Advice on a cooker

[pjlstrat]

I really enjoy cooking on an open fire. I have rigged up a cheap fire-pit with some rebar and an aftermarket grill grate to do some of this but it is less than ideal. I really have not seen what I want so was considering taking a welding class at the local vocational school, and making a run at my own....and then JakeT posted his interest in Lone Star Grillz. I had never heard of them so I went to their site. First off their smokers look beautiful, but as I dug around I saw their fire pit and started drooling. Got me thinking, with the vast knowledge on this site maybe there are similar products out there that I am not aware of so I thought I would ask.

Have you seen the Santa Maria cooking setups? If you have a Weber, this is a popular choice.

I will look into.

Must control my MCS urge. Breath slowly, relax, clear the mind......

[au4stree]

TripleB, I’m no help. Good luck! And let us know how the Santa Maria goes

If you want that, you could buy a used 22" kettle and, in your welding class, you could learn to make what Henrik did:

Plus you'd have the kettle for smoking, especially if you paired it with an SnS .

Thank you Kathryn....very cool idea.

[Henrik]

Yes, you could make your own or buy one from Gabby's Grills.

pjlstrat, norcal ovenworks makes a huge variety of drool worth open fire cooking options.

I think it was Attjack that originally mentioned it, but the Nuke Delta is a pretty sweet rig, my business partner actually just bought one and broke it in on the 4th. His review was 10/10!

I've also lately just been using my weber kettle with oak wood burned down to coals. (until my LoneStar Grillz shows up anyway!)

Thank you those look very nice.

And yet another option similar to your original reference but a bit more thrifty; https://www.homedepot.com/p/RiverGri...4612/202535014

Definitely like the price tag. Thanks for posting.
