Unique Smoker Rig

[John Gesner]

Well, I understand the idea. Not bad, really. But I still laughed when I say it.

I didn't know that stainless steel qualified as antique.

If you had compressed hydrogen in the pressurized container you would never have to worry about the thing going out....come to think of it you would probably never get to worry again

The green bottle in place of the bellows has me wondering. The green color is usually used for oxygen. Instead of pumping the bellows to put air into the burn chamber it looks like you can just squirt a little oxygen into the smoker burn chamber. I don't know how easy it would be to get the little O2 bottle refilled but my oxygen bottle for welding is pressurized to a very high pressure and gets swapped out with pressure tested replacement bottles when I need more.

Of course, the green bottle might only have compressed air in it which would make things much simpler.

Novel idea but I'd rather have a regular smoker.

Sheesh, I never fancied myself as a model of physical fitness, but I can honestly say that I have never broken a sweat while pumping a smoker bellows.

Looks like a Schrader valve in the little top tank. Probable take High Pressure air right out of your friendly gas station air compressor.

But then when the air charge runs out you gotta drive around all day looking for a gas station with free air.

Interesting. It would be nice to have as an oddity though.

Yea, someone else here suggested oxygen. Don’t do it! I haven't seen it I a while, but somewhere on the net is pixs of a Ohio State U's professors' annual picnic cook out. Every year they have a race to see who can light 20 pounds of charcoal the fastest.

Not to giveaway to much of the plot, but the winner of this race employs a 3 gallon bucket of liquid Oxygen, a 10 foot pole, and a lit cigarette. Charcoal was ready to grill over in less than 2 seconds. Cheap metal bbq grill was turned into plasma, legs and all, as in MIA. The mushroom cloud was spectacular.

It looks like it would be a blowtorch, not a smoker.

Some people just have to much time on their hands. or a nagger for a wife

I've seen that same compressed air can on the snap-on truck for just under $100 if I remember correctly... and not painted green!

Around here you could drive around the rest of your life and still not find a gas station with free air. If you're gonna use that thing with compressed air....you'd better take a compressor along....or a darned good bicycle pump..

This may be the site that has it. George Goble is the fellow...Scroll down for the video (mpeg)
