Keg Shell Cooker

I needed a deep outdoor cooking pot that would contain splashes of hot oil and was easy to clean. I cut the top off of an old keg shell I had lying around and attached it to a LP burner ring.

It works well for fish fries or crab/crawfish boils.

Step 1 Obtain empty keg shell

Get yourself an empty keg shell. We live in a college town so I can pick these up from the frat houses for $5 or $10 each at the end of the school year.

wow with that frame i would think about welding it to a receiver post to tail gat mount your cooker
that looks VERY unstable. unless i missed something when i was reading, if then i am sorry

It's hose clamped on, not welded....at least thats what step 4 says. I agree with you that welding it would be easy and make the whole setup safer.

Did you build the burner frame as well? Step 4 seems like it could use a little more detail.

I did not make the frame itself, but you could easily if you have a welder. The actual burner component is available at most sporting goods stores. I bought the whole unit as is and replaced the burner when the old one rusted. Step 4 is just how I attached the two components. Depending upon what burner/frame you purchased or made the point of attachment would vary.
