    Bell Fabrications Smoker

    After years of using charcoal smokers I finally pulled the trigger and decided to go with a good backyard offset smoker. After thorough research I was just about to buy a 20" Horizon when I stumbled across a YouTube video that mentioned a pit builder based out of Tulsa, OK. I live in Oklahoma so being able to pick up my pit from the manufacturer saves me hundreds of dollars on shipping costs. I immediately found the website and spoke with the owner, Craig Bell, who is super nice. I told him what I wanted and he put me on the waiting list (8-10 weeks). I'm getting a 24" x 48" with a 24" firebox, all 3/8" thick fully welded steel for $1200. That's a steal compared to any competitor (that only uses 1/4" steel mind you) who's rigs cost 3 to 4 times more for a comparable size. The pics I uploaded are just stock photos. I'm having mine built with a single cook chamber door with counterweight and wood rack below. Does anyone else here own a Bell Fab that can give some input? 8 weeks can't come soon enough and I'll update you guys with pics of the finished product. ​ ​

                  Sweetness!!

                  I'd opt for 1/4" or even 3/16" like a Jambo. Save some weight for my flacco self..

                      MCS, when the trigger finger gets itchy. Good on you. Happy for you.
                      Live long and BBQ.

                        Whoa! That’s a steel steal! I too got mine from a local fabricator, but I visited him in person before I pulled the trigger. Mine is the exact same dimensions (but paid a little more than you). Even still, I bet you and I could sell the smoker for what we paid (seems underpriced, but hey, good on us?).

                            All 3/8" steel? How are you going to move that thing?
