Terrier Sam 297 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just looking for a bit of advice on what type of pipe to use on a chainsaw to smoke rats? What does everyone use? I've seen a few videos where people use a flexi pipe but I don't know of a flexi pipe that will withstand that sort of heat. I've tried a few things but none seem to work that well. And......before anyone says it.......no I'm not prepared to splash out on a proper rat smoker Any other advice more than welcome! Thanks in advance! Sam Quote Link to post
dsullia 32 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I will dig our spare out in the day if i get time and get some pics for you,we welded a tube onto a roybi one so the tube warmed up not the tube then clamped the tube to the end of that so the tube never gets hot.....will get some pics up if i get a min in the day and will ask the lad i go with if he thinks we wont use it if he says not then if you want it we can sort sommit out on postage thanks Quote Link to post

Terrier Sam 297 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm not being tight I just can't warrant payin a tonne for a rat smoker and then have to pay through the nose for cans of stuff for it too when there are cheaper options. I had thought about brake pipe and radiator pipe but I wasn't sure if they'd withstand the heat. Any more advice is more than welcome too Good to see what other guys use. If anyone's got any pics too then put em up ATBSam Quote Link to post
spade 224 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Attach some metal piping to the exhaust then attach radiator hose to that. Quote Link to post
