Custom smoker my students built at Texas State

A group of my students built this pit this last year at Texas State. Excellent job. Just thought I would show off their work.

very nice..

Thanks. They built it for their student organization. Kind of a senior "we were here" project. Pit should be around for ages.

I want one!

Lots of hours, material, and sweat.

Nice

Like to have that in my back yard very nice

X2

nice

that is sweet!

You dont realize how much of a beast it is until you cook on it the first time. We broke it in by cooking a about 20 pork chops. Needless to say, we barely used one shelf in the tower. Looking to smoke some briskets for the holidays as a fundraiser.

Very nice job on that pit. That will be serving the alumni for a long time. They should have added Class of 2012 on it somewhere.

They did weld their initials on the back of the smoker body. I am going to get a stainless steel plaque made one day.

Very nice!!!

Hope you gave them an A for that work well done!

Very nice!

Awesome

looks good

Very nice!!!

EAT'EM UP KATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heck of a pit, very nice.

that thing looks like a beast... nice pit

They will be remembered after they have grown and went their seperate ways, good reason for them to come back annually for a get together reunion. Nice work.

Dont forget the turkeys for the holiday fundraiser, put me in for two.

I have been thinking about building one like that for a while now. I want a big pit that I can take places if I want but Lord knows I dont need another trailer registration!

I am going to build one like that on skids and be able to just winch it onto my flatbed to use it as a mobile pit or winch it off like in the picture and just use it at the house or ranch.

Nice build I like it.

Very nice indeed. Pretty small baffle for a box that size, but should do.

We never did any projects like that when I was there.

Very Nice job. Like the looks of counter weights. Got any inside pictures and counterweights.?

I can post some. The inside is made out of 1/2" hot rolled round stock with a 1/2" spacing between them. Maybe this fall we will add a half rack about it. Will get pics today.

Like the Skids!

Thanks. Figured if it was on skids, less folks would or could want to borrow it. One day it will get a trailer. Til then, it will go on the car hauler.

Dang nice pit! Wish I would have taken one of your classes when I was there! lol

Eat 'Em Up, Cats

NICE

We build all kind of things. Students have their pick if they want to pay for it. Other than that, we build for customers. Have done all kinds of things. Trailers, pits, deer feeders, etc.

Very nice birddog..........I see you guys working back there every once in a while when replacing street signs in that area etc..........Go Cats!!!!!!!!!!

That's awesome. I'll keep an eye out for it when I visit campus!

Super nice. Love the 3 doors. That will accommodate many types of meats.

You are a lucky man

Looks like it will cook!

The only regret I have with it is the use of an old propane tank for the large cooking pit. The wall thickness wasnt as thick as Schedule 40 pipe and sprund a little when cutting the doors out with a plasma cutter.

Kids did good.

Great lookin pit

LIKE, LIKE, LIKE.... I teach ag mech at a school north of you. We build some pits every now and then too. May have to steal some ideas from y'alls pit.

That's one HEAVY mofo!

Awesome...

Sweet!

Nice work! Time to season it up

Fire it up!!!

That's nice
