    Gonna restore this old Globe slicer

    I was thinking the same thing. But I think my dad knows a guy who does this kind of work, so I may be able to work that connection and at least have it looked at. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Gonna restore this old Globe slicer

    Finding that there was no earthly way I could get a decent meat slicer that is less than 30 years old, I've been checking craigslist on and off and this weekend found what I was looking for. A lady posted this old Globe that she was afraid to even plug in. I ended up giving her $25 for it...

    Water tank cold smoker

    What's the function of the pipes opposite of the smoke pipe?

    Water tank cold smoker

    I have a pressure tank I saved to turn into some kind of smoker. This thread just settled it. I'm doing this. Outstanding piece of ingenuity, I can't wait to shamelessly copy it!

    My Brined, Injected, Smoked, Fried Turkey (lots of pics and a pie bonus)

    This is an old thread, but I think it warrants a revisit. I just wish the photos in the OP were still in place. I'm planning to smoke then fry for Thanksgiving and this may be my road map.

    Built a custom smoker, Should hold 15 to 20 slabs.

    That's a sweet lookin rig, Jim. I love the idea of re-purposing stuff like this into a cooker.

    It is Begun! My First Smoker Build

    You don't need my permission; do it up! I've had it in the garage the last couple weeks, so I can't say how it's holding up, but being that it's cedar it would hold up well even if left raw.

    Thank you! I am enjoying it greatly so far. Nothing like cooking on a rig you designed and built yourself.

    It is Begun! My First Smoker Build

    I decided I wanted a wood shelf instead of the expanded, so I had a buddy whip one up using some extra cedar he had lying around. Then I decided I wanted it to better match the cooker. So I did some research and discovered a Japanese method for finishing cedar siding by charring it. It's...

    It is Begun! My First Smoker Build

    Thanks, the butts turned out great! I did learn, however, that I need to work up a baffle to direct more heat to the lower grate. The butts on the top got done WAAAAY sooner than those below. Made for a long night...

    Oh, I'm counting on leftovers. Can't run out! I have an old Mauser, haven't fired it in a long time. Been thinking about getting it out and dressing it up.

    Good eye, Len, that is indeed a Mauser bolt. And the meat was 12 butts for a Retirees' banquet tomorrow night. Coated them all with Tatonka dust and smoked over apple, pecan, and a bit of hickory. They look kinda like this:

    It is Begun! My First Smoker Build

    Well, aside from a couple little odds and ends, she's done. Spent a whopping $50 to have it sandblasted; a great deal, I thought. Based on a goodly bit of research and careful consideration of my budget, I went with rattle cans for the paint. 2,000deg engine paint for the fb, 500deg header...
