I've a 47 webber smokey mountain...its a great piece of kit...However after seeing eanna's BDS in action if I was making a first time purchase I'd differently go that route instead of the smokey mountain

This is the 18" model? If you were to buy a SM again, would you get the same size again, or go for the bigger/smaller model?

Yep it's the 18"..mid sized one.. It's perfect for feeding a family but not so good if entertaining.. I can smoke four large racks at a time.. Five at a push.. Takes a full shoulder no  bother.. I've got it nearly 8 years and at the time they didn't produce the 22"..if I had the choice I would of gone bigger.. I regularly borrow a 22" and I'd like to have the extra space..definitely wouldn't go the smaller model .heres the two side by side

(just as an aside, LS, you're  a brave man growing bamboo in your back garden. It took me 3 years to get rid of the stuff from our garden, and after that it just moved next door and now laughs at us over the neighbour's hedge)

I put it in pots and out the pots in the ground... Same with the mint at the back

Cheers. That's some collection of Weber gear you have assembled there! :)

Maybe a group buy on stainless steel barrels for smoker builds? :)

Count me in for at least one :)

Saw a guy in Twitter advertising a true Irish produced charcoal and also has the agency for them,

http://www.irishcharcoal.com/

process to make the drums looked labour intensive




but finished product looked amazing.

He is selling kits for 195

Burning out a barrel as I type here (for the second time), going to get a wire brush for the angle grinder over the weekend and give it a good going over. Those barrels in your previous link are perfect. Cheers for the heads up.

No worries I just looked at one of their vids and they look easy enough to do once you have em burnt off. What type of paint do you coat them with afterwards?
Lidl or Aldi had wire brushes for drills you just need their grinder for them tho

Cool I'll head to lidl and aldi this afternoon so. I'm thinking of using stove spray paint to finish it off.

Ah ok, yeah I'd buy that directly unless the postage from the US makes it stupid money.


I'd love to see a local link if there is one.

Oh Crap
