HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?!?!

The only known piece of BBQ equipment with its own gravitational field.

The shear size and mass of this thing is impressive by itself, but the thing that always gets me with your creations is the unique mechanical mechanisms. I freaking love them! Such an amazing piece of work! Thanks for sharing!

There's only one word for what you've shown us, Jimmy: artistry. Incredible, the amount of tricks and ingenuity, from the damper in the chimney to the repurposed clamp for your air inlet. Just the sheer combination of recycled parts, yet it looks purpose-built. Those were 27 dense minutes!

@@jimmydiresta Agree with all that. Great ideas yadda. Are ya gonna install some kinda DIROTISSERIE? (nudge/wink) Gotta remember chickins and roasts and briskets and turkeys and such, no? I made a similar deal in Peru from a 2' diam x 1/2" wall thickness x 3' length of steel pipe stolen from the gold mine I was workin at. Held heat excellently. And required a fork lift to move. I'm sure that expanded steel grate was NOT galvanized--zinc imparts a peculiar flavor.

I lost count of how many times I thought, "Oh, that's clever.", in this video.

Thank you for not turning this into a 50 part series.

The coolest thing watching you creations is for me the use of the old-"vintage" tools. I love that part !!!

That has to be one of the best smokers I've ever seen, great job in fabrication and assembly, makes me want to build a smaller version, for my own homestead. Thanks for sharing this!

Is there anything Jimmy can’t build!? So much skill and talent. Watching your videos are never time wasted but time well spent. Great job once again!!!

Potential customer : How many pounds does the smoker weigh??? Diresta probably : All of them...

Nothing says barbecue season has started like a foot of snow. It's always nice to see you be creative, Jimmy! Thank you!

That is a fantastic build! My son and I built a smoker a couple of years ago from an old tank, but watching this is making me want to do another one! So many nice touches and features! LOVE the insulated fire box!!!!

This is one of the most brilliant builds I've ever seen, man, you are the top of the pyramid!

I love your reciprocating power hack saw! The angle iron shear, the notcher all things I remember from years past!

I don't know much about machining but I've seen tons of smoker builds, cant believe you made such unique concepts in 2021! Awesome older style tools too. What a pleasure to watch!

More audible "wow"s from me. So so cool.. and now I'm hungry.

the BBQ smoker for the , man that could withstand a direct hit from a nuclear bomb 2x 👍

I love that the fine details that I haven't seen in other vids: the variable firebox output, insolated firebox, the firebox close mechanism, the thermometers placement, and I can see that you tried to go the extra mile on everything you did. Congrats, you are a true craftsman!

Jimmy's shop is so efficient, that he and his team have developed their own ''chipmunk'' talk. Us mere mortals can't understand it.

It’s a weird coincidence that you are doing a tank grill project, that happens to be what I’m doing today :D

In the next episode, Jimmy throws in a small block Chevy and 4 speed to move it around on the patio...and do burnouts!

I think that's the most overbuilt smoker I've ever seen. Well done Diresta.

Favorite build yet! Your welding skills have come a long way since the Lincoln factory tour. Keep up the great work and fantastic videos!

I loved it. You've got the best tools Jimmy. I have to say, whenever I see a notification that you have released a new video, I hold on to watch it at night time when it's the most quiet. Great work. 👍👍

the pure ingenious of this man never ceases to amaze me.

Craftsmanship, expertise in metal, Its So nice watching this video over and over again. How I wish I had that kind of workshop and all those tools....envy, everything looks so easy while you're doing it. Thanks for sharing Jimmy.

This build reminds me of the bandsaw stand. Love the heavy metal and watching the lever mechanisms come together.

Bending those angles was the most satisfying thing I did all day. I mean, saw.

The tools for cutting, notching, and bending the angle are cool.

Another masterclass showing what can be done with some skills, tools and imagination ! I love all the mechanical locks, latches etc. It blows my mind how he even thinks of these things........Incredible

Man I got to say, I have watched this video like 10 times, the amount of awesome ideas and ingenuity behind this build has givin me alot of ideas for my smoker. Just awesome! Beautiful smoker!

This is the 2nd time I watched this and it hit me how crazy heavy duty this bbq is compared to super thin sheet metal bbqs you get at Home Depot. Your bbq/smoker looks like it weighs a 1000lbs...nicely done. Also I loved the use of custom linkages and doors all over that thing. Sweet design! 🤙

I couldn't relate to this project until you welded the lid handle on.

Also love that these scissors are seen in use for cutting up the insulation. Loved that project Jimmy :)

I don't think I've ever been as jealous of another man's tools as I am of the angle-iron specific bar cutter, notcher and folder. It's like an Ironworker but without all the hydraulics.

When you cut through that meat I said “very nice” and the wife said “fabulous”.

that was a lot of work. so many cool ideas like the door latch, smoke gap adjustment, .... it must have cost them few grand man

It's nice to see those relics at real use. Not only been exhibited in museums!
