Barrel Barbecue - Construction

Construction

Barrel barbecues cannot be bought at any store and have to be made.

A barrel barbecue stands upright with a lid. It has a plow disk (with handles so that it can be lifted off to dump out the coal) on the bottom so the heat from the flames does not melt the bottom of the barrel. It has a hole on the top so some of the smoke leaves the barrel and so that the flames do not go out all together.

It has 3 to 4 slots on each side of the barrel so the ½” stainless steel round rods can sit on the barrel without falling in and it is where the meat hangs on the hooks. The hooks are ⅛” stainless steel rounds that are bent in an “S”-like shape so the meat does not fall into the coal.

Famous quotes containing the word construction:

    Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
