Brought keg on eBay ($81), borrowed Grinder from son ($0), had s/s grill welded and cut ($50), total cost $131. Good value I reckon, especially when Kai Cooker sells for close to $AUD700 (which includes shipping).
opened several kegs one day last summer, by pressing down on the check valves. first one hissed a bit, second one hissed a bit, third one not so. INSTANT BEER RINCE!!!! from head to toe!!!! guyser of beer went 16 ft in the air and foam covered my 10 x 14 ft garden shed as well as a good portion of my backyard!!!!! didn't get hurt,I looked around too see if any neibours had seen it.HOPE NOT. laughed like hell-yet kinda humbling too! Dontcha love the smell of guiness on a sunday morning?Seriously,play it safe out there guys.
I learned welding stainless is different than welding regular steel but it's really easy once you get the hang of it. I didn't even burn through my keg with 1/8" rods which surprised me. Got the stainless rods off of ebay $10 a pound.
I guess it's as long as it works and saves you digging a hole in the ground then that's all good. The only problem we had was - 2 days after posting this video, the safety boots got stolen from a party. Any infomation leading to the capture the the thief would be grateful.
Hangi with Mr. Cooper! Sell a couple of them and buy a nice MIG welder- they're great for the small welds like you did and less grinding to clean up. Great job, now I'll go get a keg from the scrapyard (under 30 bucks) and make one too.
Next time when you weld that stainless steel, tig weld it- without fluxing gas like argon you get that oxidized metal at the weld, not to mention those stainless steel electrodes are highly toxic only use them with great ventilation. looks like a good idea, i never thought of making a giant steamer~ turkey day is commng up- and have a keg shell, i might give this a shot.
If there is no spear (valve) in the keg, it is impossible to be pressurized. My big concern is the welding helmet being used as safety goggles. Welding helmet clear glass is NOT impact resistance, and should that grinding disc bite into the material and shatter, this welding helmet gives ABSOLUTELY NO PROTECTION. Someone is going to get hurt BADLY......
brotherman thats alot of work to make a hangi keg last one i did only took me about an hour useing only a grinder all ya need is a keg lol grinder, 3 cutting disc, 1 sanding disc tape to mark out a strait line for cutting around the keg and a old oven tray to shape for the bottom of the keg for the food to sit easy.
A hangi is a New Zealand Maori method of cooking food in a ground pit using heated rocks. A lot of work is involved in the preparation of a traditional hangi from the hole digging to the wood gathering/ burning/ food preparation/ assembly/ covering and burying. A keg hangi is similar to a steamer but will feed a family of 30. And then all the extra cuzzies and uncles and aunties and neighbours and neighbours kids.
Not bad at all bit too much work for me. I built my own as well similar process but i didnt cut top of keg to make 3 pieces. I cut bottom third like he did then cut handles off around the top of keg, then cut the top of the keg where pump sits to make surface flush cut lines 5mm apart. Then turn flipped it around on it self. Only probz was had to make a lid. But all is well now
You have a very rinkley head haha any ways great video love the humour,would love to make one buy its hard to get a keg anyone in wellington got one lying around that they dont want send me a message
MagicPup69 just prize the circlip out, or cut in 2 places and the whole ball bearing and spring will come out yu might hear a "psssss" noise but very safe.
The bro that made the keg hasn't gotten back to me but it cost me a box and i helped hom drink it. oh, and there was this one time when his missus locked me out of the house but thats a different story..
Manuka and hickory wood chips on the bottom underneath the grill adding little bit of water to steam through giving it that flavour absolutely delicious.♥️👌
Goodonya cuz , have done the same with the chainsaw , cutting down old trees in the back yard , shorts `n jandals bro , ok as long as you take it easy , think about how ya gonna do things and everythings kapai , cheers
+AcE It .. I've heard of throwing a bit of soil onto the base (and water) to get the earthiness flavouring but honestly, hangi in the ground are the best. A lot more work but worth it on a large scale. I had a Ti-tree log off cut. Used a builders plane and shaved trimmings off the log. Threw a couple of handfuls onto the base dry to smoke out the contents for about 45mins then added water for steaming. The smoked falvour of the ti-tree comes through.

Loved this!! Lots of safety issues that work cover would not endorse. Thanks for sharing...

yeah i noticed your steel capped jandals lol good one!!
Awesome vid, I was actually looking up how to best convert a keg for brewing beer but couldn't not watch this.
I really like the safety gear bro
You clever man! Looks great.

Make sure the keg is depressurised before cutting into with grinder or any tool

I suggest you start with drinking the keg first before moving onto any of the other steps 😜
A hangi is pretty much a way of steaming your food the maori way :) its delicious! I love being maori
Excellent safety protocols. Geeat idea. are kegs aluminum or stainless?
Stainless steel

He has steel toes , he doesn't need boots
10 minutes my arse bro, took me half an hour to find my thongs!
hahahaha 40 mins for you then hahaha
Sweet as, bro
Like it ... but someone missed the safety warning and may take a little more than 10 minutes to put together LOL
Nice bro do you put water in keg to get steam? Hope to make one soon ：）
doing this tomorrow with my own twist i got an idea in my head and i'm collaborating with my dad
Good vid kuzzy...do you make them for sale?

Kia ora, good video,
Cool, now can I place a order for one?...lmfao
I'm In need of a shopping cart suddenly
how did you get the pressure out of the keg if there was any?
MagicPup69 just prize the circlip out, or cut in 2 places and the whole ball bearing and spring will come out yu might hear a "psssss" noise but very safe.
The bro that made the keg hasn't gotten back to me but it cost me a box and i helped hom drink it. oh, and there was this one time when his missus locked me out of the house but thats a different story..
hahahaha
I wondered where my jandals got to....🤣🤣🤣😎
Looks cool - but what exactly is it? A steamer pot? (I'd never heard the term "hangi" until I clicked on this video....)
Como se hace la parte de abajo?Ese video no explica lo mas importante.
remember safety first thats why you work bare feet .......
And learn to use Angle grinder the right way. Cutting the way you do is wery Dangerous.
How do you get the hangi earth flavour?
Manuka and hickory wood chips on the bottom underneath the grill adding little bit of water to steam through giving it that flavour absolutely delicious.♥️👌
Goodonya cuz , have done the same with the chainsaw , cutting down old trees in the back yard , shorts `n jandals bro , ok as long as you take it easy , think about how ya gonna do things and everythings kapai , cheers
They have this new invention out now,, it's called a workbench !!you get a little older you'll know what I mean!!lol
chur tumeke as. must of used stainlee welding rods. we use Tig welder. nice job
Ka pai cuzzy

Seems like an awful amount of effort to steam a bit of meat and veg. But well made vid and nice job!
+Steve Dixon It's called hangi and it is well wroth it bro and it isn't hard to make.
safety first while wearing flip flops
and no gloves and one-hand angle grinder operation...
Would Make awesome Meat Smoker,,
Safety first where are the gloves and steel toe boots 🥾
Chur Brada 👍
No not the Mutt!
What's a hangi?
Puedes editar los coltes para que sea menos aburido .

Yum bro I want hangi for breakfast. Haha. Chur kuz
bro I burn off manuka wood chips for about 20mintues before I add water to get that smokey flavour :)
I've seen people put old potato sacks in around the food. It definitely helps with flavor
If it aint in the dirt it's not a hangi
10 minutes haha ok
So it's really just a steamer?
Ok. Got it.
exactly what I thought which isn't what hangi or umu is... its supposed to be steaming, roasting & smoking at the same time 🤔
beer keg smoker
Tumekeeeeee
safey first! why u waring shorts and sandel!
Shot bro dat was mean.
Wast of a good brew kettle
+ROADRAINGER It's not being wasted it's being used to make delicious Hangi get amoungst bro.

Well this definitely didn't take ten minutes!
Idiot in jandels

Steamed meat. Not much worse.👎💩. Clever cooker but no thanks.
