Beef Ribs on my New OffSet!!

[PostOak]

I spent half the summer building my dream offset 24x48 and 3/8" thick. I never welded before but I'm a pretty good carpenter. The hottest summer in record in Phoenix and I start an outdoor welding project.....go figure. Its pretty standard I used the Workhorse 1975, Mill Scale 94, and Franklin Pits for ideas and inspiration. I've been fine tuning it the last couple weekends and today it's time for Beef Ribs.

I have a water pan on the shelf and a ThermoWorks Signals unit reading temps
Burning local Oak and Pecan splits that I chopped up to the perfect size.
Two plates of prime beef ribs with a mustard binder and Salt&Pepper.
Cooking at 280-285* or at least that's the goal hahahahaha

One fine build Mike!

That’s a fine looking cooker!!!

How’d she run?

 

[PullinPork]

Excellent job! I’m impressed that your Lincoln could weld that.
Looking forward to some cook pics

That smoker is certainly one to be proud of. Those beef ribs are going to taste so much better knowing they came off of something you built.

Beautiful pit, I love that finish.

That's better than some professionally built cookers I've seen. Nice work!

Curious how much that cost you in materials.

That’s really nice. You did amazing work especially since you’ve never welded before

Awesome job on that pit and you were able to a new welder to boot. So how many firends have put in their order. Something for sure to be proud of.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. This project gave me something to be focused on outside of the rest of the world, and for that it's priceless. I never really kept track of how much I spent on it. Plus I bought a bunch of cool tools to build it.

PullinPork, yep I'm surprised it welded it too. There were several areas I had to make multi pass welds, but I knew the limitations of that machine. I had to run it maxed out most of the time. And that's when I learned what a Duty Cycle was..... that Lincoln has a 30% duty cycle that slowed me down for sure. In the end I got OK at welding, lots of Youtube lessons.

SweetHeatBBQnSC The finish is Boiled Linseed Oil. It kinda gives it a patina look while sealing the poors of the metal

Here's a couple pics before I wrapped them in pink butcher paper.
