For a while I was taking off the swing grate off after a cook, then I saw mice hanging around. I guess it doesn't matter leaving it on the rod although I take the lid off. It is kind of nice just swinging away after a cook and it's ready to go next cook. Take the flat lid off, hit the partial burnt with a torch and you're up and running in minutes.

In Winter with all the snow I'll probably put it away while not in use though.

 
Thinking back this was a similar concept (although not as well put together) :icon_smile_tongue: to my first prototype when I was originally coming up with the 007 to see if the concept of the grate being above the drum a few inches with a lid would work. Shortly after testing the version 1.0 was born thanks to DW.

Tom's is definitely nicer than mine...my welding skills are not much to be desired! Still need much practice in this department.
 
$360 Delivered with the lid / handle. Lol. It's thick stainless. .9mm side walls. 1.2mm top & bottom.

Would look good with that big stainless door.

A black drum looks great for $25!

How long do these standard steel barrels last using them this way?
 
OK, I have the 007 build drawn up with dimensions for a local fabricator. I'm meeting with him tonight.

I just ordered up a Jumbo Joe from WalMart.com for the starter parts.

I can see changing out the Weber plated food grate for a stainless one pretty quickly...

Can't wait to see how it turns out! For the cook grate I have the Weber hinged in (even though it doesn't need hinged) it's definitely a good cook grate, no issues.
 
A mish mash of recent cooks here.

007 pork butt

A friend gave me a pork butt to cook how ever I wanted. Well, I haven't cooked one yet on the 007. So was planing on doing a roti. But changed my mind to try it straight on the grate over the fire. It was a 6.31lb shoulder that they had froze in the package they bought from a store. It didn't look as fresh as I typically cook ( a few brownish spots), but what the heck. Rubbed it down, got the fire going and on it went. I put a second grate under the cook grate just in case I wanted to catch some drippins. Turns out I didn't use it.

During the first 30 minutes or so, I have to keep a close eye on the fire. Cause all that fat drippings can stop a log from catching/burning as good as it should/would like. Or have a raging fire. It got to 400+ pretty quick, I shut down my intakes to bring the temp down. Got to 325* or so.

After that it is just fire tending. I averaged 300* for most of the cook.
1 hr in

This is what the bottom looked like at the 1 hr mark. Fat cap.

2 hr mark

3 hr mark

Side shot at the 3 hr mark

Decided to pan at the 3 hr mark. Just cause I have never panned one before.

Neighbor stopped by with some thin cut chops for him, sure no problem.
4 hr mark

4.5 hr mark, bone is loose.


Off the 007 and resting for pulling later/dinner.
I'll let my expert tell me how it came out cooking it this way when she gets home.
Update later :becky:
