A little side project for a close friend.

Postby k.a.m. » Sun Jun 05, 2016 7:13 pm

My Good friend and fellow competitor wanted a chicken cooker built for his competition trailer. We talked about weight issues and time to build so I turned him on to a cooker I have had my eyes on for a while. the grill is made by All seasons feeders and while it is not heavy metal it is well built and should last if taken care of.
We started with some 2" square tubing as a base and welded four ears to bolt to the floor and weld to the base of his PitMaker vault.

I welded a nut on the side and made a tee bolt to secure it from wobbling.

Next was the inner base tubing.

Then the base of the grill had to be beefed up and the socket installed.

Not a bad little project I was glad to help Corey out. :D
