Than you. Really appreciate it. Yeah, it’s definitely not simple haha to be completely honest. I’m surprised that I was able to complete it! But I really love BBQ so I guess it was just in the cards.
Hey sir. First of all, looks really good! I built a 120 gallon myself. At first I had my collector coming into my pit just like you. I know it’s a pain but I would cut the access metal in the smoker from the collector so it is rounded inside. It made a huge difference with airflow. I hope this makes sense. The air was getting trapped from the flat metal on the collector. Cheers.
Hey there! Thank you. And that is awesome and a huge undertaking. Congratulations. you know after I got that thing welded in there. I was wondering how much it would affect it. I haven’t cut it off yet, but I have been thinking about it! Thanks for letting me know That helped you a lot really appreciate the insight!
Thank you! I actually got that idea from looking at Moberg smokers. Got to give credit for credits due haha. Yes definitely looking at getting it on a trailer. I think I’m gonna have a local metal shop Build me a trailer seeing that that will be the cheapest option.
Hell yeah brother I’ve been getting my tanks and parts and tools together to build mine and you encourage me to just do it in the garage instead of waiting until I get a shop built matter fact you damn right I’m gonna go ahead and get that thing built so I can get some barbecue going
I know how you feel. I was going to build a shop but things got in the way… so I just went for it! And now looking back I’m happy I did a lot more work! But we are cooking on it tonight. So good luck and gods speed dude look forward to seeing it come together. And thank for checking out our channel!
my dream cooker..did u watch the aaron franklin vid. on how he did his...how did u determine the size of hole to cut for firebox?...is there a reason for a bigger or smaller hole? very cool series of the build....thanks for sharing
Not gonna lie I’ve really enjoyed cooking on Zeus!! It is my my dream cooker as well. lol yes I have seen that episode… after the fact I had already did mine haha. To be completely honest, I just kind of eyeball. It got it up there and then just kind of kept cutting until I got it to fit. The bad thing is the first cut I made was too big and I had to add material back in totally could’ve took more time and did a better job, but I really just needed to get it together! And thank you! Love the questions and thanks for checking out the channel!
Well done sir, that pit is massive and I love it/you!!! 3 sausages on your first cook though… not mad, just disappointed. 15 briskets next time brother!!
Keep up the good work
😂❤
Good build series. To many channels make it look simple.

And it ain't going anywhere. You need to trailer that thing, bud. I'm sure you've got plans and just couldn't wait to start cooking. Looks great, man.
Cool pit!
Thank you! And thanks for checking out the channel means a lot!
That's an impressive smoker. I like the hinge design for the stack. Are you planning to put it on a trailer to be able to move it around later?
