Just got a message from FatStack about availability:
Great video Jeremy, and thanks for the amazing feedback 🙏🤯🍖 Hey everybody we’re taking pre-orders for these models and would be happy to help-call 213.290.5096 or email info@fatstacksmokers.com to get started!
Does Made In make China? Is Made In China made in America?
Unfortunately, Fatstack took people's money and ran with it. I'm wondering how much in total did the owner owe people. Apparently, some did get their money back. Good luck!
Jeremy, I only recently discovered your channel and I've already learned a lot. I watched the comparison video of the three offset smokers. The Fatstacks appear to be great smokers, but I've read the comments about availability, and it might not be a good investment. Do you still have the same opinion about Fatstack and has the availability issue be resolved? What is the current price?
@MadScientistBBQ Jeremy, I only recently discovered your website and YouTube videos, and I have already learned alot. Having read some comments about the FatStack smoker, I'm interested in learning more about the resolution of availability, and if your opinion of it is still the same as in your video.
This is crap video. The guy is going out of business and can’t fulfill orders. Why would you talk about this. However he does have a snobbish attitude towards certain smokers. So don’t give him a second thought
Really sad to see what happened here! This video should be taken down before anyone else gets ripped off! Jeremy if you still have those two smokers you should give them to two of the people that got ripped off 4K. Many people ordered after watching your video. Not your fault of course!
FAT SCAM
Jeremy, I've been researching offset smokers and appreciate your content on reviews and learning from your cooking experience. Unless I am missing something, the FatStack brand and owner you are promoting here have left several consumers and possibly "Subscribers" high and dry. Not sure what the owner of FatStack situation is, but with several consumers getting scammed in what seems like a Ponzi scheme, why pimp his brand? To protect your own credibility and channel, why do you still have this video up promoting this company?
I lost my $500.00 deposit 😢
Can’t buy this anymore. What else do you recommend?
Dude you should take this video down. I don't know what happened but I see your 2023 update, and they have basically no internet presence except an article about them and some other random stuff. This video isn't really relevant now that nobody can buy them.
Bro- love, LOVE your channel and listen to every word you say. As such, Fatstack Smokers seems to no longer be a viable business. Please update your video asap before more people try to buy from them and be out a shhh ton of money. Hate to see your rep get hit by this co. Smoke, well!
What about reverse flow smokers? Are they any better than straight air flow smokers?
A lot of people lost a lot of money
This video did not age well.
Eric and FATSTACK have LITERALLY vanished into SMOKE with EVERYONES MONEY! He has stopped posting and he has stopped responding to calls and emails. He’s a crook and the fact you don’t even address this is shameful. I understand you have nothing to do with his business side of things but you have a responsibility to prevent any more of your viewers from falling victim to giving Eric any more money. I’m still a huge Mad Scientist BBQ fan but we need you to address the elephant in the room!
I ordered one two years ago as well and still nothing and now you can’t get ahold of anyone.
I bet u are glad u left L A😂😂😂
In a blacksmith forge, you light a small fire with a piece of news paper under the smoke stack before you light you coal. It starts a draft up the stack before the big smoke starts. Try lighting a small fire under the stack before you light your fire box. Not sure if it will work but worth a try.
Paid in full on Dec 1 2021. No smoker and past the deadline to get any help from the CC company. No communication from Eric in weeks. What is my recourse?
Fat Stacks has scammed multiple friends out of 10s of thousands of dollars. As of November 30, 2023 the company property has been seized, all phone lines are down and zero communication from Eric. I’m sure the whole story will be played out in court. Jeremy, you may want to consult an attorney to find out if you have any exposure. Your product endorsement over the years just might pull you into this which would be a shame. Sad the BBQ community is dealing with this in times of financial hardships.
This video led me to place an order with Fatstack, it’s been over 2 years, no smoker, out $4k, I think you should comment on that, people are still watching this video and want a smoker From Fatstack.
Your content is great regardless of the shenanigans that is going on at Fatstack.
After all the endorsement from you and other bbq-tubers for fatstacks, I'm disappointed that there hasn't been a public statement made addressing it. Many people bought them directly because of your influence, and they're out $4,000+… The owner apparently ran an inadvertent pozie scheme, and found out why taking money from john to pay paul doesn't work. Of course, it doesn't affect the 'tubers who got priority, white-glove service, who turned around and advertised them with glowing reviews.
ahhhh, a good ole sales pitch video from Jeremy " the salesman" yoder
buying an overpriced smoker does not make you a pit master. no need to waste you money on a smoker, especially from a crook.
don't waste your money and buy an overpriced smoker for 5 grand because Jeremy yoder says its the best smoker. this guy is taking orders from people when he can't fullfill and complete the job. total bum and crook. if Jeremy yoder was legit, he would take this video down. but no he won't. he's getting paid under the table and will come out and tell us he doesn't get a dime.
Fatstack is a sinking ship – https://youtu.be/ZH87nH6v30Q?si=5ZxwMbg7UrrOL_8-
have you attempted to review the Shirley fabrication 24x 36 reverse flow<?
5k for a 90 gallon tank?! That's a little steep. I understand the labor that goes into these cookers but there are other brands out there with the same features, cooking area and are 1/4" rolled steel for $2000 less.
And they actually have a nice coat of paint on them…
Eric and Fatstack are nothing but crooks. Over 400 orders and they’ve filled less than 40. Won’t do refunds. He didn’t pay his employees in Texas. This is just in poor taste to leave these videos up.
I hear fatstack is in a very bad place 😢😮.
This video should be taken down due to the issues with FS Smokers admitted by their owner in their own YT series. This company is essentially a ponzi scheme
Take this video down, the company is run by a crook. It’s all over the place how fat stacks is ripping people off
For those that are unaware. DO NOT ORDER A FATSTACKS SMOKER!!! It very well may be the best smoker in the world, but you will never find out. Hundreds of people have ordered these smokers (some with a sizeable down payment, some paid in full) and absolutely nothing in return. They are now being told by the top person at the company that Fatstacks does not have the materials to build anymore smokers nor the money to buy the materials. The comany crumbling and it appears no one is getting their money back. Things could turn around, but as of Oct. 14, 2023, this is the situation.
Jeremy really should take down both of the Fatstacks backyard smoker videos. No idea why he hasn't already.
#1 Best Brisket Method:
1. build a cabin in the woods
2. put a smoker w. 2 stacks outside
3. wait in the bushes
4. when Jeremy shows up and asks to cook briskets on it, say yes
5. Profit
BEWARE BBQ BROTHERS!!! I have been waiting 20+ months as have most Fat Stack "buyers" for what turned out to be Fat Stacks "invest in me" campaign. They have delivered very few after demanding nonrefundable payment in advance. See their Sept 1st 2023 video delivers the news they now don't have a supplier for the pipe…, I'd reconsider "buying one" until they start delivering pre funded orders en masse. Good people but their backyard BBQ business plan execution has been met with far too many setbacks.
Ordered 2 years ago and still no smoker. Paid in full and then nothing. No smoker and missed deadlines and misleading videos. Would never recommend buying from this builder.
Is the fire box insulated and how important do u think it is to be insulated?
LOVE these rigs but $5k and $6k buys a LOT of BBQ at local joints. Still! These seem like the best on the market.
Man oh man do I need something bigger. My Oklahoma Joe makes some good meat but I need twice as much space at least. Keep finding myself cooking for 20+
Im sitting here in Etown wondering how i pull a fast one on my wife and get one of these
Fatstack Smokers and Eric Wech will steal your money and will not manufacture your smoker/
So sad….a smoker I could never afford. I would love to have the small one ….oh well. Sucks to be middle income when you want to cook good BBQ LOL!
Man love to watch your cooking , can you do review of something that is not 5K not everyone can afford those smokers, something 2-3k max …
my question is are these smoker meant to stay outdoors all the time do they have to be treated
Im not a millionaire yet…
I started on a charcoal grill using indirect heat and wood chunks. Im so pumped to get my first offset. Gonna go with an old country brazos
Maybe there should be a “ Mad Scientist “ fat stack addition .
how many Briskets can you cook at 1 time on the 120
