    Let the restoration commence (enterprise stuffer)

    I hope so. finally got my blasting setup tuned the way i like it - the aftercooler i installed on my compressor is working like a charm. 303F at the compressor, cooled to 77f before going into the water filter.

    The barrel is going to be the biggest difficulty prepping this for powder coating. Also, does anyone know what the particular casting numbers mean? On the arch is 2092, the small plate is 6550, the large plate is 6841, etc. all of the gears will be polished- there’s a lot of casting flaws to be...

    First group of pieces blasted. The gear piece will be polished. Lots of casting flaws present. Since I’ll be using a plastic press piece the plates will be powder coated. The juicing grid may be normally seasoned. Haven’t decided yet.

    ‘Barrel’ half done, Grill wouldn’t close so I let it cook off what it could in there then into the house oven at 550- less smoke and def getting all the old grease and seasoning carbonized out.

    got the whole thing soaked in easy-off, then ran the parts thru a dishwasher cycle before roasting them on my bbq grill to get rid of any leftover grease/baked on crud. The lard basket is probably a total loss, the handles were soldered on no-doubt with lead based solder. They fell off.

    That’s kind of what I was thinking. Going to use oven cleaner on it first to get it greased then consider whether or not I want to media blast it… Powder coating the exterior surfaces is definitely in the works

    Picked up this enterprise stuffer/lard press/fruit press about two years ago. Apparently it was a one-owner family and they had what I’m guessing is all the original parts and accessories.. finally got the lard/fruit sieve out and the unit apart. Going to be a lot of work. May have parts hot...

    Yesterday was the first cook - two pork butts. Started out using the amaze-n tube with pellets for the flavor. Didn't produce the amount that i was expecting, so, enter a stainless steel colander 3/4 full of pellets lit in 3 places and set to smolder just like that amaze-n. Produced and amount...

    Warming Cabinet Build

    For all intents and purposes, the smoker conversion is complete! Attached are a few videos about the controller and the final test. Next is cladding the outside with wood siding to make it look rustic. The door seal was already rated for 325F according to the manufacturer so for using at 250 and...

    The manufacturer said it’s in the bottom and a band about 2/3rds of the way up.
