Was that a build? :becky:
op2:op2:

You taught him well didn't you Tom! Lol

 

[Fwismoker]

I like it. Fast simple and it works. One thing, I do miss, Manards, don't have them down here. Much better than the orange guys.

I love their BBQ section, cheaper stuff and largely off brand but great selections and deals!

***update***plus first chicken cook***

Intake vents. 4 of them.

Thats enough for one night. Elbows tomorrow?



Got a load of wood delivered tonight.

Note to self: dont buy wood from shady characters off of Craigslist after dark.



Time to put the bird barrel to its real purpose. Lets do some cooking.

Yardbird tied, mayo'ed, and seasoned with tony Cs




Weige is eyeing the chicken.



Progress



After the rest







After i get around to finishing the intakes i can build the fire basket with the expanded metal i picked up the other day.



So far this has been a pretty fun build.

That looks absolutely TERRIBLE! Don't harm yourself, I'll swing up North and take it off your hands.

Your right.
Smitty was right too.

It cooks so fast everything that comes off of it tastes like it was made in a microwave.

This is no good. I blame you

Wrap it in foil, set it outside your door and I'll snatch it up. I'll be quick because I don't want any animals getting into it and getting sick. :becky:

Glad to see you didn't over work yourself on such a fine and laborious build

New mod

Back at it.











Introducing the Turkey Mod
















This was part of a post thanksgiving dinner for some family. Besides the bird we made homemade stuffing (first ever), mac & cheese, mashed taters, tater salad, cranberries, carrots, gravy and 2 kinds of pie. Everything was homemade as best we could.

 

[Fwismoker]

Sorry it's not working out for you Steve. I hope next years will be better and the other food today partially made up for the turkey!

Ill just have to keep modding it until i get it right

I'd trash the whole build, its not worth ruining more food....besides you have a microwave in your kitchen alrwady.

 

[dwfisk]

Well, I'd eat that bird any day of the week.

Looks to me like your roto ring in smaller in diameter then your drum, or is it just optics! If it is real, that's something we could fix with another enhancement or two:wink:

 

[Roguejim]

Did you load a single load of wood?

 

[Fwismoker]

Did you load a single load of wood?
