Pit Update pics

bbqpigskin · 02-07-2007, 09:16 PM

My pit is actually strting to look like a PIT! I just finished 3 of the four racks. I decided to go with four racks instead of just two and used mild steel rather than stainless. I know the stainless is easier, but tit just was not cost effective for me right now. The smoke stacks are beasts. They are made of 5 in tubular steel. I will hopefully be ready for the sand blaster within a couple of weeks!

Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

Looks good! Why are you building it in a school hallway?

I dont remember metal shop letting us do stuff like that when i was in high school, i tell you these kids today are just to damn spoiled

Mista,

It's not a school hallway, it is our welding shop at the high school that I teach at. The lockers are for welding students.

Helped the neighbor kid bring his pit home from school. Awesome job he did except on the firebox vents. I can still kick myself for not coming up with $400 to buy it, and I never found out how good it cooked.

That's what I was thinking.

Anyway, the pit looks great. The stacks are sweet. Is it made out of "scrap" or do you have to buy the materials?

I wonder how you can figure just how much exhaust to have based on pit size ? Short of experience. Nice Pit keep us posted.

Great skills!
For those of us that can't even scratch our t**d cutters.....how long does it take for your students to complete the smoker?
Do you use pipe that might be used for fluid transfer or what?

bbqpigskin · 02-08-2007, 09:58 AM

First off, the pit is mine not the school's. I have just been using the shop to build it. The shop teacher is a great guy and I have one advanced student that has already been certified to help me out. Most of the materials I have purchased. We are fortunate and have a great industrial gas/Welding supply store in town. They can get anything I need. Some of it is scrap that I picked up here and there.
