Thank for the shoutout for Blue Smoke and Big Phil’s

I’ve owned a 1975W for a few years. I love it. But I still watch all your review videos and learn a lot. They’re so helpful to people in the decision making process.

I bought a BSS in December. I love it, 24 x 60, 3/8 in. thick. I still watch your videos, I think they are helpful to people still looking for their pit.

I've got a Blue Smoke Smoker and the craftsmanship and metal thickness you get for the price is the best deal in BBQ, in my humble opinion!

I own a Murillo mainly because I live in California. Absolutely love it. I went with the top grate and instead of a plancha I got a 3 level grate on top of the firebox. Runs like a dream

I wanted a Patriot pit but Murillo is much closer to me too

Man blue smoke smoker also recently went up in price but man you’re still getting a heck of a deal

Props to Smokemaster D for another great video. It's evident you put a ton of time into this one. I'm on a Patriot Pit. Top tier in my opinion. Still built one at a time. Gotta love that.

What was the wait time?

Great video...I have the Workhorse 1975 wagon package...love it! Looking at your comparisons I would still choose the Workhorse again even with the price increase. Overall, for what you get, 3/8 steel and the workmanship quality, it's hard to beat. I recently had to give mine a facelift as the elements had gotten to the raw steel...a light sanding with a scotch bright pad, some flax & avocado oil made it look like new all over...one of the reasons I went with the raw finish

tmg pits volunteer is the reigning champ. all the perks of the workhorse with a bottom pull-out, towel/tool holder, looks more custom, larger smoke stack(efficiency), short lead time. def loses to workhorse on the price though.

Inflation is pricing many out of their dream pits. I would not be surprised to see further instances of "fatstack' taking place as economic strain contiues. Best of luck to those shopping. Always a thumbs up SMD. Terribly underrated channel.

Thanks! I just hope my builder is solid financially and doesn't go under before or after my build is finished.

Workhorse Pits 1975 is still worth the wait! Cheers!

The California desert has “Deep Creek Metalworks.” They appear to be pretty legit…. I’ll likely give them a shot.

I have a 1975, it's a fantastic smoker. But after seeing a tmg pits volunteer, I'm convinced it's the better buy.

@williemakeit7185 once you see one in person you understand it's definitely not a toy. The build quality is top notch. The design is excellent as well. They also offer a diverse product catalog so you can build a whole business or backyard set from one manufacturer which for some of us is important.

@@chrisstubbs79 The only thing I struggle with is the performance of all these smokers. I meant to say gimmick. I would call it a Swiss Army knife (more of a toy than tool). I am a cook at one of the top BBQ joints in Texas. For smoking meat, we use a pit that does only that. Not multi functional.

I was there as well. Jeremy Yoder has a few reviews available on YT. The price point isn't holding me back on the TMG Volunteer, but the comments about fire management seem problematic - i.e. harder to manage or more temperamental. Not sure how I feel about that.

Greenmoney Fab is in NJ. Base price $3,500 out of my league even without shipping....... figures....

I absolutely love these videos. Find them so useful. I really really wanted a WH pit and had been saving, but I fear it’s pricing out of my range.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's a hard thing.

Maybe I missed it, but very few listed are 3/8" steel wall. Nearly two times the cost of pipe than 1/4". I know, I tried to build my own. Also one last thing, Workhorse figured out what nearly everyone on this list simply copied. Workhorse is also has an insulated stack and game changer.

Insulated stack? I have seen them, but I never thought I had seen one on a Workhorse pit (the folding thing would make it kind of tricky).

@@chrisstubbs79 All do. Look in side the smoker back at the chase or manifold. That little piece has an air gap between the tongue I call it and stack. Game changer. Prevents the cold outside air interfering with the draw. We ordered three 1000 gallons and sold our previous two 1000's just based on that.

What would be your best recommendation for a 1975 or slightly bigger pit that has INSULATED FORE BOX

I just made an episode on scoop baffle offsets. Check out the Jambo backyard pit.

I got a custom pit on order with a lead time of 17 months once I paid the 50% deposit. I have no problem with any wait time I agreed too. It's only when we go past that time with no finishing time in sight and I see you're promoting a 10-month lead time, while I wait for another BBQ season to pass with no compensation for my time. All I ask is for builders to stick to your finishing date or start compensating the buyers who put faith in you, for their time.

Just build your own. I have $1500 in my 150 gallon and that includes the price of a nice welder and plasma cutter

i think their new model is a mistake. the dealership model will increase costs. id rather they just kept the same model, demand was already there as they were what, a year out, so i dont see the point of the dealership model. how many people are dumping 3-4 grand on a smoker just spur of the moment as they saw it in store...
