Thinking of building an insulated pellet grill for work. Anyone know where to get hold of a decent pellet assembly?

Nice too see you back mate

Anyone been this weekend? It's literally 10 minutes up the road from me but did to work and family commitments I can't make it this year. Is it work it? From pictures I've seen so far is seems a bit thin on the ground?

Looks great, that must be a big family!

Yeah me and the Oh have 6 children but only 4 live with us as the older 2 have moved out on their own. 

Quick cook for family tea tonight. All from the butcher's which is in the farm across the field.

This link here is great for flavour profiles and substitutions.

Excellent. Let us know how it ages. I've just cleaned my biab setup after 18 months of inactivity. Love a simple one hop beer, let's the hops shine through.. got a bag of pilgrim to try next.

Good progress mate. Looking forward to seeing its performance.

And the first round of mods!

First thing will be a wind shield round the back. NE wind just robs the heat away before it can cook anything. Job for next week

Finally!!! Got her home to fit with my gravity feed beast. Looking forward to firing up.

Looking good so far. When are you expecting it to have its first run?

As soon as I can get it home so probably be new year now as busy at work

All done bar cutting and fitting fire bricks. Hand wheel being done in red

Finally spraying it today. 🙄

Any idea on where to get pallets of pellets for a commercial operation?

I also want to learn to build one, yours looks great!

The picture isn't my one. I'll post full pictures when mine is painted

Just waiting on paint to arrive then blast and paint and fire up.

Yes the rake is set at what looks like 45’ and there is also a rake to clean the racks.

 

Lovely job thanks

That looks great 👍 

Do you have a coal rake? Could you post a pic if you do. Thanks

Quick update. All done bar blasting and painting. Got to polish all the stainless too. 😎

Topp bushes welded in. Ratchet pawl made. Quick pigtail steak turner made too. Can't decide weather to use wire or chain for hoist?

Grate and drip tray made. Wouldn't think there's 9 MTRS of stainless angle there 😮

Still undecided whether to put my rotisserie above the main grill or to the side over the brasero

@Smokin Monkey what's the angle of tilt on your grill for the fat run off?  10° enough?

We'll after 3 months off furloughed in back in the shop. 😄 Made a bit of progress the last couple of lunchtimes. 

Need to machine the liners for the winding gear in the legs and suss out the ratchet lock. Cut stainless bottom for the fire bricks to sit on. Build fire grate in left side. Plate sides. Blast. Paint. Not much left to do 😂😂😂

I received this this morning. Says mixed fruit wood and £18 for 13KG seems good value. Haven't opened it up yet but doesn't sound like it's full of shrapnel. 

Opened it up and pleasently surprised. Large bits and a few smaller bits for hot and fast. Most about 4-5 inches thick and 6-7 long. Biggest is the size of my forearm.
