Hi all,

UK BBQ freak here...

I've come here to show and get advice on my evolving beer keg vertical smoker...

I don't know all the terminologies and abbreviations yet so bare with me...

I'm about to convert it to a vertical reversed flow design. And the method of doing it seems not to be documented anywhere. So I'll start a thread somewhere after I've found the best forum to post in and become more familiar with the site..

Regards
B
 
Hello and Welcome to our addiction.  Many good folks here with a load of experience that they are more than willing to share.  If you have specific questions just start a thread and someone with experience will be along soon to offer advice.  All info you can provide us with such as smoker type, location and so on will help us answer any questions you may have, and pictures help a bunch.  Spend some time doing some research on the forums, tons of advice and recipes already available there.  Check out Jeff’s 5 day smoking E-Course ( link below ) that will help you get started.  Couple other good threads to help you get started included.  We look forward to your contributions.  Have fun.  Good luck.  Keep Smokin!

Welcome to the board! If you're looking for advice, please know that when posting to a sub-group like UK then only members of that group can reply. That's why I joined the UK group though I'm in Ohio.

Thanks for the welcome all...

That's good to know about the subgroups @bluewhisper thanks for that.

I'm waiting for a few parts to arrive then I'll be off to the build forums (I think) to show what I'm making and how I'm making it.. hope it works when done...

I'm an engineer of sorts and like a bit of automation where I can, and using parts from the garage to do it is fun too..

I have some experience with wood burning boilers;chip, pellet and log, so hope to have at least some ideas...

Hi B and welcome to the forum. Where in the UK are you from? It would be great if you can post up some photos of your beer keg so that we can watch the transformation as it is built. You will also get members posting suggestions and advice.

Hi Wade,

I'm east Midlands.

I've got smoker pics I've been taking for a while and lots of food pics before cooking, but the kids gobble it all up before I get the cooked pics. So I'll compile a post when my parts arrive (tomorrow I hope) and I'll reveal my plans... I'll be sure to update this thread with a link to my build thread...

Everything that gets posted in the subgroups is also visible in the main forum when you click on Forum > New Posts and many US members join and respond to posts in the UK group. Most of us post in both the main forums and the UK groups depending on what we are looking for. The UK group is good for getting advice on the more UK specific questions like "where to buy?", "what is the equivalent of?", "who can I contact?" and the main forum deals with general smoking/curing advice, recipes etc.

When translating recipes from the USA though you need to remember that the UK pint is 25% bigger than the US pint. Cups and spoons are the same size though.
