  12. J RAY on February 24, 2023 at 8:47 am

    What’s the dimensions on the smoker?

  13. Imbokeri on February 24, 2023 at 8:51 am

    Damn. Alligator Jesus didn’t die for this.

  14. Matthew Norris on February 24, 2023 at 8:52 am

    Cringe worthy explanation of oxygen acetylene. Oxygen is oxidizing the steel. It’s not there to blow it away.

  15. Mac Barton on February 24, 2023 at 8:54 am

    Where the guard for that grinder !

  16. moncorp1 Inc on February 24, 2023 at 8:56 am

    Katie Pickens has a Christina Applegates sister look going on.

    Someone stole their pit ideas from Aaron Franklin…

  18. Avery Blanton on February 24, 2023 at 8:58 am

    Over priced pit for it’s size. I can by a trailer pit I can pull for that price.

  19. Gene Benny on February 24, 2023 at 8:58 am

    Texas.. i visited America and they have the best barbique in the word!

  20. Tim on February 24, 2023 at 8:58 am

    Hi is it ok to install the Exhaust Damper close to cooking chamber instead of the end of stack? I will appreciate the feedback.

  21. Wesley Nichols on February 24, 2023 at 8:59 am

    I love these builds and show. I’ve had cut off wheels explode while using it, ran out of gas in my torch while cutting… A plasma cutter would change these guys world for fabrication.

  22. Rafael Umaña on February 24, 2023 at 9:00 am

    Don’t let OSHA see you don’t have the guard on the grinder

  23. Jedidr on February 24, 2023 at 9:01 am

    Alligator to Bacogator

  24. David Ruiz on February 24, 2023 at 9:02 am

    Can the pit be 20” and the smoker be 16”. Will it work.

    Louisiana tastes like chicken

  26. Tara Williams on February 24, 2023 at 9:05 am

    I currently live in Lexington, Kentucky and am wanting to try to make my first offset smoker…I cannot find anyone who sells the steel pipe like the ones you are all using. Is there any suggestions on where to go, who to call? Any info would be extremely helpful.

    I’ve gone to metal suppliers and I’m told every time that no one will carry the size I’m looking for…which would
    Be 18-22” diameter, 1/4” thick, at least 4 foot cooking chamber and at least a 2 foot firebox..all round tube

    I wouldn’t hand someone a cutoff wheel first time holding a grinder 😬

  29. GseWorldwide on February 24, 2023 at 9:08 am

    The guy in the black is literally built like one of those smokers 😂 man is a UNIT

  30. moncorp1 Inc on February 24, 2023 at 9:09 am

    Tattooed, bearded welders/fabricators sure have different personalities these days than they did 20 years ago.

  31. MrPland1992 on February 24, 2023 at 9:12 am

    No safety guard on that cutoff wheel is a OSHA violation. 😉

  32. Hrvoje Berden on February 24, 2023 at 9:12 am

    My sweet gator Jesus!!! Wow!

  33. paul garcia on February 24, 2023 at 9:12 am

    There’s no reason for no guard on a grinder unless you want to loose your fingers! 21 years 6g certified

  44. N0b0dy 0 on February 24, 2023 at 9:23 am

    Smoker is a awesome way to bbq but add thousands of sauce just ruins the meat, it’s like put a diamond in a iron ring, the meat must to be tasteful without tons of sauce

  45. Mihai Juravle on February 24, 2023 at 9:23 am

    Grinder guard??
