Great Build! I To Know The Struggles of Redesigning a BBQ Pit, Definitely Not as Easy as it Looks. Came Out Looking Perfect!

Oh man a Desperado Renaissance Festival when the weather is cooler would be hilariously awesome! Have ancient pointy pewpew range for bows and crossbows, and there's already a great field for jousting.

Speaking of the lighter incident, i notice that the firebox is going to be much closer the the trailer tires... You might want to consider boxing in the back of the wheel wells to provide a heat shield for your rubber.

Keep up the great work and thank you for the years of entertainment!

You gotta keep Mikey in all your videos. He’s one of the highlights of your channel. Always puts a smile on my face when I see both you and him into some shenanigans. It’s been a tough year, so any smiles are heartfelt.

Hey Matt, your welding is getting loads better. Your brother Mark would be proud of your progress.

Matt, the smoker is looking much better. May I suggest spring wraps around the fire box handles. They can save you a lot of burnt fingers.
Looking forward to more episodes from the Desperado Ranch.

I am so proud of the flag being flown in honor of Demolitia! And every time you weld I think of Mark. Your daddy sure taught you boys well, he taught you to tackle anything.

Matt one of the best and easiest thing you can do is get you a roll of seal for your lids . You can find it online . When we start having problems with the fluctuations of temperatures we check the seals and replace and make sure it is in place .Another easy thing is check your stack and make sure it is not getting cloged up .Me and my hubby love to use our smoker and after making these adjustments we had no problems .

Mikey climbing into that greasy smoker was full dedication to the job. Can't ask for anything else from a good friend.

We took train to San Antonio from upstate NY 3 yrs ago, it took 2 days, but it was a great trip. Seeing the back yard of America all the way. Headed to San Antonio in Oct., lost count of San Antonio visits. Bunker Branding here we come.

I hope Matt shares with the original builder of his smoker what changes he made and how so the guy can modify his builds too! Sounded like he was a nice DIYer that would be nice to support.

[chrisbrum]

Applaud you for doing it yourself! Bigger smoker you can build yourself.

[justsomeguy]

"He just went for it" is Mikey's moto. That should be a T-shirt!

[andrewcoulter]

Mikey is definitely a go getter !! love your work guys !!

[starofgracebbq]

7:37 I saw Mikey again!!! We love him!!
Can we have an episode with a Mikey Q&A?
Who is Mikey??🤔🤔
How did you meet?
What all does he do for the demo team?

Hey Matt, my buddy and me also build a smoker out of an old storage tank we cut of one of the rounded sides and lowered it to about halfway and reattached it with a metal plate covering the upper half, it gives it a really slick design!

[Arcturuseyes]

A debrief after an event is a good idea, you find out what went well or what needs improvement from all the team members, and share cool stories from the event, it'll help for the future.

[CoryHannem]

Haha “Iil lammy didn’t make it” as he pans over to the smoker I was waiting for the joke there

[Suko]

Matt it’s always good to see how happy you are after your events bc it’s clear how nervous you get in videos before them

[TuscanyFTX]

Matt, I have been welding and fabricating for nearly 25 years, a lot of that has been in pipe fitting and fabrication like what you are doing in this video. Kudos to you bro. Well done. I built a 500 gallon offset on a trailer and have it here in swfl. It even survived 5 acacia trees falling on it during hurricane Ian in 2022. Split the wood up and used it for cooking wood. It’s my favorite wood to cook with.

If you want some help from someone with some know how, or just another point of view from a serious bbq’r/fabricator, reach out. I’d love to help anyway I could.
