Dob't use photobucket. They now want $300/yr or something to hot link images, and the service still sucks.

However you see them, is however we'd see them at any given point in time. So just refresh the page if unsure. For example, as I type this you still have one photobucket image in your post. The other two are rendering just fine, not too large, with links back to originals.

Thx, done.

I made it bigger in order to hold more charcoal and water and hopefully last for very long cooks.

how long did it take you?
Is it working well?

Nice job getting the proper kettle slope into the shape, also!

I was thinking the same thing, that's a tricky curve to figure out! Awesome!

Thx guys I did my best to make it as close to the original as possible,. Its is made of galvanized steel to avoid rust, and the piece is quiet heavy.

I did not try it yet, but plan on doing a first test without meat to train/check the temperture controle first, maybe on saturday. I'll let you know how it goes.

Is galvanized steel safe ? Always heard it wasn't at high heat ? Good job on the mod.

Many thanks for your comment ! To be honest I am not sure if it is "galvanized", the metal supplier told me it will not rust and that it is the metal used to make bread ovens so I concluded it was galvanized metal which I was not aware of the dangerousity ... I need to investigate this issue seriously before cooking anything in it

[wessonjb]

Please do. Galvanized has zinc which makes a toxic fume. This is what I've always been told.
