Beer Keg BBQ Grill

[rake60]

My cousin had an old beer keg in his garage and decided to turn it into a BBQ grill.

That's kind of cool, but I'm thinking a beer keg has been defaced to the point where it
can no longer dispense beer!

There is something WRONG with THAT!

that can would have made a great forge or foundry.

Finally, a good use for for one of those kegs.

I found a pony keg I'm going to try to convert to a portable grill.

Do you have any production pics?

 

[rake60]

No production pics.

All they did was cut the keg in half with a reciprocating saw, smooth up the sharp edges
and bolt a couple hinges on it.

How were the legs attached?

My brother is a welder, I though about taking it to him.

It's a real problem over here as well.

He bought that keg 20 years ago and finally decide to do something with it.

I'll have to ask him how he attached the legs.
The keg is thin stainless steel so it may be a challenge to weld.

I do know that bought the charcoal rack and grilling rack at the local WalMart.

Given that SS is a poor heat conductor, it ought to be an advantage in a grill.

I talked to him last night and he said that would be tough. It would be better to bolt them on.

I'm taking it to him this weekend. We'll see what he comes up with.
