Congratulations, Love the Mill Scale! I think that the Mill Scale is one of the best Craft Smokers out there. My top picks would be: -Mill Scale -Moberg -FatStack Smokers ( not in any particular order). I’m sure Franklin is good and all, it just seems kinda of small. Primitive Pits/Workhorse Pits is also very good. I’m also interested in knowing the length of the Firebox and Cookchamber! Thank you!

I'm getting the workhorse 1975 due to 3/8" steel all around, cowboy grill, top stack, and 4 temp probes and cheaper the price than Mill scale. I payed $3600 with shipping compared to what I was going to pay with Mill scale, $4,800!

It's a great looking pit. The first smoker I had is one I made out of 22" well casing and was my second welding project. Talk about a labor of love. That was 15 years ago and it's still amazing. Yours looks like it will stand the test of time as well. Cheers amigo. Enjoy it.

Also, Chuds BBQ pits are really good. They are located pretty close to mill scale in the south Austin area. Chuds Is one of the only smoker builders to offer a 3/8 inch wall thickness on the cook chamber and 5’ long, it’s a beast at almost 1000 lbs!

I just got back from Lockhart last Tuesday after driving from Seattle to pickup my 94gal. In Lockhart. Caleb and the boys loaded it and strapped it down on my truck and we headed back to Seattle.

Great vid man! Living in Austin everyone in the craft food industry here knows Millscale! Their smokers get shipped out all over the world (odd that KZreadrs never really caught on, but good for you for doing your research). LSG (Lone Star Grillz) isn’t as well known here as is Millscale, so oddly enough part of my decision to buy a LSG was that everyone here in Austin either has or wants a Millscale or Franklin! 😂 And I’m not even a KZreadr! I admit Millscale makes a metal af looking smoker, what I ultimately decided on was LSG’s raw metal builds (no previously used tanks) 1/2” firebox, insane welds, and they operate their small family business just outside of Houston (My wife and I lived and got married in Houston over 20 years ago… so there’s some sentimentality in that purchase as well!)

I considered Mills Scale 94 gallon offset, I'm located about an hour from Lockhart, but when Sonny Moberg advertised he was building 40 Back yard 100 gallons offsets which he rarely does I had to pull the trigger and go with a Moberg - Sonny Moberg is 78 miles from my house. The pricing is about the same - I'm not knocking Mills Scale, they build great pits. Moberg puts the same quality in his backyarders as he does his 1000 gallon pits which are used in the Top BBQ joints in Texas. I have own several high end pits (Klose traditional flow, and reverse flows, Ole Hickory . But this Moberg is the best I have ever owned. Oh yeah tip, on fire management buy a small lowes shop cordless blower to help get ur smoldering logs to catch fire....You'll thank me later. Enjoy

Awesome addition bruh…. I have similar stick burner and a 640. I can get very similar results to the Franklin with my 640 using an amazin tube- without the fire management headaches- I’m also ready to roll in 30 minutes with the 640. We do think the Franklin gives a deeper sweet-smoke compared to 640 and use it when time’s not an issue…. It takes me about an hour to get the fire and temp settled in on the stick burner. You’ll want some lump and smaller splits to set your coal bed- lots of good videos out there…. Enjoy the ride and keep the vids coming. PS- When we fire the big girl up- we cook a bunch of stuff- brisket/ribs/burgers…. Vacuum pack the extras for quick barbecue any time…
