A new build with my GMG . First test was a success(more pix )
« Reply #-1 on: October 23, 2015, 01:39:20 PM »
We do a lot of BBQ at work . the GMG doesn't have enough room for ribs and it is to short for sausages .
we decided to modify it .
cut the top of the smoker .
build a smoking box out of 1mm mild steel .insulator and the inside stainless steel .
3 racks and 3 bars to hang the sausages . a chimney with a damper . bolted it and put a heat sealer . it will dry till Monday .
on Monday i will do a heat   test  .
will keep you posted .





































I cant wait till Monday  ;)

Nice!!!

Now you'll need to fab an extension to the pellet hopper....    That's the only beef I have with my GMG.

That, in and of itself, is high praise from the "master of mods".

That is one heck of a mod Ahron - nice job. 

Not being real familiar with the GMG, did you need to reinforce the legs or will the stock legs hold up under the added weight and higher center of gravity?
