Skidder- just curious, why do you have a rotisserie?

Because he can!

Nice rig! :biggrin:

Skidder · Jul 28, 2009

Yup cause it fits and I can. Other than that using a rotisserie does tend to make things a bit moister.

Nice lookin' smoker. Nothing like a little drippings on the barrel to let everyone know that it has "show and GO!! I can see putting three racks on there with that extension. We thought of a rotisserie for doing a wild turkey but I didn't have room on my barrel. What did you use the rotisserie for?

If you ever have a chance to eat a Turkey that has been slow cooked on a rotisserie, you will remember it forever as the best turkey you have ever eaten. Even the legs will be moist :grin::grin::grin: :!:

Some new family members

A couple of things still need to be done on the UDS and TG but they're almost finished.
Didn't want to post pics untill they were REALLY done but heck....
Scored some lil' barrels today and I wanted to take a family picture,unfortunatly I think I'm gonna ditch the 2 light grey ones 'cause they have some plastic gunk on the bottom.
The rest looks ok.

Nice looking drums Phubar!

Phubar · Jul 29, 2009

Thanx Rich.
It probably doesn't take long to get em dirty.

Mark · Jul 29, 2009

You do good work Phubar. Was that a computer table?

Phubar · Jul 29, 2009

Thanks Mark,that was a computer table indeed.
Found it next to my house sitting there and rotting.
I chopped the top part off and shortened the table part so the barrel could rest on it.
Gonna paint it black,mount a little piece of wood for a table,a handle so I can push and maybe change the wheels.

Mark · Jul 29, 2009

Yup; needs a plank shelf. The wheels look more than adequate; unless you plan on taking the rig off-road alot.

Phubar · Jul 29, 2009

Plank shelf,that's what I meant.
You can see on the previous page how easily I can mount it with the wholes being there allready.
As for the wheels,you're right.
Probably I'm gonna use this for in my own garden or on the schoolyard that's behind it.
If I'm gonna take that drum elsewhere I'm gonna use picnic table legs (those tables that you can fold out when you're on holidays with a camper).
It was my first idea but I found the computer desk and could'nt leave it there.
This is from our brother Niek who's also on the same project as I.
The legs are from a picnic table I guess,you can fold it up easy for transport.

So I don't have time to go back thru all the posts........what do you guys use to run your digital meat probe into the smoker? Just under the lid, or will it then leak too much?

Mark · Jul 29, 2009

Niek's foldable/portable design is very practical. No reason it couldn't have a removable plank shelf too.

I drilled a hold in the side of mine and fed the probe through. You won't have a problem with leaking as long as you have a good exhaust on your lid.

Skidder · Jul 29, 2009

Westernhunter just look a page or two back at my smoker. I use aluminum cable clamps. There cheap and you can run a few probes through them.

Very practical.
I'll tell him about the plank shelf if he didn't allready came up with it.
Brother Skidder showed some cool hinges on the previous page that'll mayby work on Niek's idea.

westernhunter · Jul 29, 2009

Skidder,

Sent you a PM. I did a search for cable clamps, and not seeing what you are running your probe through. I just come up with the clamps that hold wires and have a hole to put a screw through. Yours looks more like some sort of aluminum grommet.

Where can I find those?
