Built in steel.
Proven by fire.
Hand-built BBQ smokers and precision metalwork from a family-run machine shop that believes in doing things right the first time.
Welchert Valley Machine & Sons is a family-owned machine shop built on craftsmanship, integrity, and pride in hard work.
Led by Trevor Welchert, the shop serves farmers, ranchers, businesses, and backyard pitmasters who need equipment they can depend on.
Whether we’re building a custom smoker, repairing farm equipment, or machining one-off parts, everything that leaves our shop is built with the same standard: it has to work, and it has to last.

Why Welchert Valley Machine & Sons?
We’re not a factory.
We’re not a reseller.
We’re a working machine shop.
Every weld, every cut, and every smoker comes from our own shop and our own hands. That means better quality, better fit, and a product you can trust.
Built for work. Built for heat. Built to last.
Let’s build something.
Whether you’re ready to order a smoker, need custom fabrication, or just have a question, we’d love to talk.
