Default Did some fabing today (non-cc though)

I have a few of these laying around here from years past and every now and then I come up with something to use them for. I have one that I cut a 12 inch whole in the top and made a nice fit for a cooking pan lid, It is nice to take to camp and cook corn and such in or even just to heat up 15 gallons of water in. They even fit rite on some of the bigger heavier made turkey frying bases, can't buy a cheaper or better made pot this size.

I have been wanting a small, portable, self contained, charcoal smoker for at camp. I did some looking on the net and found pictures of these, so I figured why not.

If you split it just above the apex of the top ring, then do a little bending with a crescent wrench, the top will fit just inside the bottom. There are 2 types of keg spears ( the pressure rod and valve ). One kind is threaded and the other is snap ring. once you get the spear out, you will see how to take the ball valve out. Just reassemble it and put it on upside down for the smoke stack. The rest is pretty self explanatory from the pictures.

The elbow, black pipe and ball valve will get put on the side for air flow into the bottom. It was nap time for my helper, so I had to stop.

At least back far enough that the deposit was still only $30 or less. Now a days around here the deposit for the keg is more then the beer inside it. I still have my keg fridge , but now it holds corny kegs instead of half kegs ,as I brew my own. It a lot cheaper, better tasting, and is a reason to get together "test" what we made.

I have about $55-$60 in this , not counting the keg. This is all stainless ,copper,and brass except for the piece of black pipe, so it will last forever. unlike the $150 and up units you see that are rusted out after 1-2 years.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
