Handles.............

[1buckie]

 ....yeah, I gotta do somethin' pretty soon......





Luckily, I hit the saw pretty hard this afternoon & should be sending Brian some black walnut & plum burl.......finally.........











Need to do some fixing on some of these other kettles laying around also.............



Not sure what's going top happen with the Happy Cooker....





MacEggs has the lid & Craig got the int. ash pan.....

Hey Buclkie, how are the wheels on the ole HC?

Those are some beautiful pieces of timber. Should end up with some mighty fine looking handles from that stock.

Oh yeah!                        I'll take the HC legs.

H C wheels are faded but OK...............



You want just the legs?

Awful rusty.....



 I can most likely use the bowl for a particular project because of the smaller vents & the way the interior is............

Lool forward to seeing the timber turned into handles.. As for the bowl, what project are you looking to do?

OK.....I'll get your addy & get this going......some of the stuff is as nicely grained as I imagined.......
.....also have to do some pulled pork for the guy who cut the trunk into big slabs, he has 4 or 5 more to do.......

 Several, one being a Weber offset stickburner.....the H C might be just right for that as the cooking chamber needs only the top vent.................

Turning a kettle into an offset stickburner would be a really cool build. An 18 as the firebox would probably work nice attached to a 22. Yes, please send me those legs. Thanks!

This would be cool.
Perhaps a piece of 18" sched 40 steel pipe as a center section/fire box on the 18.5, then piped into a siamesed pair of de-commisioned gassers providing some nice cookbox area.
Sporting Weber badges loud and proud.

Good idea there.........

 I have several beaters that I was looking for some way to re-purpose.....the deal I envisioned is an 18" with a flue (already have a rectangular cast aluminium piece for that) running to a 22-1/2" cookbox

It's most likely going to be nicknamed "The Shark"

That sounds like a cool looking project and fun build! 

Don't forget to get that Sequoia goin!

I actually saw a smoker where the guy added an 18 to the side as a firebox, but it would be much nicer with a 22 next to it.
