Dont know haw to get the spring out but i have seen them made into a hot water service that sits on the camp fire better than those cheap steel 20 litre drums 8)

Hi Guys,

The keg should hold 50 litres if it has the roud ball and spring in the top.

I have a mate that has one made into a camping BBQ with a rotissery set up in it as well, its cut in half long ways through the middle and hinged.

Cheers Andy.

:roll: hmmmmm,i read this with interest ,as i have an old xxxx keg sitting out the back,was given to me to use as a water container on moby ,just couldnt figure out how to fit it up,i like the idea of a hot water system,any one got any pics or plans/drawings of said systems,or BBQ's,as i am sure a few people mite just have a keg laying around somewhere in their shed and mite want to do something unique with them :roll: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ 8)

8) hi al, i too have a beer keg, a kilderkin, and it is actually one from the failed 'courage' brewery in melbourne.
had it for many years now and it still is one of those 'what will i use it for?' things.
i must do something with it.
