Look's Yummie... Jojo The Pit Barrel Cookers were on sale for $100 off, I got an e-mail from them, but I don't know if they still are. But I can only say good things about them, they're great! And they don't pay me to say that by the way. They really do work great though, and they're so easy to use. They're so easy- well, they're so easy even 1958FWD could probably run one without screwing anything up. They make a bigger one now, probably a full size 55 gallon drum. The one I have is smaller, but I don't remember the size. But like I said, it holds a whole turkey, or 8 racks of ribs, so it's plenty big for me. The new bigger unit has 3 rods in it instead of 2, so if you're cooking for a crowd.... They would be pretty easy to make too. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Joey Mack Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Thats great.. I just acquired this 1/4" thick 2'x2'x2' steel well cover from my City job.. I was thinking about using my old stainless steel grill on top of the box, and cutting a door into the box and putting hinges and a latch on it so i can cook with wood or do some smoking..

tjc transport Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 me thinks anything is better than nothing. on the farm we had an OLD elevator shaft from an even older asphalt plant. probably from the 20's, and moved there in the 50's when the plant was updated. it was 3 foot deep, 4 foot wide, and 9 foot tall. one of the 4 foot sides had a 5 foot door cut in it. fill the shaft with whatever you wanted to smoke, build a fire in the 2X4X4 box behind it with a tube into the elevator shaft and a small sliding door to control heat, and walk away for 14-16 hours for a 200 lb pig, or 4-6 hours for 50 lbs of whiting. we would use oak to start cooking and get a bed of coals, then toss in apple, pear, cherry, or hickory to smolder on the coals, depending on what we were smoking and flavor desired. it finally had enough of ma nature and fell over around 5 years ago. since there was not enough metal left to repair it, we just scrapped what was left of it. 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Joey Mack Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Yes sir TJC.. I may not even need to cut a door, maybe just some air holes with homemade dampers to control air flow.. My grill is smaller than the top opening, so I may just set it to the front, leaving the back open to drop wood into.. then to clean it out, just lift the grill off and shovel out the ashes.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 it is very simple Bob. they have us by the short hairs and know wee will pay their price no matter how high they raise it. yea people grumble, but no one actually has the balls to do anything but complain and pay. i am down to 4-5 gallons of gas per week with the exploder. i only drive to work and back, and stop at moms every other day to check the place out on the way home. if i go to the store or pharmacy, i take the electric mobility scooter as it is only 1/4 mile away. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

mowerman Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Ha ha teen!!!! On the gasoline I ordinarily drive V6 mustang 5 trips a week back n forth work post office and Home Depot both on the way home 16 miles a day so I really don’t use that much either . When I was doing layover runs, I was only putting 9 gallons in the car every two weeks. Now it uses slightly more. And by the way, Joey, I could think of million things I would do with that box. Great score bud ha ha… Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted January 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2023 Well I made a little more progress on my scrap metal cooker/smoker... Not quite a pretty thing but it is solid. I just have to build a hot fire in it to clean it out, then paint all but the lid with some stove paint.. and I guess I could try to clean the lid.. I had a grill fire a while back, because I dont scrub my grill, just scrape the grates.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Your a 'Good Egg' Bob.. I have a fire going in it right now... Once it's burned out. I will paint it, and try to clean up the stainless.. then post a picture... The inside of the grill and the grates are perfect.. I know it's kinda' sillly looking, but all the parts were either free or sittin here doin nothin'.. The box is actually 30''x30''x30''.... I need to get a rack of ribs.. and a pile of hard wood.. I have a dying Maple tree in my yard... It's gonna be the fuel.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked that part of the country, we need to take a trip out to coal country in the car to see what we can see. In the truck you didn't have much time to do any sight seeing, every road is narrow, crooked as a dog's leg, and usually steep. And narrow. I watched a movie last night that took place in Pikeville, Ky. It was pretty good, I told Zina I've been to Pikeville a few times. It's a whole different world out there in those hills. And the roads are all skinny and crooked. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
