“The BBQ Pit Engineer”™️
I've been building BBQ Smokers as a hobby and business for over 13 years as of 2023.
I have a strong background in the Refrigeration, HVAC, and Food Equipment Industry. For the last 28 years I have made a living with temperature control, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer in many applications in the real world.
My passion, SmokerBuilder, was founded in 2010 with a small blog and a shop full of tools.
My mission was, and still is, to "Teach people to build a smoker".
Since then, I've published over 200 sets of smoker plans, designed and manufactured a vast array of parts, smokers, and grills for DIY smoker builders, ecommerce companies, smoker manufacturers, as well as our own product lines, and produced in person and online courses teaching fabrication.
Here's a few of the many frustrations people face when trying to decide to build or buy their new smoker. If any of this sounds familiar to you then you are in the right place and I am here to help you!
"Had my reverse flow smoker built by Frank and his team 3 years ago and the qualty of work and attention to detail is A1! The smoker works great and holds temp even in cold weather. Had it custom fit with off road package recently; it it looks and works great! I would highly recommend SmokerBuilder and Legend Smokers to everyone!"
"Frank provided me with a custom 500 gallon reverse flow smoker to fit on my 30 foot BBQ rig! Not only did he design the smoker but he personally drove it to the build location to assist with and oversee that the installation was seamless! In the market for a large model like mine or a backyard offset Frank is the guy!"
"The knowledge and experience I have gained while learning from Frank Cox and the SmokerBuilder community has been absolutely invaluable in my journey. I have several of Frank's sets of plans and they are incredibly detailed and comprehensive, I think they're worth EVERY penny if you're new to design and building. Even experienced builders could benefit from the time savings and accuracy in those plans! Frank's decades of experience and his selfless contributions to the BBQ and smoking community make SmokerBuilder websites and forums some of the best resources you could find if you're looking to build your own smoker!"
The SmokerBuilder Podcast is about things like the technical side of designing and manufacturing smokers and grills, fire management, and cooking great BBQ!
