I built this one a couple weeks ago. I got it painted this morning. It doesn’t look too bad. I need to find some shiny heat proof paint. The only thing they had was bbq black. It cooks well, used it a couple times.

Looks good but I'd put that temp gauge where the meats going to be cooking.

It’s pretty close. I keep meat by smoke stack

Nice rig!👍🏻

How heavy is it?

800 to 900 lbs

That's a work horse. Nice

Thank you!

Very nice hanco. Can I send Grub Hub to your place for some brisket?

Sure, cooked ribs Friday

You did a nice job on that. looks great.

Nice! Your grand kids will not be able to wear it out.

What flave said!

Seriously?

Holy smokes thats a heavy pit!! I bet it holds heat well.

Nice work

Looks nice.

Question - you’ve got the firebox directly underneath the stack. Do you have baffles in there to redirect smoke into the meat box and then out?

Good looking smoker. Nice work.

well done

Very nice you old tin knocker you.

Don't they have Grub Hub in Texas? That is an awesome piece of work, congrats on your skills.

8-900 lbs? It needs a trailer hitch.

Now I understand why Texans have BBQ guns. If someone wants to move the BBQ, they shoot them

For us ignorants, tell us the details of draft, smoke, cookbox, etc.

Looks nice. What kind of wood or charcoal do you use. Probably a dumb question but I dont know of anyone who has one.

I'd like to have a large outfit like that, I doubt if I'd ever need one that large.

The bottom 1/4 of 22” pipe above firebox is cut out. A piece of 1/2 plate is welded in a third of the way from bottom of pipe. The 1/2 plate goes to 6” from the end. The heat and smoke hits the 1/2 plate, goes to end of pipe, up around over meat to smoke stack and out.

I use mesquite mostly, but hickory and red oak sometimes. I can get pecan too. It’s good also.

I’ve built quite a few like this. Some like the one I built my son in law.

Damn nice job Hanco!!

looks great!

but, that is a grill sir
a pit, is a hole in the ground.
lol

Pretty UDS, Hanco.

Built this one about 1990. Took me three weeks.

looks cool!

I love homemade cookers.


One i built several years ago for deer camp.

Well done, Hanco. Well done, indeed!

Nice job hanco

Probably my last one

That's nice!!!!

Very Uber, hanco.

I don’t unnastand the wheels though. Gonna need forks to move it!

We use a fork lift to move it.

Knew it!

The wheels are for looks.
