Started with a DOA TracVac Leaf Collector (motor hadn't run in ~20 years)
Mounted old woodstove to motor mounts.
Initial test runs showed 225-250 temps.
Added some fold-out shelves on the sides.
Mounted a couple of thermometers
Constructing the interior frame
Almost ready to go
Added a wooden sign made from a leftover piece of chestnut lumber from a kitchen remodel.
Invited 40-50 friends and cooked 12 racks of ribs, 10 lbs of wings, 2 shoulders and an 8 lb brisket flat.
Food came out great. Burned MA apple and a little VT Cherry and Alder.
So if you ever see an old leaf vac for sale....
