I just welded some square tubing to the bottom of the legs as an axle tube and put a piece of all thread through the middle as the axle. For the casters I welded some steel plate to the bottom of each leg followed by welding the casters directly to the steel plate.
I have tried it with no luck (rubbery skin). I have turned out chicken with very crispy skin before. The wife and I wanted chicken thighs but they were frozen rock solid. I threw those frozen bricks on the grill and it turned out to be some of the best thighs I have ever cooked.
RecTeq actually told me about that one time I called. Since my smoker is pretty shielded from the wind I have not noticed much of a difference. I build up the "insulation" due to laziness! :ROFLMAO:. I would say I clean out the ash every 2 times I clean the fire pot. I would say the main benefit...
I have a drum smoker that I will never get rid of. I love the bull for the convenience but I prefer the drum smoker for anything under 10 hours of cook time.
It seems like when I first got my grill it got up around 560 degrees no problem. Now I have talked to 4 different Recteq reps and tried multiple things but my grill barely gets to 500. Sometimes it won't even get to 500. I have tried multiple types of pellets (2 types I have gotten the grill to...
I did some grinding and welding on my grill. I used POR15 to coat the bare metal and that stuff is AWESOME! IMO it is a lot more durable than normal paint.
I had this problem with mine not too long ago. I had been cleaning the ash out of the barrel but I was not cleaning out the fire pot. After cleaning out the fire pot it gets up to 600 again. I'm not saying that's your problem but it is an idea.
Well after the caster I replaced 2 weeks ago bit the dust I was sick of it. I went to Home Depot figured out that 5/8 threaded rod fits perfectly inside a 3/4 square tube. BAM! Axle! I did weld everything which some may not have a welder. For the casters, I just welded a 1/4" steel plate to the...
I just fell victim to the failed caster. The funny part is that when they send me replacements one wheel had a massive flat spot in it. I had to take apart the old ones and swap parts between the two. I just don't get it. I have 0 complaints about everything other than the wheels. I plan on...
I'm going to be tackling this project soon. I move mine in and out of the garage and to and from the shed. I like the simplicity of how he did it. Drilling the hole straight should be the only hard part. I don't know if I will do a full axle. The stock design is for sure pretty weak though.
