New BBQ time!

[Barry]

So I decided that I wanted to replace my BBQ that I built a while ago..

The old.



The new (still WIP)

[Spank]

Doesn't look level to me

[Barry]

It's spot on level, the slabs are on a slant and the angel of the photo

hey I like the 360 access.. good idea.

what you need now is a couple of big U bolts in the side..... to hold a big umbrella for when it chucks it down in the drought we're having

nice work bud

[Zak33]

don't suppose you have a half barrel that fits perfectly over the top do you?

cos if you built up a nice fire in it... let it go down to embers.. then chucked a load of sprigs of herbs and some wood chips on.. followed by a large slab of haddock.. and a lid.. you've got a great hot smoker there... really good potential.

On the side I'm going to build a removable shelf so it won't be full 360 (the gap at the side is only about 18 inch at the narrowest part) but I do like the umbrella idea!

As for the smoker idea, I do have access to a full size oil barrow and welding gear so could knock a full cover up for it

most important: how are you going to alter the height of the grid while cooking? Essentialllllllll and your old setup had it

Just looking at the old one is the hollow in the bottom left for a PC case , maybe fitted with a GTX480 for cooking the food

[Barry]

No need for height changes due to the funnel design (and food never staying on long enough to be over cooked ), the old side part was for storing coal ect
