    Vintage Hobart Slicer Restoration

    Thanks Lance, I plan to keep it on the microwave cart in the first photos. I just need to add some lockable casters to it.

    Vintage Hobart Slicer Restoration

    OK Friends, it's been a long weekend. So many things to get done in two days. First I started building this retaining wall so that I can get the level part of my yard closer to the woods. Now I need dirt! Some day I'll build a proper work shop out there, in the mean time no more chasing balls...

    That there's why they call me Bubbonehead!

    Excellent! Congratulations! I'm sure your smoker will make you smile over and over again.

    There shouldn't have been a coating in there in the first place. Are you sure that it's not just build up from use? Knock a piece off and look at it close.

    warping question

    Good, the water will help with the heat issue. That's how I cut mine also. To keep as much water in the tank as long as possible, Make both cuts in steps alternating from one to the other every few inches. Don't forget to put dish soap in the water when you fill it to help displace any gas. As...

    warping question

    I don't see that being a problem. I did the same thing to a 250 gallon tank when I built mine. The only way that it would change once it's cut would be if it got damaged during that time. The warping that does occur when cutting these tanks is a combination of two things, the most obvious being...

    Thanks Pops! I have a pair of cut resistant gloves like that but mine have little rubber bumps on them for improved grip. Unfortunately the parts that I need are no longer available from Hobart. I was able to download the manual though. I guess I better get back to work on it. I don't want to...

    HELP - Smoking a Pork Shoulder and my grill Temp fell to 130-150 degrees overnight.

    Now that is what I love about this forum! The accumulated knowledge always impresses me without a doubt, but the willingness to help a brother out is what sets this group of people apart! Don't forget to let us know how it turns out.

    HELP - Smoking a Pork Shoulder and my grill Temp fell to 130-150 degrees overnight.

    If we were talking about pulling the meat now to eat, then microbial growth would be an issue. However continuing to cook until you reach that magic internal temperature will kill any bacteria. That's what I remember from a food safety class I took years ago. Maybe one of the pro chefs could...

    HELP - Smoking a Pork Shoulder and my grill Temp fell to 130-150 degrees overnight.

    I say yes but if getting the heat back up produces a lot of thick smoke, remove the meat or wrap in foil until you get back to the thin blue smoke. Or you could finish it in the oven. That's my two cents anyway. Good luck.

    Vintage Hobart Slicer Restoration

    I gave up trying to find the OEM sharpener. I bought one for a newer model in hopes of being able to figure out how to make it work for me. The geometry of the two slicers is different enough that I soon realized this wasn't going to be easy. I decided my best bet was to rig something up using...

    Ditto on what Bruno said, top of the FB even with the plate. Here's how I did mine. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/112476/i-love-bbq-ive-got-some-tools-i-kinda-have-to-build-one-dont-i Think of it this way, the heat (thermal energy) from the fire is what you want to use to cook. To get the...
