    My first RF Piggy

    I'm trying to imagine how my kids would react. It could go either way really. When my son was around 1 he was present for a lamb roast tho, whole lamb on a spit in a Greek friend's yard. How long is that piggy? I think I could fit something like that in the smoker I'm building, 22lbs certainly...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    This weekend I was able to get the rf plate welded in with the drain pipe. And have the door flanges tacked into place. Not as much as I'd hoped but still making progress. The end is in sight I think. It was interesting doing the flanges along the hinge side. Had to cut three pieces and...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    So I cleaned out the ashes from burning it out last night and hit the inside with the grinder and brass brush wheel. Cleaned it up nice. None of the original junk, goop, rust, etc anymore. But it did leave the "patina" on the steel. Do I need to get it down to brand new white metal or is a...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Got the rest of the materials I need (as far as I know... ha!) Have enough to build 2 cook racks, the RF plate and the door flange. Already have enough materials at home for the frame/stand.  Pretty pumped! ETA: I couldn't find any 1/4" plate in town for my RF plate (at least anything that...

    Patio Sized RF

    What size stock was used to frame the cook racks?

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    So I'm probably not going to have this ready for my first competition, as I'd be setting up this evening after work and starting tomorrow morning... haha oh well. I do think I can have it ready for cooking by the end of the weekend tho, provided I can find the rest of the materials I need today.

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Well I only burned out the CC tonight. I'll have to do another burn when the RF plate and cook rack(s) is done. I figure I'll need to do some test burns before I think about cooking anyway so I'll handle it then. Then season and cook. :) Going to try to track down the materials for the RF plate...

    Well she's burning. Interesting to see how the chimney and air intakes affect things. Hope nothing warps. Heh

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    So how worried do I need to be about getting things too hot/warping when burning this thing out tonight? How long do I let it burn for, how do I know it's "done"? Do I need to burn out the fire box too? (it's all new steel)

    Scuba tank mini reverse flow - first build

    I just cut my chimney hole on the weekend and broke a drill. It still works, but whatever the mechanism is that changes it from straight drill to hammer drill let go as soon as the hole saw touched the tank... still works as a straight drill with a bit more noise. I really took my time after...

    Finished cutting the door when I stopped at my parents to pick up my kids. A new blade works wonders.

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Oh this is my first one. Was originally planning on getting a 250l tank but it didn't pan out.

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    I haven't decided on a seal yet, was planning to wait and see if it was necessary. How wide would be required for that? I've never seen the type of seal before.

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    I've got about a 1/16" cut around the door so figure 1" should be plenty wide to cover that and would have an appropriate scale for my cooker, but am always open to suggestions.  I was on the fence between 1/8" and 3/16" thick tho...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Here's a question. For the strapping around the CC door, what width/thickness is recommended? I think 1/4" thick is a bit much, I was thinking 1"x1/8" but is that heavy enough to catch the door for years?
