Last year at the UK SMF Smokers weekend, steve johnson steve johnson brought along this small clay cooking stove,similar to this.



And I was intrigued. Then this week on TV, a UK chef was cooking kabobs in Greece with a similar type unit.

There is a European manufacturer making a Stailess Steel version.


But didn't want to pay the £80.00 for one, so looking in the workshop, came across some of my empty refrigerant cylinders.

Removed valve, marked round cylinder and cut with a grinder.

Cut the top off along the line off the carry handle, Spot welded a base on to it, and welded a plate onto the back.




Drilled 8 10mm holes in the base to give air flow, cut a square of stainless steel mesh to cover bottom to allow ash to fall through.

Cut some of the same mesh, welded a handle on it to make a cooking rack.



Went for the first cook with some Sirloin.


 
Cool man its great when you can improvise and use what you have to make things. Saved a lot of $$$ (American) to spend on them awesome looking steaks.

Don't like spending money when you can improvise! Would love to say I spent the money on the Steaks, but truth be told, a butcher customer of mine gave them to me. They taste even better when they are Free!!!

About the only better would be if he cooked them too.
