@@Charles53412 The Temp gauge placement is a farce!!! You can say this and that about the temp gauge place. All you need to know is how your smoker acts at what temp, with it's specific gauge placement. I mean, after all, Aaron has changed is gauge placement over the years, so who's to say, he has it right?

It would be cheaper to buy the material, AND take a community college class on welding than to spend $5k on a BBQ pit. I only know this cause I did it myself.

@Charles53412 Жыл бұрын

Chances are it isn't as good and the fact you probably made it out of all the same gage metal like 99.99% of the home builders do, which is a improper way to build them. Temp gage placement is key too, which everyone over looks and places in the wrong spot. Not counting the proper size stack to burn a good clean fire.

@@Charles53412 I used Feldman's online smoker builder calculator. I built a reverse flow cabinet smoker that would put these to shame. I took community college welding classes but am self taught as a fabricator and in FCAW as well as MiG. No issue in using same gauge throughout build. You have no idea what you are talking about. He put the grease cup on the wrong side and his temp gauge placement is incorrect, in my world. Should have four gauges at rack height. Keep smiling, ignorance is bliss. I'm a doer and I get shit done, unlike you.

@Rob H find out the type of steel and gauge, call a local steel supplier and you will see. It varies from supplier to suppliers. Most fabrication shops have accounts with material suppliers and get it much cheaper then the general public. Other then the price it is a good looking smoker to bad there not priced for the common man, but at least there made here in the mother land 🇺🇸

@@RodStiffinton Aaron Franklins burner account. I have a Lone Star Grillzs 20x42 and it now retails for $2,400. Awesome backyard pit. I just bought a Primitive Pits 500g. Their 500’s on skids start at $6,800, only $1,700 more. The Franklin, Moberg, and MillScale 94 are priced very high, because they have a name and there are lots of people who pay for names and reputations. Not saying it’s right or wrong. Shit, they can charge $10,000 for all I care, but they are respectfully expensive.

@@thesailingtourists Well, you can get a 100 gal, 250 gal. or 500 gal. propane tank for $100 or even free. That's the biggest expense of his smoker. $225 dollar stick welder (and that's a good Lincoln cracker box) and $50 in welding rod. $100 for a DeWalt or Milwaukee grinder. $50 for cutoff and grinding wheels. $200 for supplies (welding gloves, hood, etc), and that is over kill. Get some scrap pipe say $100. Just add in $500 for extra material, and there you go. $1325, and now you have a home project. Most of those number are higher than what it would actually be, and on top of that, you now have tools to use for other things!!! (Most men worth their weight, have most of these tools anyway.)

Damn I was not impressed and for that price you can get much nicer American made pit. I’m looking forward to seeing what Goldiee’s new pit is priced at. Much bigger, unique design that is supposed to cook very evenly without drying out edges like most offsets do and it’s supposed to have excellent smoke flow. Not sure what they will cost though. Maybe you can do that video when they drop.
