Am I nuts.... lol dual use gas assist

[Issom]

Hillbilly engineering... so I got a new bowl headed to me for my preformer from a buddy of mine.

My goal is to try to dual purpose the burner tube..

Any thoughts or tell me I'm nuts.... trying to avoid drilling this kettle.

The hose I used is up to 450f rated... it just slips on when needed and pops off when I want to use the gas assist.

Trial run tomorrow

What's ur thoughts

My thoughts? Well, I don't know why it wouldn't work. Watching.

I just drilled a hole for a gas assist in a new kettle bowl in a Performer frame, easy peasy with a step drill bit.

TRAIL RUN..... Gas assist Fan set up.

Using 1 inch tubing instead of 3/4 ... instead of having a few right angles I ended up with just 2.

Ran the unit @ 225 for 3hr then @300 for 2 hrs and @375 to burn off the cook.

The burner tube adapter got no hotter then 65f.

Pretty happy with the results on this set up.
