mike! I do what I can.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 I am embarking on my first build, picked up a 250 with the ends cut off. Looking forward to getting started. Definitely picked up some pointers watching your videos.
@@mike_ny1 sweet! Try to enjoy every minute of it.
Simple yet very nice ! 👌
Nice work! Looking at setting up a lifting beam in my garage. Would you share some pictures of your setup? Thanks
Thanks Tyler!
No problem. Email me at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com and I’ll share some pics.
Great video 🎉
Nice build, 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks John
great build what is the width of the frame
Thanks John. I think I made the frame width around 23". just narrower than the cook chamber which is 24".
Man this is awesome, would love a 65-gallon! do you do custom builds?
Yup sure do! Hit me up if interested.

Magnets only really work when the steel is thick
For example that mag clamp probably couldn’t hold its own weight on a kitchen fridge
On something 1” thick though it’s a different story
Yeah I figured that out the hard way. Flex in the plate was the root cause and lack of mass I suppose.
I enjoyed the smoker build and the video. I just wish the audio volume levels were consistent and higher. I had to turn up the volume higher than normal to here your voiceovers then turn down when the ads started. Great video though!
Thank you! Yeah I really did a bad job on the volume controls on this one. Live and learn right? I appreciate the feedback.
Where did you get the rolled steel for the cook chamber?
My metal supplier rolled it for me. Coremark metals in Minneapolis.
Is the chamber level or does it drop slightly for the grease drain
It's relatively level.
Great build, welding needs some work. Metal is too thin for that magnet that's why it fell. Need more meat for it to hold on to.
Thanks!
Yeah that steel sheet was flexing/pulsing due to the chain fall hoist being kind of a turd too. Really choppy operation. With the electric hoist it’s much smoother.
Did you use bullet hinges on the firebox door and if so how are they holding up to the heat?
Yup sure did. They hold up great. Used them on the other two offsets as well without issues.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 are they greasable hinges? I’m almost done building my first offset and have greasable bullet hinges on the cook chamber door but was sure if they would hold up to the heat of the fire box.
Great video btw 👍
@@crowsnestpassbbq8764 thanks!
Yes I prefer greaseable hinges all around.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 thank you 🙏
Do you do private builds
I do from time to time.
Nice though those sparks aren’t hitting that shiner .
How much did you charge for this exact build? Interested in purchasing one 👍🏼
I think that one went for $2700…
Email me at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com for accurate pricing if interested please
Just curious as why you didn’t add an air intake on the door. Or are you just adjusting the door for that. Great build tho
No "need" for an air intake damper on the door. Wouldn't hurt and might add additional control but is not necessary. Just leaving the door open a bit seems to work just fine. I do have a notch cut out in the door latch that keeps the door in place while open and the fire fed well enough with fresh air. About 1.5" opening. Thanks for watching!
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 yea either way works, just usually see some type of additional air intake. But whatever works. Great looking bbq
@@caseyarmstrong7064 Thank you. I might try adding some sort of damper on the door next build. Worth giving a go. I know Centex has a cool louvre style damper for their door's intake. Almost looks like an engines throttle body. Aesthetically cool AF. You may have just convinced me....
How did you get the braces on the inside of the door before you cut the door open?
I welded them on the inside before the pipe end was welded in place.
Where do you source the pipe? I can't for the life of me source a 20" diameter pipe.
I had my metal supplier roll a sheet of 7ga (3/16") steel for me. It is a bit expensive, but my only real option for pipe around here as well.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 I just did the same today. Couldn't source anything. Going to be making my first cooker soon!
@@DrewTerror Have fun with the build!
Great build. How did you get the rolled steel?
Thank you. I had my metal supplier roll it for me.
That’s nice how much would a smoker like that cost
Thanks Jack. This one was around $3k
Going to be making my own soon, just wondering how do you determine the size of the cutout from the burn box to the cook chamber?
Or how'd you determine the size of the actual burn box?
Hey Abe,
I eyeballed the opening from the firebox to the cook chamber honestly. Not too small and not too large but would err on the side of larger than smaller personally. Make sure you have a barrier between the cook chamber and firebox to avoid grease fires though.
The firebox I'd suggest at least 2 feet deep or deeper depending how large of a cook chamber you're going to have.
How big are you building?
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 right on thanks for the input! I got 2 pieces of half inch thick pipe, 20" diameter, one is 4' long the other is 3' long. I might end up making 2 smokers we'll see.
@@abewiebe3438 That's some heavy wall stuff right there! Happy building dude
Dang I wish I could hear this
Yeah the audio is crap. I might rerecord the voice over and re-publish.
Are you using a 120v welder for all that?
Nice build! I heard you mention the Midwest. Where are you located?
Thanks!
Yup I'm in Minnesota. Minneapolis
that was almost bad, when the magnet let go
I know right!? Super sketchy.
What kind of wire your using?
.030"
What are the dimensions on that bad boy!
Main cook chamber is 42" long and 24" in diameter. 3/16" thick mild steel. Smokestack is 6" diameter and 48" tall. 11ga mild steel.
can i make order?
What was the cost for rolling the main chamber?
I think it was around $600 for the sheet and to have it rolled.
nick where in Minnesota are you located
Hey Guy. I'm in Minneapolis
Do you have a tool that rolls your steel?
No i have it rolled at my metal supplier.
How much did the steel cost with current prices?
Close to $2k. Maybe a little less.
When I built mine I wasn't too concerned about the square tubing I just stuffed the tubing with insulation I had left over
Not a bad idea
Não sei se isso é cultural ou se eles são despreocupados mesmo, sempre vejo vídeos gringos e a gera se preocupa muito pouco com EPI, por que será? Várias situações de quase acidentes no vídeos, apesar do trabalho excelente, parabéns
No hay problema. No sé si es cultural, pero si sucede algo mientras se trabaja en el taller, creo que es beneficioso resaltar lo que salió mal para que otras personas puedan evitar ese escenario si deciden intentar reproducir lo que se está construyendo en el video. ¡Gracias por ver!
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 thanks for the explanation, here in Brazil the culture of safety at work is very strong, and we videos in which people build things or professionals who teach techniques, everyone always observes the use of safety equipment and proper clothing, my profession, I'm an electrician, it is very strict about using safety items, hope that is clear, thank you and happy new year
@@aderlonms All good man. Safety first
By what I have seen out there that's a $5k grill.
Not quite but I appreciate the compliment 😁
which is the diameter
24"
kanickanick, i can barely hear your dulcet tones in the voiceover. otherwise a damn fascinating vid, way to make that shit brah!
Yeah the voiceover was shit. Should've paid more attention to my microphone volume!
DUDE, get yourself some welding chaps...
hahahahahahahahah!! Don't like the shorts huh?
Very nice smoker. Do you make them also?
Hi sir I know this video was posted a year ago but I was wondering if you sell your setup ? Is if so Let me know how I can reach you
Hey Gerald,
You can reach me at fabmakebuildcook@gmail.com
I’m finishing up a very similar unit within the next couple of weeks that will be available.
Absolutely the best build, I've seen from a man who knows what he doing. Give this man a star on Hollywood Blvd 🙌 ✨️ 👏 🙏 😊
Too kind! Thanks
Awesome work! Really enjoy your videos!
Thanks Eric!
What steel grade did you use? I'll get my smoker build from 1/4" A36 steel sheet that then will be shaped to cylinder. My main concern is make sure that the steel is food safe since I don't know if that type of steel has a coating that might be non food safe. Do you think A36 is fine? Or not all A36 will be food safe?
This is 7ga pickled and oiled steel sheet. Once the metal is seasoned it’s completely safe for cooking. A36 hot rolled is the same way. Burn a decent fire in it so it gets around 450f and spray or wipe the inside with some sort of vegetable oil and you’re good to go after a few coats. Washing the metal prior to the fire so all the dirt and crap is off the metal is necessary.
@fabmakebuildcook6274 Yes I was planning on cure the smoker and add pam spray oil to create a protecting coating. Besides curing it, do you think sand blast when the steel sheet is still flat would also help to eliminate impurities and harming agents?
@@__-ul7cc couldn’t hurt
I weld on industrial size bag houses for air duct systems for manufacturing plants. We weld the seams downhill and it does great at making airtight seams. You should consider welding yours that way. The settings I use for .035 wire is 250 I’m and 20 to 22 volts. You should try that sometime. It would cut down on sanding welds. You could leave the welds and only sand at the starts and stops.
Damn, good stuff. Which I could build one of these bad boys. Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I can see huge difference between this and a $200 50amp elf-cheepo brand. Alot faster and cleaner.
Beautiful Pit! and nice chimney!!
Thanks Brad!!
The chimney is great. Much better than the 3 Home Depot chimneys I’ve burned through in the last few years 🤣
Why welding the whole seam at 1:50? and later having to cut it for the door?
Like the video,how much is the price on this smoker
Thank you! I think this one went for around $3k.
@@fabmakebuildcook6274 I'm from Namibia and i love your videos and also smoking build myself one out of scrap, work nice but i want to step up,can you send some mor info on this smoker
@@willemkuhn8678 What information would you like?
Amazing! Makes me want to learn how to weld!
What size expanded metal are you using for grates and racks and such? Not the physical dimensional size of the racks but what you order from the steel provider. Thanks, I also deal with Coremark in Mn.
Hey Jim,
3/4 x 9 is the expanded metal most commonly used.
Great build! I actually just started building my first pit, same dimensions but I have a 3/8 thick pipe. What size opening did you make from the firebox to the cook chamber?
Thanks Billy!
The opening was roughly 16" wide and 6" deep in the shape of a half circle. Leaving a good lip between the bottom of the cook chamber and the firebox is advisable since it will keep grease from entering the firebox and starting a grease fire. Outside of that I think you have a ton of wiggle room.
Super well done!!! I can't think of anything I would do differently!! Who rolled the cook chamber body?
Thanks Greg. I had my metal supplier roll the steel sheet for the cook chamber.
Can someone explain the reason for the complicated exhaust thing? Why not just a 90 degree elbow right out of the end of the cook chamber?
Hey Earl,
The collector (complicated exhaust thing) helps move the hotspot outside of the cook chamber. A 90deg elbow does the same thing. A 6” schedule 40 90deg elbow is a bit more expensive to purchase, and supposedly doesn’t do as good of a job with pipe style pits as a collector. That’s what I’ve heard anyways. Plus the collector is fun to build😁
Wow
Wish i had this thing.
Wow - smoker goals
Great video!
What half-face respirator are you using? Thanks.
It’s a 3m cheap one off Amazon
Great video! Really like the solid build - they should last a lifetime!!
Thank you!
Excellent build and I like the new format. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
happy to share :) I like the newer format as well.

About how long did it take from start to finish? Very nice build and your fab skills are on point. Cheers to some sick BBQ
Thank you!
It took between 25-30 hours to build I'd guess. Total timeframe from start to finish was about 2-3 months though due to scheduling conflicts and procrastination.
Would be awesome if you weren't so quit I would have watched the whole vid
Yeah I messed up while doing the voice over. Had the microphone volume too low. Might re-record and release. Super annoying
