Title: BBQ pit and wok I made
Post by: denali on January 15, 2010, 02:44:49 PM: got a pig cooking on it worked very well, cooked about 6 hr. The doors are off an old coal furnace.

The wok in the background is a 28" disc blade, works great for stir fry veggies.

thought I'd share

Post by: denali on January 17, 2010, 02:15:10 PM: thanks for the nice comments !

I don't know how much it weighs ? it is heavy, I have fork lift extensions on my tractor and that's how i move it.

and yes the chicken wire is a good idea as the meat gets close to done it is hard to keep every thing together.

Post by: Buckmark on January 17, 2010, 08:39:49 PM: Thats sweet, i have been kicking around an idea on building something like that, any pics looking inside it?
Title: Re: BBQ pit and wok I made
Post by: denali on January 17, 2010, 09:00:37 PM: I don't have any now but i will take some and post dimensions as well.

i wanted to build a trailer for it so it can be pulled, but i dont want it any higher off the ground so if any body has an idea ?

Post by: Buckmark on January 17, 2010, 09:12:42 PM: Not sure you can build a trailer for it that will have only about 5inches of ground clearence (thats what it looks like in the photo), the idea that sprung into my head would be to locate and weld on some ore car wheels and roll it (see winch) onto a shorty tandem axle trailer, then you can just off load it where you want and the ore car wheels would fit the look of it..

No, I didn't make that. A buddy just emailed it to me in an unrelated discussion. What are the odds, huh? Thought I'd share it.

Post by: fishcrazy on January 18, 2010, 11:17:35 AM: Makeing me hungry!!! I have a buddy who cooks pigs like that. SOOO GOOD!!! Try the chicken wire but before you close it all up stuff it with saurkraut and relish and maybe some apple sauce. Mix it all in a bucket or 2 and stuff it sew it up with wire and then cover in chicken wire.

The Kraut and relish can be purchased in a large quantity at Costco.

you might allso want to use a lid as it will cut down on cook time.

Post by: denali on January 18, 2010, 12:54:26 PM: tried something similar on a lamb i cooked, sliced apples,onions,white wine and seasoning in the body cavity then sew it up w/ stainless wire but it all fell out when 1/2 cooked ? trial and error ?

Hope this helps Buckmark grill, S.S expanded metal 35"x35" and slides side to side

fire box dimensions 60"x36"x36"

rotisserie 14" - 20" above grill

Post by: carpsniperg2 on January 18, 2010, 01:03:00 PM: i got to make one, some good ideas
Title: Re: BBQ pit and wok I made
Post by: fishcrazy on January 19, 2010, 08:24:13 PM: denali,

I think the chicken wire would have saved the day on that little lamb.

My buddy didn't have the electric motor to turn the porker. His had a handle and everybody took a turn. The smart one stayed in the front yard and the guys who hadn't seen it done before got recruited. LOL

A little idea when cutting the wire off. Put a magnit on the cutters so no small wire pieces drop into the food. It could really do a number on a guest if they got a piece of wire. :yike:
