50 Litre CUB Keg

[bondy99]

Hi everyone

any advice on how to cut one of these things in half?

Cheers

Yeah, have a steady hand and a good angle grinder and only use a thin cutting disk.

Cheers Bondy I will have a go, Not sure how to go around the valve area though!

woops double post

Mate, which way are you cutting? Longitudinal or Latitudinal?

Take the valve out by using a large monkey wrench gently until the pressure has been released.

Just go to nuggets website, there is a link to it on this forum and look for a post called "how to cook prawns" and you'll see it as a video.

Cheers, Peter

hey Trax, it's on the front page in the saltwater chat section, just click on the link, had a look at it the other day, awesome cooker, think I might be going this way as well

Bondy I am cutting longitudinal. The valve looks like its welded in, someone suggested pressing the valve centre in to release the pressure before you start cutting.

bondy99 you can buy them down south $130 to 180 from the keg king
don't get caught with one from the pub $800 fine
cheers snap

I gotta a great Idea, I can buy a full VB gold in a 50 litre keg at my local, for $180. we take it my shed connect it up to the temprite, have an Ausfish meet and Greet, consume the contents and you get to take the MT keg

Yeah, sounds good to me , When is this happening??.

The Keg needs to be a CUB type as its slightly wider in the middle than the other kegs.

I somehow think you'll have to return the keg otherwise they'll slug ya big bill

Skipjack, there are a few different types around. Some you press in, others you cant, the ones that you cant press in you have to use a big monkey wrench and turn the bugger slowly until you hear the hiss and stop allow the pressure to escape then fully loosen the threated plate.

If you're cutting longitudinal then yeah your cutting the neck of the plunger rod access, if you cut it the other way as in around then you will avoid the neck.

I can't believe they have never asked for returns, I only buy 2 at a time a CUB and a Castlemaine, I have had kegs here for up to six months and at no time has anybody asked me to return one, I do it when they get in the way, by the way no one has ever recorded a serial number, got me beat!
