New puck Idea maybe

[mitchf350]

Ok ive been thinking about alternative pucks. My idear is to get some timken bearing races with a od the same size as a bradey puck then fill that with small wood chips like a chain saw throws out. My reasoning is that I do some chainsaw carving and have alot of different wood chips. I do not use a petrol based oil for my bar and chain, I use 100% canola. I know that these would have to be manualy advanced/filled. Just a idea to maybe try a unique type of wood for some exra kick! What do you all think?

Sounds like a fun project

You could use a cold smoke adaptor so you wouldn't lose the heat

when you open the door to change the wood chips.

Maybe a thin piece of metal under the race that you could slide out

after setting it on the hot plate. That way you could load the chips up

outside the generator.

An interesting thing to do would be to weigh a Bradley bisquette and then wiegh your loose shavings and see how much material you need to compress to get a comparable amount of material into the raceway. Let us know how it turns out.

Or use the race and a press and see if you could compact the chips into a puck?

On Average the bisquettes should be 17 - 20 grams. or 0.00002 Metric Tons

;D I'm glad you put the metric tons in thats all my scale reads  ;)

That's a good idea to use the chips for smoking. If you don't intend to compress the chips into bisquettes there and an alternative way to smoke wood chips to flavor the food in your Bradley.

You can use the cold smoke setup, a hot plate, pan and your wood chips. It may be better to build a cold box, the Bradley's Cold Smoke box it a little too small for most hot plates.

Here are some other instructions:

If you are going to use it frequently, some have made theirs out of wood, and/or metal.

Let's see - at Y&P's standard price on 120 packs that makes them a bit over $14,000/metric ton.    :o

Never thought of the value of woodchips or sawdust before.

Thats a good idea, but I think I can help you out a little more.  I took a length of exhaust pipe the same O.D. as a puck and cut it into slices the same thickness as a puck (make sure to cut slices square and at least as thick as a puck or they will jam in the advance mechanism).  The amount of pipe it took to make 10 of these slices was like 5 bucks.  Then I took some thin tin, cut circles and bronzed it to the bottom of the slices (this took a little practice to not melt anythin and get it to hold).  I personally use router shavings to fill my cups.  Fill the cups, stack in the same as pucks and watch the smoke roll.  Works well and wood shavings burn completely through.

"Then I took some thin tin, cut circles".........................hope by tin ya don't mean galvanized sheet metal................the zinc off that is not good for you
