    UK "Big Poppa" build

    Part of me wishes that I had gone with sourcing the parts and designing myself, but the BPS kit is convenient and lots of reviews state it just works! So I sourced the kit from the UK supplier once they were in stock and bought a new drum for confidence of no nasty residues. Marked it up and...

    Both lid and underneath vents are the same. The top vent seems pretty smooth but the bottom has a slightly loose feel to it but doesn't look too bad.   The grill is 52 cm in diameter so not quite as large as the Weber (except the 47 cm of course). Room for a chicken although I had real...

    I like the idea of re-hinging and using the angle bar. Had a cursory look for suitable bar but what is readily available is too thick steel or galvanised, so will keep a lookout.  For the moment I am going to use it for grilling as you say Wade until I get the materials. I may just have to make...

    It annoys me just looking at these pictures. The Smoker is a Landmann Kentucky (groan), what I now realise is basically a grill with a firebox attached. I think that I may just have to accept that I have a grill. This shows how the lid hinges on two bolts at the back and the size of the top...
