    sorry for the bad pics, my fiancee has my camera so these are taken with my cell phone.

    basically i made a keg grill. but instead of making it a charcoal grill like you see all over the internet, i made it a propane grill. burner needs a little fine tuning, i think the generic orifice size and the burner don't match up exactly but it's good enough.

    last night's steak was great.

    Good job! I modified a tiger torch into a turkey fryer, but the thing is so scary fast and dangerous, I only use it outside, far away from combustible surfaces. Matter of fact, I usually chicken out and refuse to use it, unless I've had some "liquid encouragement"

    Actually, that guy could have made an Air Cycle Machine using the jet engine, which would have resulted in far more economical beer cooling

    Beer - it has spurred many advances in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and overall human knowledge. Beer = good
