Can anyone help me find some instructions on how to make my own bbq. Like out of a beer keg or something. Thanks for your help.

First off, just buy a regular one.
Second off, congrats on 1000 posts.

Well, if you use a beer keg, make sure it is completely empty first. ^^ You could easily lose a limb or two in the exploding alcohol.

Try to buy one. It's one thing to mod electrical components of lower voltages than human shocking threshold, but quite another when you are dealing with fire, ignitable fluids, and searing of flesh. If you need a small cheap one, look for a small Hibachi (spelling?).

...Seeing as I HAVE a Socket 7 era Cyrix processor, I know that the hot plate is pretty much all it's good for. I only keep my Cyrix to demonstrate how much it's FPU sucks in games. The glitches in UT make it unplayable after a little while, but to me it's just plain funny to watch. ^^

I believe so, I dont think they still use steel.

You know if your going to use a keg why? You can get a 55 gallon steel drum for so much cheaper. Use your trusty dremel and cut it in half. From there you can either make a grill or you can make a killer BBQ grill, of which will acommidate just about any size meal you can think to make.
