Elite  2999     Hattiesburg, Mississippi |  Subject: BBQ Smoker/KegMy roommates and I have an old keg sitting around and were thinking of trying to turn it into a BBQ Smoker. Has anyone ever tried this or seen plans for it on the internet. We have some ideas, but wanted to see what you guys thought. |

I agree, with the exception that you can buy a smoker (or a weber) for the amount of pain/time/trial&error of building a smoker out of a keg. |

| Subject: RE: BBQ Smoker/Keg I second the Weber recommendation, best grill on the market and not at all expensive. |

They'll get freaked out because they think it's a pressurized vessel. I used to brew very seriously and manufactured my own brewpots out of kegs and ran into this problem. I grill on a Weber but I smoke on one of these bad boys. Professional grade smoker and well worth the money. |

Posted by meredith's jockstrap, Craig: +1. I used to brew at a pub and the owner and I thought it would be a great idea to make a BBQ out of a keg. It's a ***** trying to find someone that'll do it, and expensive when you do. save your pennies and buy a Traeger. www.traegerindustries.com

Runner | Subject: RE: BBQ Smoker/Keg I had an old keg I turned into a roommate. We put an old Chi Chi's sombrero on his top, taped eyes on him, drew nostrils on the bung cork, and drew a big handlebar mustache on him. We called him Pepe The Wonder Keg. I miss Pepe sometimes.......*sniff* |

Apparently, Yuengling likes to reuse old kegs. Heck, I've gotten it in kegs from OTHER breweries! But yes, there aren't many like that left. Again, I'm old skool, yo. That's how I like to roll. |
