    Here is what I am building

    Yeah I will try again maybe this weekend.  When I built up the fridge I put a lamp in it to dry some stuff out and it shot up to almost 180F, so I am thinking of just installing a small incadescent bulb in the bottom to help heat things up a little bit.  I used the following recipe and the fish...

    Here is what I am building

    Well since I have started this thread I simplified quite a bit.  Just using a Hair medium sized fridge that is mounted to the top of a mini microwave.  The mini microwave is rotated 90 degrees in relation to the fridge which helped in getting a 1.5" PVC pipe that goes up through the top of the...

    My masterbuilt 7 in 1 replacement

    Well I have used it a couple weekends now.  It works perfectly, better than I expected.  No grease falls through the bottom.  It prevents flare up nicely, and cooks great.  Does a great job at smoking also.  Easy to clean. If I can get solidworks back up and running on my workstation then I...

    My masterbuilt 7 in 1 replacement

    I am actually more worried about the seasoning or preparation of this BBQ.  It was a kerosene barrel and then all the parts that are being welded into it are steel bar stock that is pickled in oil. Is cranking it up a couple times then washing it out, and then re-cranking it good enough or...

    My masterbuilt 7 in 1 replacement

    Any comments on smoking tips?  Or should I just go get some chips and give it a try.

    My masterbuilt 7 in 1 replacement

    I am almost done building this portable BBQ/smoker. I wanted something I could BBQ easily with propane on my camp chef.  But I also wanted to be able to smoke things, use briquettes, and also put my dutch ovens in it.  I modeled it all up in solidworks and created 2D mfg drawings so that I can...

    build of UDS

    So I got my mini fridge, microwave, and computer case for my cold smoking build. Also have a open top barrell, and just Friday found a really nice weber grill, so I am officially kicking off my UDS project. The barrell was used for WVO collection .... it should be okay right?

    Food for two guys for 15 days

    this is great .... thanks so much for the comments and concerns ..... I still might play around with doing some smoked and dried meats, then do some packaging ideas with dry ice and custom made packaging to see how long I can keep things cold.  Heating packs using salt water is a really great...

    Food for two guys for 15 days

    Afraid not.  Not a-lot of space or power on the SC 27.  Between our auto pilot, light, weather fax, laptop, & instruments we have to manage power very closely.  We have a solar panel on the back of the boat that should give a bit of a charge each day.  But we have a spreadsheet put together that...

    barrel smoker from instructables.com

    I searched and didn't see something similar to this so figured I would share.  In the process of building a cold smoker to go in my shed, but would definetely consider building one of these and get rid of the ducane stainless unit. http://www.instructables.com/id/Ultimate-Ugly-Drum-Smoker/
