Flanged 3' steel pipe

Class MayDresser

Trying to marry two Guinness kegs together end to end.

Can't find anywhere to thread a 76mm mild steel pipe to fit into the threaded head or gasket of a full sized Guinness keg, so thinking of sleeving over the whole "tap" of both to make a meat smoker.

I've split one keg already and the two keg vertical set up will fit in beside the one barrel Bbq I made 2 years ago, so even though most offset smokers are on the horizontal barrel, I don't have the room for it.

Anyone know a fabricator or store in the south where I might source such a fitting?

Something like this only 3 inch, without the flap.

You are basically looking for a flanged pipe is that it? Sorry no too up on bbq bulids.

If that's the case, could you not use a steel table leg https://cablematic.com/en/products/round-table-legs-for-desks-cabinets-furniture-made-of-black-steel-75cm-4-pack-IO032/?cr=EUR&ct=IE&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-ITGyteW6gIVFJSyCh3ncg3zEAQYAyABEgK11vD_BwE

Something like that only flanged both ends, probably 8 inches long and steel or stainless. Is it something the likes of a fabrication works would make if I rang them? No welder here.

How about something like an exhaust pipe flange https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-INCH-Stainless-Steel-Pipe-to-2-5-2-bolt-Flange-Reducer-Downpipe-Turbo-Exhaust/

Or exhaust repair flange https://www.amazon.co.uk/Exhaust-Repair-Flange-Flanged-Section/dp/B084JL6NGY/ ?

Along the right lines, only I need something flanged both ends. Haven't got the welding skills to marry two of those end to end.
Going to give a metal fabricator in Cork city a shout on Friday, tried one here local yesterday he had no interest whatsoever. Any recommendations anyone please?

Any engineering shop can thread a pipe for you in about ten minutes. If you are in dublin buro engineering in finglas could take care of it. They produce good work.

Yup, ideally that's the answer. Had originally asked to get a 76 mm mild steel pipe I had myself threaded, only to be told can't be done.
So there is such a milling machine for that size would you know?

The tools exist alright https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/3-inch-pipe-threader.html its finding someone who has them?

Last time I saw something like that it was owned by a plumbing firm doing industrial work.

Has to be something out there that would do the same job other than paying a fabricator?

Lots of exhaust connectors that would do the same job, no?
