Beer keg BBQ?
I can get cast away beer kegs from a recycle yard for next to nothing.
Anyone know if they can be converted into a smoker? I can do the conversion myself... I was thinking of turning one into a firebox & another into the cooking chamber. I know they're kinda small, but I usually only smoke 4 racks of ribs at a time anyhow (maybe a chicken, too). My main concern - is it safe? Is there anything in the SS keg that I should worry about? Anyone done this before? Thanks! (Sorry if this shows up twice - I tried to post this a few minutes ago & it didn't take...)

However most kegs I've seen are aluminum. Don't know how they'd hold up as a firebox.
