beer keg reverse flow smoker

[oregonsmoke]

Ive got an old style beer keg I want to build a BBQ out of and hafe been toying with the idea of making it reverse flow. I just don;t know if its worth the trouble. It's certainly not a very big cooking chamber. I slow cook a lot of pork roast and think the slower the better. Do you think that I'd be wasting effort on making this small of a reverse slow smoker? I think I'd make the fire box detachable for ease of portability and would also like to use it as a choarcoal BBQ also for burgers and steaks.

Oregon,

Check on the material your keg is made of.  Most are aluminum or stainless steel or a combination.   Those materials require special welding techniques / equipment.   It is still doable, but more difficult.
