100 uses for a 50ltr beer keg..
« on: May 29, 2013, 03:46:21 PM »
Well, after being completely inspired by darrenh's keg fire place I took things into my own hands  :cup: Call me a copycat but I just had to have one.. So the next morning I woke up and to find a 50ltr stainless keg on my front door step.... Kind of...  :police:


She not only looks fantastic on the back deck but works a treat also!

Here it is folks the pic's a bit dark but it’s off to the sand blasters tomorrow, was going to polish it up but i have more respect for my fingers and I reckon a sand blast finish will look nice  :cheers: Dave

I'm all for cutting up Multinational Kegs , BUT that one is the property of an Australian company that I quite enjoy the flavors of ..

When I get a few more posts I'll share my smoker and a few other projects from the other mobs kegs ..

Awesome!

I think Muzza and I need a FNQ group deal, since it gets so cold up here...

Cheers,

No Treg, just laser, moving mode radar, on board database, two radios and one of them is a phone. Also a digitector. We have to have two yellow top Optimas. One in boot and the other in engine bay. We have this colour as well as others.

That would be nice. I prefer white.  The grey is a nice colour.

Well lets see if I can now post a pic or 2 for you all .

First up I have a few that make beer


Then there is the smoker .Its gas or coals fired , it just sits on the BBQ or the gas ring on the brewery or even inside on the gas stove , if the weather is complete crap ..
The bottom


After the bottom I can just add the top and a lid


or add more sections with a rack in each


all the bits


And a few fish wings


The little stainless smoker is a mates that he brought down to show me , but by the time he got here I had mine cut out and cooking , lol

I didn't build the fire place but its served us well now for a good few years


well thats a couple more uses for the 50lt stainless vessels , I've got an other project here somewhere but I'll have too dig it out ...

cheers

Here's another.
They make a perfect exhaust system silencer for stationary engines such as small diesel genset or water pump.
I fitted 1 to a 3 cyl lister engine that powered a 25 kva alternator.
The keg is set up with exhaust in and out piping, then buried in sandy DRY ground, hook up the exhaust in and out making sure the outlet is up high, presto, a perfectly quiet exhaust system.
The only sound is the engine itself, and the sound of gas running through a pipe.
The sand absorbs the vibrations in the sound, hence it is quiet.
Easy as.

Doing well now, only 90 something uses to go, might get there n the not too distant future.   I am very surprised that noone has yet offered to empty the contents for people so that the kegs can be recycled.  I don't drink grog, so I am not offering.
