| I have taken the idea that was used on Surplusrifle.com and I think made it easier to build. It cost about $10.00 more than the original but I feel that the design and ease of assembly are well worth the extra cost. Below are a few picture of what you will need to make your own. as well as very easy to follow instructions and pictures of the finished project. I have also included a price break down. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Now the instructions.In the bottom of the can mark and
drill two 11/64 holes for the 8-32 screws. Also in the
bottom of the can drill a 1/2 hole directly in the
center and insert the rubber grommet run your extension
cord throught this hole and into the electrical box give
yourself enough slack that you can do your wiring
outside of the can. Mount the electrical box to the inside of the can using the two 8-3 screws and nuts. Attached the black wire to the brass colored screw of the lamp holder and the white wire to the silver screw of the lamp holder. attach the green wire to the electrical box. Pull the slack back through the bottom of the can and attach the lamp holder to the electrical box. Now with the can laying on the work bench with one handle on the left and one on the right drill a 3/8 hole in the top of the can and insert the temperature gauge and tighten down the nut. |

the lamp holder and put in the grill grid. TO MAKE CLEAN
UP EASY LINE BOTTOM OF THE CAN WITH ALUMINUM FOIL. put
on the lid and attach the bungee cord (Not pictured)
from one handle to the other this will make a tight seal
for your cooker. Now go get some nasty cosmoline covered parts and put them into your cooker and plug it in. The inside temperature of your cooker will be 150-175 Degrees so handle the parts with care when removing them. |
