Title: My Bradley Puck Storage Solution
Post by: muebe on December 03, 2011, 12:15:49 AM
So I decided to make some tubes that hold the Bradley pucks for storage and retrieval. I went to the local Lowe's and bought a 10 ft stick of 2 1/2 inch electrical conduit, some test end caps, and some weed killer. The cashier had a strange look on her face and reluctantly asked me "What are your making?"...I then realized it looked like I had parts to make a bomb :D So I pulled a reference puck out of my pocket and showed her what I was making. She looked more calm after I told her ;D

The tubes are notched at the bottom so that you can remove one puck at a time then the next puck drops down. Each tube can hold 30 pucks and I got six from a 10ft stick. I also drilled a inspection hole to see when there are 6 or less pucks left. I plan on wall mounting them in my shed ;D

Wow - aismple, elegant solution to one of the common questions about this type of smoker!

Now - in areas of the country where humidity may be a problem...Would make a gasketed door for the notch, and silicone a clear cover ove the the inspection hole?

Suggestions?

Mike that's neat.  I think you have way to much time on your hands though   ;)

When I bought the materials at Lowe's I had to assure the lady working there that I was not making pipe bombs :o

LOL   that's funny. 

But if you told her what you were building then I bet she still gave you a blank stare.

You need to patent that idea and sell them.

I have Jim Beam pucks....wonder if that would work..better do like you did and take a puck with moi to Menards. I think I would like just a long one of them instead of several. Personal preference.  Pammie ★*˚°。°
