    Bringing Life to an Old Grill: Advice needed

    Is your wife to be OK with the idea of a restoration (not because you talked her into it) I would go so far as give her time to think about it, as whatever you do most likely will not be able to be undone.. that said, my parents used to have an old electric stove that was that color, like a...

    first brine - question

    I usually do that on feel, usually, 12-24 hours for big things is pretty realistic, if its a thin piece like chicken breasts or ribs, even 4-6 hours is a big difference, for roast sized hunks (butts, brisket, etc.)I usually go with under 4lbs its 12 hours, over 4lbs its 24.. but you can always...

    first brine - question

    "A good rule of thumb (that you can take with a pinch of salt - kidding!) is: a teaspoon of table salt weighs about 6 grams; a teaspoon of kosher salt weighs about 5.4 grams; and a teaspoon of sea salt weighs about 4.8 grams." nipped from http://www.philly.com/dailynews/colu...t_sodium_.html...

    brinkmann Square Vertical

    I wanted to add for Luv2Camp or anyone else with a BSV, I found a decent set of 13.5x13.5 grates if you want to add an extra one to yours, they are only $2.50. shipping for 3 of those and a 2 pizza screens was only $7.50, so you know 1 would be under $10. they are a fine wire mesh, but they seem...

    cutting the lips on the drum

    no plasma cutters here, been considering one, but a sawzall, metal saw, and grinders are sooo much cheaper, and if I bought one, all I'd want to do is cut stuff.

    cutting the lips on the drum

    speaking of pictures, for clarification, this is a simple simple example, but it might help understand what I'm asking. thnx

    cutting the lips on the drum

    I was going to weld 3/4"x3/4"x1/8" or so angle all the way around both sides, since it would be all relatively straight cuts (no barrel curves), depending on how the stove rope compresses, I will gap it so I could get good even lines, but also a really good seal. the angle would also more than...

    I'm sorry equipment, I cheated - caved bad!

    man, I hope things get turned around for her, and you, I'll keep you in my prayers, if anyone gives you any guff about not making any, take them off your "people I give sausage to" list and don't look back. I put my family ahead of flavor anytime, but its a tough call sometimes.

    cutting the lips on the drum

    I'm working on a horizontal drum smoker plan, for the door I was thinking about cutting through the top and bottom lips and making a straight line between them, so the door opening will be on the "sides" of the smoker, not the "front". my reason for considering this would be the lip would give...

    How much would you pay for a steel drum?

    if he's willing to deliver 10, he's willing to deliver 2-3 for money to one house, 30 mins away should be 25 bucks, thats $15 for gas and $10 for his hour of time, fair deal IMO

    What's your occupation?

    I'm a part time truck driver, I work 7-9 days then off 7 days, I love getting to spend 6 months of the year raising my kid. plus it means I get to Q when my neighbors are working, hehe. I used to be a loan officer, and I went to college for computers, but the simple life has its benefits.

    Reverse flow specs ????

    the reason reverse flow evens the temps across the cooker is because the heat warms the plate below the grill, this transfers heat up through the plate, the smoke and heat then come around the plate at the far end, coming back towards the fire box and up the stacks, the air is starting to cool...

    VHT flame proof coatings?

    it lives under a cover, fyi there are different types of stainless(I can think of 10), and the ones with higher carbon can get rust spots, just like good kitchen cutlery. good to know about the temps being a problem though, perhaps I will only clean up the painted metal parts, as those are not...

    Reverse flow specs ????

    welding isn't cheap, the cost of welding it up with you providing cut parts will probably buy you a reasonable welder.. the problem you face is then spending more money learning. that may be worthwhile if you are a tinkerer like me. IMO, best advice, talk to some guys you work with, most people...

    My Allowance!

    looks good, needs some love, but thats the nature of it. any plans to mod it beyond the basic repairs needed??

    VHT flame proof coatings?

    inside is oil seasoned, will always be, meaning no paint, outside needs beautification/protection from future rusting, I forgot to point out, I only have to pay for paint and sand, I already own sandblasting equipment. though I will probably clean the inside and re-season the walls just to keep...
