Thanks so much. As soon as i get the vents i will do a low and slow of something :)

Thanks Kirby. Will be fun to experiment :)

Thank you. I appreciate you watching

Have you enquirer to see if their are any pottery classes or schools with art program close by who might also make you some pieces for extremely cheap? Also any reason you chose not to use the fire cement to further insulate bottom and ensure gaps in stones don’t get ash/suit toxins lodged in places you can’t reach to clean easily? Just super curious and also wondering now 2 years later how has it lasted?

Thank you so much for your nice comment! Pete is a great guy

Thanks bud, am very happy with it actuallly!

Thanks Sal. Its been a long time coming. And i am really happy so far. Will have to give a low ans slow cook a run too soon, but will have to wait a few days until i get the dampers - hard to control the temp as it is now :)

Thanks Tom. Will be fun to try it out :)

Thanks Tom. Fun project :) I am thinking a little cartlike structure for it. It turned out pretty heavy, so i want to mount some wheels on it, and on the table i put it on its to high up also, so getting it lower will come automatically :) Thanks for catching it

Thanks Jeff. Necessity is the mother of invention. Buying a good brand here starts at 1000-1100 dollars and thats way beyond what i am willing to pay. So this is a great alternative :)

Thank you!

Thanks Nate!!

Thanks Tommy. They will come shortly. Need to get the dampers so i can control it better before trying a low n slow cook. Should arrive in a few days though :)

Thanks Diane. Just a fun little project :)

Pickles BBQ thanks Charley. Will be fun to play with :) Hoåe ypu are keeping well!

Thanks so much Rob. Absolutely right :)

Thank you Luis. Really turned out as i hoped. Now i just need to wait for the vents to be able to control it better to do some low n slow cooking :)

Thank you Mike. This is the project i have been planning the longest. Going on two years now. Main problem has been i wanted the bottom part to be alrge enough to actually cook stuff, but didnt want the same put as a lid - it would be too heavy. So i have been looking dor a domed pot to use as a lid and found it this weekend, no more excuses i thought so off i went :) Got a rosette vent for the lid in the mail yesterday, and just need a bottom damper to arrive from germany and i can finish it. Will figure out a different solution to the charcoal basket as well to make it a bit easier to clean out, and lastly i need to put together a little cart so i can move it around withouth breaking my back lol. THanks for watching it :)

Thanks FloBro. Have been thinking about this a long time. Finally found the last piece (the lid) and figured i had no excuse anymore :)

@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue this is great, saw someone else just take another pot and put on top as a lid with a hinge. Where do you get the stones you put in the bottom?

Thanks Pete. Know you mentioned you gave it a go but were not happy with it. I have since then thought a lot abput how to get it to work :)

@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue Yes I tried to make a backyard tandoori oven out of plant pots but it wasn't a success, I only used it a couple of times.

Oh yes. That was it. :)

Armadillo Pepper BBQ thanks Jeff. It will be fun to experiment with :)

I use a pizza stone wrapped in foil under the grill. There is a wire rack you set the grill on that sits on the fire box ring with a holder for the stone. Works great.

Thanks Roger. So far so good :)

@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue Afraid to say I I use all my flower pots for my gardening Channel :)

Hehe my wife asked me if it was for tomatos... 😂

Thanks Ken. Yes plenty. The cheapest kamados here start at about 800 dollars and those are off brands without and good reviews. The,big greek egg amd kamado joe are way pricier so not an alternative imo. This will be fun to experiment with. Just waiting to get the dampers so i can control it better- as well as being able to use my stoker fan using an adapter. As for,using the bricks that is something i know would be good having watched your videos :)

Good luck

Thanks bud. Toook a leave of absence to get som distance to it all. Back now but on a more laid back level :)

tack tack - jättekul projekt, lär mig nya saker hela tiden :)

Thanks Dano. Dont have an opinion yet since i only did one cook so far. Will be fun to have something to experiment on :)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thats a really good idea, and way easier to "repair" - will have to look for one.

Hi, i bought the gasket at a fireplace store. It is just heat resistemt :)

Thanks, i get all the music from the free youtub music library :)

Thanks Victor. Sorry for late reply. I really like how this works, but the weber is very versarile too. I dont have a reverseflow cooker, but would not get one myself since i amnost never cook for many people. Usually only me and my wife. I do like having different grills to cook on to vary things. Today i simply made burgers on a griddle on my gasgrill :)

Thanks Simon, yes i would imagie i could. In my most recent video i have the vents mounted, but probably lit too many coals and let it get up in temp too much before i dampened it. So it ran at about 300. Next weekend i will do som e pulled pork or shredded beef to test a lower temp cook. I will only light a couple of coals to not overshoot. It is a new way of cooking for me so its a learning process :)

@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue just checked out the other video it looks great and you have a great set up, congrats. I am definitely going to give this a try. Could you post a link to where you got the vents and what the name of the vents are? Thanks in advance

Thank you, and thank you for your input. I will do that next time :)

@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue great! Keep up the wood work man!

Thanks. They are about 20 inches across. I actually brought the weber 18 inch grate with me to the store to find one that fit

James Hobbs not sure actually. I got it at woody but k-rauta also has it. Xl bygg has one that you need a heatresistent glue for, and its a bother working with. I sealed a stove with it and it worked only after i cleaned with pure gasolin.

Ofer Israel thank you! I read a lot and made sure thh pots was noncoated clay(terracota). Just to be sure there is norhing in a glaze that is unhealthy when heated. The firebricks in part help keep the heat steady, but i mainly got them to move the heat from direct contact with the pot, which also the stainless pot helps with. Hopefully this will minimize the risk of cracks developomg from extreme heat fluctuations. I have now used it a bit over ten times - maybe 15 - and can not find any wear at all. But its been summer all the time since i built it so a more fair answer would be next year actully. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Any feedback report now after having for 2 years?

@@rbslammed6163 well it worked just fine, however it needs constant attention, and adding charcoal or wood chips means taking everything out. So I just use it for the smoking process for about three hours, than I wrap it and use the oven, the smoke flavor and ring are great.

Thanks the size is just about 19 inches. I use a weber 18 inch grate for it

YEs and dont see anyy issues, it has not gotten too hot as of yet to loosen them

Thanks, it holds very well, but as for high heat i have not really tried to get it extremely high. I would guess a stoker, or larger bottom vent would be needed. More trials coming this summer

@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue thanks man. I already did mine a couple months ago. If you want to check it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLSXabyInJidiY0.html

@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue and you were a huge inspiration I must say. Cheers.

You put a smaller pot inside the base one and fill the gap inbetween with sand to insulate base pot from heat

Hi at a normal garden center actually, but it took me two years of looking as well to find two that matches

Hello? 😊

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. That was my problem too. I found the bottom pot two yesrs ago and have looked everywhere for something to use as a top. My first plan was to get a claypot plate but i didnt find one of those either. Then this summer we stopped at our local diy and the had this. I have been on my way there to try find out where they get them so i can give you some info. I live in sweden so not one of the global chains unfortunately. :/

Hi Lasse. Thanks for the reply and the effort to go find one but don't worry, I'll just percevere the same as you. I did find a top at a garden centre that fitted perfectly but was more of a goldfish bowl shape. Made the overall design look like an ice cream which was amusing but decided against in the end. The hunt continues. Thanks Great channel by the way. Stu

Couldn’t you just get a slightly larger diameter pot for the top?

@@ruthharvey3517 not really. You need to create a true seal and if you had mis matching sizes the seals wouldn't seat properly.

Thanks. The bottom pot was $39 top was $34 and the vents $15 each. The screws and gaskets i had so not sure. So about 120 dollars including a grate i would say :)

That i can imagine since it would be right over the heat, thats the reason for the firebricks really

Thanks. They are about 20 inches across. I actually brought the weber 18 inch grate with me to the store to find one that fit

Hej Niklas, och tack för din fråga. Jag hittade båda på vanliga handelsträdgårdar här nere i skåne. Jag har letat på många ställen de senaste åren efter framförallt den övre, men så såg jag den bara. Målet var att kunna ha ett vanligt galler till en weber 47cm i den.

@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue ok! Ja ska leta vidare. Ja tänkte de oxå, ta gallret från en weberkopia på 50cm som börjar bli gammal. Snyggt jobbat

@@nielsenniklas hittar du något så får du gärna tipsa mig. Trillade in på denna video i research-fasen av terracotta-bygge. Inte hittat några med bra storlek än.

No, i did a lot of research about the way they were made, and these are secure for household use

Hi sorry no. I picked the parts up over two years from different diys and garden stores in sweden. The vents i bought online from a marine parts shop. Sorry about that :/

Hej. Ledsen för sent svar. Hittade den undre på plantagen. Men de finns här och där. Den övre på en liten plantskola i tomelilla :/

Maybe i will have to change them, but so far i see no extra wear on them. So apparentyl they worked well :)

@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue I was just more concerned with the burnt plastic smell in the food

I would too if it was not as expensive as it is here :) Thanks for watching!

That might be true, will i do check them every use to see what has happened with them. So far they seem to hold up though

I assume if i was to go up to 400F it would be a problem, but since nylocks are temp graded to withstand temps up to 250F - and first after that loosing their locking ability (not necesssarily meling at 251F...) i have had no issues - :)

Nothing really save the fact the cost is close to 1/10 or so of getting a factory made one here in Sweden :)
