I am a Northerner. This is all new to me. Thanks Tim for making such a great and useful video. My neighbor and I are going to build one and let you know. Can we buy your sauce from you?

[CookingOutdoors]

Great how-to video! I learned a lot, thank you!

[brwilli6]

any idea where I can find a steel grate like you've got there?

[BanjoBillGreen]

@brwilli6 Search on line or ask locally for 'mezzanine grating." It's a standard product. You want some standard size in steel.

[BanjoBillGreen]

@BanjoBillGreen I just noticed I've got a nice-size piece in my house. It's a gas floor furnace grate that now covers a central heat intake. It's the kind of grating used on fire escapes and over holes people walk over.

@BanjoBillGreen

thanks buddy! yeah I recognize it as the furnace grate that used to be in my old house. I'll start looking today! Super video. I really enjoyed it!

[brwilli6]

this is great! we're cooking a whole hog at my house in a few weeks and I'm gonna use your pit design. thanks!!

You have my mouth watering! I have to try this method, thanks for sharing!

What kind of wood did you start with? Looks like white oak.

Thanks

[BanjoBillGreen]

@shadowdog500 It's scrap oak flooring, rejects from a local plant. Tim says that if you burn it down to coals as indicated, almost any hardwood will work.

Finally a good video about traditional BBQ. Very well done, Tim, and thank you. I have cooked BBQ about any way you can imagine, but the good stuff is done in a block or brick pit, and the coals are shoveled in. Your Grandfather was right.
