I think I want one of these. But not for $500.00

Barbarian, can you get me a hook up with a winery up your way?

Smokin Turkey · 08-31-2008, 07:27 PM

Thats crazy sweet! I think you would have to keep it well oiled if you don't want to problem another forum poster talked about with the drying out and the air leaks. sweet idea though!

mbshop · 08-31-2008, 07:34 PM

nice. rather well thought out. nothing cheap or junkie about that. i can see the price but just not for me.

It's pretty cool. Not sure about how long it would last. Wonder if you could slip it over a UDS? That would be really cool to use it as a cover.

Would be cool to take a 35 gallon drum cut it and taper a cut down 55 and weld it for a liner. Could be removed to clean. Man if I only had a wine barrel and no backlog of projects.

I don't know the difference but I bought a full Whiskey barrel from Home Depot. Not full of Whiskey! I usually get 1/2 barrel's for planters. Think it was like $50.00 bucks.

OK brain rattling in my skull like a BB in a shoe box. How about a large ceramic flower pot down in bottom, hole bored in barrel and pot with old rustic "Tap looking valve for air intake.

I think it's cool, and could lend some very interesting flavors, compared to steel ... and it's a better insulator.

if he can do one "in a day or two" and a used barrel runs around $85, he's charging a pretty penny for his time and ingenuity.

I think a good proper seasoning/curing process would be important, but a flare up could spell disaster as well.

cool idea though.

The first thought I had was the time I didn't shut my UDS down all the way and suddenly the temp was 400+ degrees...

That would be a big time oops with this one.

BBQ Grail · 08-31-2008, 11:35 PM

Okay, what are your thoughts on exhaust and intakes. There doesn't appear to be any.

I see a hole or two in the side.

Qcrue2U · 09-01-2008, 01:56 AM

Yea, it almost looks like the 1 air hole I see, is below the water bowl and grate!!

Beerwolf · 09-01-2008, 02:05 AM

Im pretty far from being a wine snob... but arent those things a little stained after having wine sit in them for a year or 2? ( I realize it was probably white wine, but I dont really see any discoloration on the inside. Ive dealt with milling old wine tank stock for other applications, the aroma is fantastic! If you are going to that much work with a barrel, get one that has had RED wine in it; it will drive the neighbors crazy.

I figured it out. That's the bung hole.

I'm picking up two wine barrels tomorrow for $50.00. Will starting figuring stuff out, but this will have to be a Spring time project.
