Follow along as I build this beast of a smoker. I have cooked on several different smokers and this is by the far the best style around. It produces a very moist meat and i don't even think its possible to dry one out. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the build process. MAKE YOUR OWN STUFF!!!!

That's a brilliant video, actually explains a lot and why these costs so much, due to labour time. Let alone steel. You are a craftsman sir. No one in UK doing anything like this

Nicely done video showing the construction! I have a Char Griller 980 Gravity Fed. And getting to the point of wanting a bigger smoker and something with heavier build quality. I am a professional Cad Drafter with a Tig welder in his garage. I need to get designing and build one.

Smart move! I am retired and have given thought to taking some welding classes. My project would definitely entail an offset. This is an art

@Allison225merc 8 месяцев назад

Question: Like the masterbuilt and Chargriller gravity feed smokers. Can you add wood chunks directly into the hopper asking with the charcoal? BTW... And you dropped some amazing builds.

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 8 месяцев назад

yes you can. you just have to make sure they are small enough chunks to fit. i like to soak a few larger pieces and put them in the very bottom where they coals will drop on them and they have a slower burn. but directly in works too. thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words!

Really nice smoker friend!! I have a an Old Country Gravity Fed and love the way it cooks but its too small. Wanting a Gravity Fed Smoker with more cook area.

@spenjackson 10 месяцев назад

@@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms No sir, I do not have the skills or the equipment to do my own build. I’ve been researching the various GF smokers & options that are currently being marketed. The one I have works great when I cook for my wife & I. But I have a large extended family that I enjoy cooking for. I’m retired firefighter and you know us FFs love to cook. It’s therapeutic for me.

@kevingarty9597 4 месяца назад

Hey mate, Did you insulate around the fire box? How does it manage the heat? Thanks a lot. Loved the video man, going to build my own in Australia 🤙

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 4 месяца назад

Yes I insulated around the firebox. If you are concerned about the heat being too much, you can use kaowool around the firebox, but rock wool does just fine. I have done it both ways. Thanks for watching and good luck with your build.

@grimreeper70 10 месяцев назад

Awesome video. I was wondering if you would sell the plans to this. We dont have many pit builders up here in Canada. So being a farm boy, i just build the things i want.

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 10 месяцев назад

I don’t have any plans. Just build them to the specs that people want. I’ll be glad to answer questions as much as I can though. Might even be able to come up with a drawing if that would help.

@timothysteadham331 10 месяцев назад

How does the flavor and texture of the bbq from this sort of cooker compare to that from an offset smoker?

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 10 месяцев назад

I think the flavor is the same. Mike depends on whether you put wood in the coal box early in the cook. The biggest difference to me is that it’s almost impossible to dry anything out in this style of smoker. It keeps the moisture like nothing else. Not the case in an offset.

@wdbyrd2 Месяц назад

I'm curious how much in parts did this current smoker total cost

@jaykreed2718 11 месяцев назад

Very very nice. What’s a smoker of that caliber run a guy, roughly? Thanks

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 11 месяцев назад

anywhere between 8-12k from the manufacturers online... but of course you can build them cheaper yourself if you can weld a little and cut straight lines.

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 11 месяцев назад

Can you tell me where to get the brass nut and grommet to add to the gravity feed I’m currently building. Thanks

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 5 месяцев назад

Any hardware store like Lowe’s or Home Depot will have it. May have to look on the specialty aisle to find a grommet that fits inside the nut. Even if you have to get a solid grommet, you can always drill it out to fit your wires.

@WayneKellen 7 месяцев назад

I’ve watched this 4 times now and if I missed it, I’m sorry. What size square tube are you using for your frame?

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 7 месяцев назад

no worries. I may not have said, but it is 2x2.

@Rolegend504 5 месяцев назад

Where could we find square tubing like that? Also whats the length of the square tubing if you remember?

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 5 месяцев назад

Any steel supplier will have it. It’s just 2x2 tubing and comes in 20 or 21 ft sticks I believe.

@nottherealjk 11 месяцев назад

How does the gravity compare to a reverse flow?

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 11 месяцев назад

Gravity fed is referring to the way the fuel is supplied where as reverse flow is referring to the travel Of the heat/smoke. So you could have a gravity fed reverse flow smoker. In generalities, most reverse flow smokers are wood fired and made out of some type of cylinder tank. So I’m that case, a gravity fed insulated cabinet smoker like this one will be cool to the touch and much more efficient and require much less of your attention. I don’t know if that really answered your question but you can fire away if you need something clarified. I’ll be glad to help anyway I can.

@Breakn28 2 месяца назад

Does the firebox really need to be that big? It just seems like it would create an unnecessarily large fire burning through more charcoal than whats actually needed? Yes I know airflow on alot of these is restricted but I dont believe a clean fire is created with a smothered fire.

@ashleythompson9037 9 месяцев назад

How much cost do you have in materials ? This is a very professional build! Nice work

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms 9 месяцев назад

Thank you. I don’t really want to say but just like anything else, you’ll have a fraction of what it cost to buy one if you have the tools and skill set to make it yourself. With this type of work, labor is going to be the most expensive part of the process so if you do it yourself, you cover that cost.
