I should've made mine like this . I cut mine in 2 halves and the bastard springs open in a slight twist had to get them to join up later when putting on hinges
God bless beer league hockey and post game tailgating!!!! Going to build one of these as soon as I learn how to weld with my new Hobart 210MVP!! going today to get some gloves and look at welding hoods
Hi there, thanks for reaching out. To answer your question, yes, if you had a thick piece of steel in the bottom with the charcoal on top, once heated up it will retain heat longer than just the keg itself. We hope this helps!
Thank you for your question. The Handler 210MVP can weld .023-.035 in. (0.6-0.9 mm) mild steel or stainless steel. For more information, we recommend checking out the spec sheet: www.hobartwelders.com/-/media/hobart-imported-mam-assets/spec-sheets/b/4/d/handler-210mvp-250822.pdf. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Hello Feral, Solid question. You will have to drill a hole. Depending on the thermostat you buy, just make sure you have about a 1/32" to 1/16" of slop for the hole to receive the thermostat. The fasteners should do the rest. Let me know if you have any issue.
Hi. Good channel, THANKS new subscriber here. I'd like to build a cool grill too. I found an old 300cf acetylene tank. I'm pretty sure it's empty. Q: to cut in the door can I use a grinder or do you recommend plasma cutting? Thanks in advance))
If you stick weld it then make sure you are using the right rod. Stainless steel to stainless steel use a 308 rod. Stainless to carbon steel use a 309. And since it's thin metal use a 3/32 rod. A 1lb box is about $25
Thank you for reaching out! The mix of gas used in the videos is standard C25, ER70S6. We didn't use anything in particular for the stainless. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Nice! I own a the hobart 210 MVP and ive been using it for autobody work but never on stainless. When i get off this deployment im gonna make a grill out of the keg ive been lugging around since my wedding.
Hello! Thank you for reaching you. This DIY welding project video features a stainless steel beer keg. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Here is how to depressurize and remove the valve from a keg. ruclips.net/video/-H-hGNRo-f4/видео.html I know it didn't hurt anything but I was a little concerned to see you strike an arc on a sealed pressure vessel. I tend to be overly cautious about cutting and welding on or near sealed pressure vessels. Great video!
Your poor back. You should build a table or at least extend that one so it’s closer to you. As someone who is 6’2, the least amount of bending over the better
Where's the video of it on the trailer hitch? I wanted to see it in action
VERY nice!!! I didnt think you could mig weld stainless and could only use tig. (Im new to welding).
A friend uses beer kegs for projects. Welds them with SS flux core wire with great results.
Very nice job explaining procedures , step by step I can understand your reasoning for each step. Thank you
We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the video!
Beautiful job!

Perfect project to use my everlast plasma cutter. A nice grill for the backyard would be great.
Looks like the first time you do one i was smh when you started with the plasma cutter door always bend
Fantastic, novice question. If you added a thinker piece of steal in side at the bottom souls it act as a heat sync?

Concise video and some foot bobbin music, thanks.
You welded stainless to mild steel? What wire did you use?
Thank you for your question. You can find the full list of materials at 3:20. If you have any other questions, please let us know.
There is nuts and bolts no wire type or gage @ 3:20 ?? Never mine I got my answers else where.
Not sure why you didn’t include a chimney.
You have air in holes but no air out with the door closed?
How is it you are welding stainless? I have a Hobart 210 which I love and would love to be able to weld stainless.

how does the thermostat go on is it a simple magnetic peice you buy or do you have to make any holes for it?
Hello Feral,
Solid question. You will have to drill a hole. Depending on the thermostat you buy, just make sure you have about a 1/32" to 1/16" of slop for the hole to receive the thermostat. The fasteners should do the rest. Let me know if you have any issue.
So no oxygen hole on the bottom?.. sorry I must of missed that part of what
It sits on the side that technically functions as the top of the keg.
Hi. Good channel, THANKS
new subscriber here.
I'd like to build a cool grill too. I found an old 300cf acetylene tank. I'm pretty sure it's empty.
Q: to cut in the door can I use a grinder or do you recommend plasma cutting?
Thanks in advance))
Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We do not recommend cutting into an acetylene tank as it could be very dangerous.
Are you able to do the same but with stick welding?
If you are proficient enough with stick you should be able.
If you stick weld it then make sure you are using the right rod. Stainless steel to stainless steel use a 308 rod. Stainless to carbon steel use a 309. And since it's thin metal use a 3/32 rod. A 1lb box is about $25
What gauge stainless steel trim did you use on the door
Thanks for your question. We used 16 gauge steel on the door.
Are you welding mild steel to stainless???

No smoke stack?
I cut a keg like that but with a cutting wheel. The door worped.

The obtrusive music got me to stop watching.
