Alberta Barbeque 24x50(ish) build thread.

Phaddie · Oct 23, 2020

Hello All.

After much research and posting on the forums here I decided to order a cooker from a builder here in Canada.

Its going to be a 24x50(ish) cook chamber 3/8 thick, and I just found out that due to supply issues my firebox has been upgraded to 1/2 inch!

I will post pics as I get them in this thread. If anyone has questions about the builder please let me know, he is eager to get his name out there. I found him to be the best option here in Canada if you did not want to spend huge bucks (around $4000 all total to have a shirley 24x36 shipped here) on an American cooker.

Here is a shot of the pipe as its being picked up from the supplier.

awesome looking offsets. Cant wait to see it finished.

I'm in Utah and these guys are actually closer to me than ordering an offset from Texas which is what I was considering!

In Alberta yes. It was 20 degrees (celsius) here yesterday.

8.5" of snow in Cowtown as of this morning.
It is supposed to warm up next week and the carwash owners will be celebrating!
Looking forward to seeing your pit come together.

Quick question on the bare finish Phad. Does Alberta BBQ put any coating on it? I know on the workhorse pits they bake boiled Linseed on the pit. They have a video of how you can do this yourself on YouTube either on the workhorse vids or on the Quetorials vids that JD ( Workhorse owner) puts on. Just curious what Alberta does? Thanks.

He uses just vegetable oil or beef tallow if he has any. I am going to use the linseed oil once it gets here. He does an initial burn to test the welds and season it with oil inside and out.

UPDATE:

My son and I repurposed some doors we had kicking around in the garage today. This should hold a face cord of wood no problem. I have since secured it to the garage and put the door hardware back into it for a cosmetic touch

I almost ordered from him this summer. His pits look fantastic. I found a used Horizon instead which was a lot cheaper. Not a lot of people building pits like this in Canada.

Lots of great pics on his Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/albertabarbecue/?hl=en

I am super excited. Where do you get your wood here in Toronto?

Dude, there's white stuff on your pipes. That should make a great smoker.

Phaddie · Nov 11, 2020

Got a few updates!

1st. The pit builder was able to upgrade his shop to a bigger space, which is great for him.

2nd. I was talking him up so much that someone else from the Toronto area bought a pit from him!!

3rd More Pics!!

Not long now!!

What type of smoke stack ? - I like the collector box style at grate level.
