[R-390] Kielbasa

[Bill Guyger]

Well, haven't really tried cooking Kielbasa with a regulator tube, but I have cooked regular hot dogs with one of those big Master Electric heat guns. Laid them in a piece of Aluminum angle stock and heated until the dogs were bubbling the fats out. Took about 2-3 minutes per dog.

Not sure of the actual temperature, but these heat guns will melt solder if you close the vanes on the blower intake and stick the solder right in front of the air exit.

Thus it was proposed to combine our favorite past time (messing with R-390’s) with another happy diversion (eating kielbasa).  My favorite accompanying condiment is the traditional horseradish mustard, made locally in the genuine tradition by some Polish folks here in the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts.

I have made a fan plate to attach a muffin fan to the sides of such radios that manages the heat *very* nicely.  Picture sent upon request.
