Thank-you everyone for the positive comments!!! This is my first real video, so I'm truly humbled to read these comments. I'm just doing this as a bit of a hobby and not selling anything at this stage.... Maybe one day!

Waoo that's great to see..

Takes me back to the day. My uncle was a iron worker all his life. High steel. Had his shop at home. He could build anything. Watching you was watching him all over again. I know he is in slag heaven. You are an artist. Sticks up and burn.

Well done mate.. No frills and unnecessary boring talk show, just straight to the point and simple as.. Vedio footage and quality of work extremely great.. Well done.. 💯 👏

This has got to be the prettiest barbecue ever built. I'm glad you're not selling it. "The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits!" This is simplicity at its elegant best.

Just wanted to say that this is one of the BEST smoker build videos I've seen yet. I actually feel like I could to this myself now. (We'll see!) Thank you for using a stationary camera mount and not try to hold a crap cell phone as you attempt to cut or weld and ramble nonsensically in an attempt to explain your process. Seriously, this is a GREAT video. Hope you make more!

Im just blown away. Taking it back to the good ol days where you do it yourself. Great craftsmanship!!!

Whenever you do decide to start selling, let us know brother, nice build

Jeremy im with you its real nice im no grill master but I would love to learn how to grill ribs n chicken.. that looks like it will get the job done.

This by far the best self-build smoker video on KZread. Many thanks for making this informative and quality video.

A proper old school engineer that can work with wood also didn't see a cnc machine anywhere all by hand turning and fabricating. Excellent work top quality a pleasure to watch

An absolute pleasure to watch your video. You have a work of art. You're a true Craftsman.

A sense of pride making something from an idea in your head...Also, you are a talented person fro being able to make that grill as well...well done..

It's a great time to be alive. DIY anything. I get asked why don't you just buy it. But there is satisfaction you get even you build it yourself. Nice job boss.

I must say , I'm almost moved to tears by your workmanship. That grill is built like a tank and will last for many moons. I'm truly impressed , well done sir. 😎

ABSOLUTELY love the ingenuity and OUTSTANDING craftsmanship my good man! Thanks for sharing...

The Craftsmanship on this guy is absolutely AMAZING.....

I am humbled by your elegance & skills! I'm very proud of what you've accomplished building this & I bet you're still using that same smoker today! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

From a bbq eating Texan you sir are a skilled craftsman, artist, and an inspiration!

Some how they always look better with a beer sitting on them lol, great build 👍

Dude! I thoroughly enjoyed the video, watching how you made this amazing looking smoker. I got into meat smoking a few years ago and use a cheap electric cabinet smoker and have been thinking of graduating up to a real smoker and building one of my own. Yours looks really robust and sturdy, good idea using an old compressor tank with its high carbon steel for the smoke chamber. Very, very impressive. That puppy will out live you I think! Well done and greetings from Great Britain!

Having a workshop like that is a thing of beauty

You, sir, are an artist. Very well done and enjoyable to watch. Also, thanks for not adding any annoying music.

you are a true engineer absolutely amazing range of skills. Not just the welding!

Best bbq build video I’ve seen on KZread. Good job! 👍🏻

Man, I’ve watched a LOT of smoker build videos but this is hands down the best I’ve seen. You have phenomenal fabrication skills and that’s the nicest DIY smoker I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing.

Dude great video.simple, not filled with all that commentary that's just used to get a video over 10 minutes. I was so into this that I cant believe I just watched a 16 minute video.

Awesome build. I just started mine but I’m stumped as to how to do the grates but you used a simple and elegant solution that I believe I will borrow. Thanks!

Very nice...I built an identical one, but located the smoke stack towards the front ( firebox) top side. I welded a 1/4" plate on the bottom, sealed the firebox side, and left open the far side so the plate would heat and the smoke was forced under/over the 1/4", over the meat, and exhausted back towards the firebox...

Now that's what I call a Handy Man! A little more than a 44Gal drum cut in half. That was sensational, fantastic - well done to you Sir. I just love the finished product, very nice.

The algorithm brought me here but the quality craftsmanship kept me watching. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.

You truly are a king amongst men sir

Good job Sir. On the cooker and the video. Goes to show you that a big script is not needed when you have a skill to show. It would look great in my backyard too!Thanks.

Hands down....THE BEST offset smoker build I've seen on KZread and trust me, I've watched at least 30 different ones!!! Some from people who are supposed to be the best smoker builders from the USA. Not one of them has that unique design for the fire box.....absolutely smashed it mate!!! Well done!!!

I can’t believe all the work and craftsmanship that went into just the handle! Awesome build.

This is what older people mean when they say “son they don’t make em like this anymore”

This is my first ever you tube comment. Better make it memorable ...... That was good. Really good.

Wowww..

Maximum respect! The satisfaction each time you use it is immeasurable. Enjoy all the food that is cooked in it. From the UK.

This is a lost art. You've inspired me to build one, now I just need all the tools you have, and a place to do the work. I'm sure it'll come out exactly the same.

Some serious skills and tools, I really enjoyed that.

Not sure how I got here. But stayed till the end. Good job 👍🏻

Awesome work. Love how you built everything from scratch like the handles and grill grates. That's something to be proud of.

Dude... That was awesome... the wood fittings really set it off... a thing of beauty... well done!!!

Holy crap thats a weapon of a smoker, man you have some skills

fantastic..... greetings from Guayaquil Ecuador

You my friend said more than any other video I’ve seen with out saying anything. Loved it.

I’ve seen this video 3 times now. Still one of my favorites. Well done sir

Awesome job, you have real talent!

Start selling them you will make money We’re happy to pay for quality, and that’s quality

That wood you added, complimented everything so well!!

Nice craftsmanship. Enjoy actually hearing the work being done instead of a lot of annoying music. Ballpark⁰ of time ad money. Again great work and video.

Really great work it looks amazing!! I wish I knew how to build a smoker lol

Loved this project, thanks for sharing!!

I've watched a lot of these offset builds, some from pipe some from propane tanks. The way you put the rods together with spacers for your cooking grate was genius, and truly sets you apart from the guys making angle iron and expanded metal grates. Erock should watch this video. I still scratch my head at Erockxs vid, cutting the pipe in half all ghe way and having it spring open..... I don't have the tools or skills, so watching a guy as smart and skilled as he is doing that was mind boggling.

It's like watching Stone Cold Steve Austin 3:16 building a grill. Can I get a Hell Yeah!? Good job, I am truly inspired.

that was so satisfying to watch, cheers.

I love to watch builds like this, brilliant, just brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Florida USA! 🇺🇸💜🇺🇸💜🇺🇸💜🇺🇸

Nice job!! Very clean. And the smartest move I've seen yet on cutting into that tank, filling full of soapy water.

That's a nice smoker.

VERY VERY NICE. 10++

Very nice! I've had half a eye out for an old propane tank for years now with the same idea in mind. Something for your grandkids to inherit!

Fantastic job! Your hinges were a clever trick, heavy duty. Good skills, that smoker will last a lifetime.

Awesome Man!!!

Bravissimo!!! Complimenti

Wow! I couldn’t look away lol. What a masterful job sir! You are a true craftsman.

Very nice work. I built mine bbq grill as a hobby also. This will be my next project as I myself have been researching on KZread on how to build one. So far yours is the model I will use.

DE POCA MADRE, SUPERCHINGON

I'm 3 minutes in and wondering why anyone would downvote this.

Wow, the sense of pride every time you look at that BBQ must be immense. Great to see you used all the safety gear too when making it. Well done.

Great craftsmanship and great video! Glad you showed it in action at the end.

Awesome

nice . . . but when you started in on that wood with the lathe i wondered "is he making custom firewood?"

Nice pit! I really like how you designed the fire box! Scoring and bending certainly saves on a lot of welding. Thanks for soing the video, bud

This is what BUILD QUALITY is all about. Thanks boss👍 Big up!!👍

That was a lot of work and planning to make your smoker man, great job! What do you like and dislike after using it? Also, are you happy with the food it produces!?

I am a steel fabricator and this has got to be the best video of someone making a smoker I’ve seen on KZread. Don’t know if this is your profession but it definitely should be.

Thank you for sharing! thats a great build and the result is better than anything i have seen to buy off the shelf!

Dude you are amazing! I'm still in shock God has blessed you with a gift and I can see you didn't though it by the wast side. This video was awesome!

Two comments: 1) amazing craftsmanship on the welding project, and 2) very very well done youtube video - far too many youtubers spend 10x as long as they should telling you the details of how their grandfather taught them to weld or whatever - there was not a single segment of this video I would have left out or embellished. There are very few 15 min youtube videos I'd sit through without thinking, "get on with it". This is one of them. Great job man.

Sir how can I buy one of these smokers from you

@@rafidalsabak4645 I own a custom smoker. 36"x24"x24" Vertical, 1/4" steel with 2'x'2x22" 1/2" thick steel fire box from Lonestargrillz. $700-900 won't buy that pit. That looks like about a 20x32, 20x36? without casters, expect to pay a bare minimum of $1150-$1350 for the one he just built. 10 years ago you might have picked one up for as low as $900 but not now. I have not kept up with what the trade war with China has done to steel prices.......could be 10-15% more. A well built pit made of heavy materials holds consistent temps and for a longer period of time. The steel absorbs the heat and re-radiates it back onto the food giving you a very even cook compared to those tin cans from the lumber stores. A few winters ago it was 29 deg here in SW Louisiana and I wanted brisket (I'am from Texas). That pit never missed a beat. They are worth every dime. I paid about $2475 with options back in 2010 and it would run about $3400 now...............I'd still pay it and never blink and I make less than 45k a year.

U should sell them

You have inspired me to make my own back in the U. k. Better than any I've seen being sold. Some build 👊

This man put a lot of time & effort into putting it together. Took no short cuts. Adding the wood gave a detail effect. Looks better than the grill/smoker you buy. 👍👍👍 My personal opinion....

I could do this way better of I wanted too... But I wouldn't bc I could go to Walmart and buy one for 1/4 of the cost and problay b 4xs lighter also. Awesome job though dude mad skills bro. And yes I would go to Walmart bc I would never b able to do this lol thumbs up man👍👍👍🤙😎

Can you sell it to me?

Excellent work. I love the wooden handle and prep table. It was a very nice/classy touch!

Great job, I can't tell that you take pride into your work. And the quality of your work is outstanding.

Great job on the build. One of the best I've seen so far.

Really nice job. You fabricated all of it, hinges, handles and all. That's super impressive.

Nicely done. I do have to add that you were very prepared. It's nice to have all the right tools for the job! 😉

Beautiful craftsmanship and great video! I just picked up a 30-ish gallon compressor tank and I’m going to build a smoker. It will be my first welding project.

Great custom grill and you are quite the craftsman! Thanks for the great video!

Beautiful, an obvious craftsman. Excellent video!

WOW! Watching you build that was a treat, but the end product is AMAZING!!!

Absolutely beautiful, truly a work of art. Nice job.

That looks incredible! Outstanding work!

I so much enjoyed watching this whole process! Great job Sir. and great video! Thank you for sharing it. 👏👏👏👍👍

You are a master craftsman. Outstanding pit and great video work to boot. Much thanks

You, sir, are a great craftsman! Hat off!
