Geez... have a kid and fall out of brewing for a couple of years and suddenly the LBHS's have kits for what I did... LOL

Kill it with fire....

Check out this thread....

Assuming you have tested for voltage on the inlet lugs with a meter? Next place to check would be the lugs on the line side of the GCFI. Has the GCFI been tested and reset?

Well done sir... Looks great... I did something similar, although I went with a square garbage can with wheels... There is a thread with a pic here somewhere...

I use E-HLT and MLT, both with bottom drains and have no regrets...

I am going to use a shattered radial bone with a titanium plate and screws for my Apfelwien tap handle... ;)

Electric is the way to go with this type of setup... I have a few ideas I am rattling around in my noggin for using propane / NG on a bottom drain... Just haven't had the time to experiment...

:off: IMHO, there are much better lump charcoals to use... I have personally found rocks (not a big deal), lumber mill scrap.. ie: hardwood flooring leftovers, and plywood in bags of Cowboy... Others have found much worse.. Here... And here... Granted some of this information...

I don't think you would have a problem with pellet hops in a CFC like you would with a plate chiller... Plate chillers are a little more finicky about pellet hops... With this setup, the only problem I had was when the scrubbie got propped up and let a bunch of hops past... Total cockpit error...

Well, L.B.O. v2.0 is operational... Smoked a turkey breast last Sunday to season it and make sure it was going to function similar to v1.0... Going to try to get a chicken on it this weekend and start on the 2nd L.B.O. as well...

Well done sir... Well done indeed...

Oxy soaks and BKF for the crusties...

I use male fittings on all "solid" connections and use the female fittings on the hoses... Cheaper that way...

Reminds me of this...

What if I am the one doing the grocery shopping? :ban:

In all honesty, I am not an asparagus aficionado. However, I was looking for a tall, stainless vessel to turn into a hopback... If I could have only found a way to make the lid pressure tight, it would have worked... Got me a pressure cooker instead... :mug:
