HeyBertHeyErnie Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I'm really pushed for time ATM, so I'll upload some photos and add a commentary later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I've just googled that model with the price range of £175 up to £206...with a bundle of cover,chimney and bag of charcoal at £239 with free p&p. I wonder?? If mrs Ice may look the other way just long enough? ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyBertHeyErnie Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) I bought it from World of Power for £174 delivered, it does have some big panel gaps, but with £240 total spend on fire rope, silicone, clamps, and a chimney, 1 chimney of charcoal and 2 of briquettes lasted all day between 105-120 Celsius. It is worth it IMHO, with some caveats, I just haven't had a chance to take any good pictures of my mods yet to do a decent write up as I'm also doing a degree and have two assignments due in the next week ?????

Icefever Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 That's the deed done...just ordered the Kentucky bundle from BBQ LAND... https://www.bbqland.co.uk/kentucky-smoker-bbq-bundle.html for delivery this Friday. I may be talking with a higher voice at Billing... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyBertHeyErnie Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Looks like good value if you don't already have a chimney, woodchips, charcoal etc. The genuine cover is £35 as well, so if you wanted that it makes sense. I stick mine in the garage when I'm not using it If you just need the bbq, I found it cheapest here https://www.worldofpower.co.uk/landmann-kentucky-smoker.html I don't work for them or anything, just saying. If you want any tips on how I built it PM me. Edited July 4, 2018 by HeyBertHeyErnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Cheers on that...I do need the cover as we don't have a garage. The outhouse is my brew house (man cave)... the chimney & charcoal is an added bonus as I don't have a chimney and only half a bag of briquettes for this weekend....so a win win for us.

HeyBertHeyErnie Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 So finally got round to photographing my mods. Clamp on firebox hatch, flat stove rope on firebox hatch, stoverope on lid - both sides, stove rope on vent hatch, high heat silicone sealant around all spot-welded seams - bolt holes - joints of chimney etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Thanks...I have fire rope and glue will have to send for some flat for that mod. Can you remember how much you used??? Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyBertHeyErnie Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 I used proper stove glue to start on some, it didn't stick properly. I've restuck it now with the high heat silicone and based on how well it sticks to everything else have no doubt it will do it a treat. Half of it was ready taped as well which has stayed stuck on. I used about 5m all told, probably safer to buy 6 like I did. Some of it you'll see you could probably do with 14mm normal rope, not flat. The gaps are like 7-8mm around 3/4 of the lid.

Wade Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I started using the separate rope and glue but then moved to the self adhesive stove rope - and that stuck much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyBertHeyErnie Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 I agree Wade, the self adhesive rope works like a charm. The heat resistant silicone has done a good job of sticking it on as well now though. I would certainly not bother with the stove glue, it must not agree with powder coating or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefever Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Yes mate...thanks....it arrived as promised on the Fri...two box's sat in the living room. We carried them out on to the patio and thought we'll make a start now and finish her off on the Sat. We got stuck in and within a couple of hours...if that...it was sat there just waiting for a bucket of hot coals. Sanity prevailed thank goodness, I want to get all if not most of the mods fixed before we fire her up. It won't be this weekend as we're off to Billing, taking the Brinkman for that, we don't have anything planned for the weekend after so that's looking good for her maiden run. Ice.
