That is brilliant, I love the griddle idea, it would be nice for reverse searing steaks or burgers the list goes on, beautiful

You can really tell the craftsmanship of these smokers very impressed considering the loss of detail in videos keep up the great work definitely earned my subscription!

That griddle on the fire box is a great idea

your new shop looks awesome you deserve it brother thanks for all your shows

Some real nice additions there Allen! I really like the griddle build on top of the fire box.

I like that design you have going on with that one. Would love to have a charcoal basket for grilling too. You selling that design too? How much man? Thanks.

Love the griddle Allen, a lot of the big names are doing it now, so you can reverse sear your steak, or sear and smoke. You could beat them all to the punch with a grease tube down the back and a valve with a small bucket hanging. I have not seen a grease tube, sure would be nice for clean up, there is no question you have the ability to pull it off, love the new look.

Have anybody realized how solid Allen's creations are? I would gladly pay the same outrageous amount I have to by buying a flimsy barbecue from any hardware store. Greetings from Toronto

Love that smoker man, shop is looking great too! Being able to spread out in the shop and have room to work is nice!

Just love your stuff! I have learned so much from your videos... I would not have had the successful addition of a new firebox to a 50+ year old pit without your videos. Keep 'em coming!

It’s been that long since I’ve seen one of your videos. Your working indoors now. Brother your welding skills are amazing. Keep up the good work.

Allen!! This is a great project. I can’t thank you how much you helped me in your builds! I have shared it with my students and we have yet to fabricate your cool smokers! Once again, thank you for your help!

Thanks for sharing and the griddle worked out great. Nice build.

The all around cooker. Outstanding job! I might need to add griddle to my wish list!

Great design and a nice change seeing you actually using one for yourself . Shop looks great bet your still getting used to having space to work I instead of being on top of everything. Thanks again , and the chicken looked very inviting ..

You do a great job. It is so enjoyable building things out of metal. And good clean metal welds so good. A mig is the way to go. Welded years with stick, that's why they call it stick.

Hey Allen, I build pits as well. Happy to see someone else working on pits. I do sell them, I haven't built 1 for my personal use. I just finished my 1st reverse flow, paint is going on today.

Another awesome build allen.👍🏼

Great Smoker and excellent work.

Looking good man, glad the videos are back

Impressive cuz!!!

Man, I like that one. Great work.

I built a 60" x 30" RF for a guy at the start of summer and I ended up putting a 24"x 32" griddle on the FB. He loves the griddle because it's easy for him to throw something on it for his lunch when he is at a BBQ comp or doing catering somewhere.

Fantastic Alan!

Looks good. Nice job.

You are the best out there man the very best

Looks awesome and the food came out looking the goods the griddle is an interesting idea

Wow Sir! I really love your work. I am in South Africa and I would love to build similar products. I am sure that the popularity will kick off here too. I have been building off set smokers from second hand water tanks.

Nice work!

Like the pit design.. them chicken running gears look delicious 😋!! ✌

if you put on a 1" spout for the drain with a tiny shelf a few inches below, you can hook a tomato can or beer can under the spout to catch the fat/cleanup runoff. No galv pipe on the side of the firebox that will get clogged by bacon fragments and lost onion rings.

Awesome video

Nice smokers man 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸 👍Now that you have a concrete floor to kneel Down on You might already know but harbor freight has Roller magnets to clean a area quick so you dont have to worry get metal splinters in your knees. My friend got a bad infection from them.😎

Awesome job food looks good..

I like the evolution of that smoker design. Does the added height of the cook chamber help even out the hot spot on the cooking grate near the firebox?

Nice build Allen... Real nice. Been wondering for awhile... Would a 24" 1/4" steel pipe smoker version be more reasonably price and save you time? Compared to the style you been doin? Excellent work brother.

On next one, for the mill scale on the griddle, a dunk overnight or so should remove it, and a little thicker steel, like an inch thick would cook MUCH better.

🔥🔥🔥

Great job looks awesome may try to put me one together myself hope it’s all k if I use some of your patterns with a little twist

Nice work Allen, can you tell me how to figure out the size of the throat from the fire box to the cooking chamber? I tried using that web site calculator, but I can't figure it out,,, any help would be greatly appreciated. Love your videos

Man you are awesome. What kind of welder are you using? 110 power or 220?

I like the addition of the griddle, I wonder if there is room to drill thru the end of the grease groove and bottom of the fire box then run your grease tube thru the corner of the fire box and out the bottom?

What would be the cost of the grill you did for your self? I love the way it came out.

How's the temperature hold?And u could probably go little smaller on stack couldn't ya to retain more heat and save little on metal.Just found ur site and I'm looking for one I'll keep watching ur videos,where u located?

😊

Cadillac quality

I don't understand what is going on with the grease trap,grease will not stay warm enough to completely drain without eventually clogging the pipe.

Do you have some deminsions on pit design like in this design you can share?

Are those leg quarters from that mean attack rooster you have?

what is the cost of this cooker?

What is the price for that smoker

Do you have a website?

Where are you located

Can I buy a smoker

how much for this one??

I need a vertical one with side fire box

That won't be any good!
