I’m not done with the smoker, I enjoy it very much, but it’s a little much money for the plan for what I use it.
The reality is I have not installed the spring handle yet because it won't stop raining long enough to get it welded in place. My Pa taught me electric welding in the rain or other wet conditions not great idea! So I wait.
I try to refrain from reviewing stuff right after I get it. Tested these two gauges a little. They are in total agreement, with in 5-10 degrees. Also tested in comparison to my digital Thermoworks ambient probe and again within a few degrees of each other, so not bad. I will gladly report back later if given the opportunity after a more thorough multi session torture test.
My elliptical end cap is 10 inches from the weld. So I have to shrink everything down a little bit to make it work. There is no info on the smaller barrel tank included in the plans. Other than that these plans are awesome.
I was wondering how I was going to make the handles on the doors of the offset smoker I’m building and then I found your website. I can’t build the handles as cheap as you’re selling them! They are very high quality and heavy duty. Much better than I expected and the price is right!!!! I’ll buy from you again if CB I need anything!!!

Love the plans I have followed closely and have almost completed my build using the plans, found a few things I have questioned and gotten answers fast and with plenty of information to make any build easy!
let me start by saying customer service is by far the best I have ever had. they called me to let me know that the hinge set that I ordered was on back order and would take about 2 weeks to fill and I could go with another hinge set if i wanted to. Thank you for that. I decided to wait for the ones I ordered because I am not going to start my build untill I have everything I need for the build of my 250 gallon offset
I’m going to make this short and to the point. As far as I can find, Smoker Plans by Smoker Builder has the best plans and the best service period! Call them with a question and they answer the phone. They answer your questions and give you helpful advice. You can actually schedule a one on one virtual conference to give you advice and help you with your build. I’m a very happy customer and will be purchasing more plans.
The plans are ok but they had no hinge designs, or cooking grates. When I called they sent me grate design for a different size cooker. I just feel that I paid full price for a lesser print.
Have only looked thru the plans , they seem to be straight forward , easy to understand . I am looking forward to beginning my build , have limited income and time so will be a while getting it completed . Thanks for the plans . I am gathering the required materials and trying to get my A - Frame up and operational .
Whilst the DXF CNC file was extremly helpfull, there is one piece missing. The Fire Box door, As it is refrenced in the fabrication drawing to "save the cut out in from the FB" the door isnt included in the cut plan. Resulting in adding the piece afterwards.
I will be using these plans , they’re going to make it easier to build the pit I want. Frank, YOU THE MAN !!
