haha, yeah, I'm probably going to try it just for the sake of making it. Honestly though, it's going to be far from the best use of the smoker.


Probably, but the sheer awesomeness of just making something like that would be worth it.

Which one?

I have one my brother made out of brick and the other one looks like this, except ours was made out of a 100 gallon drum;

We actually have it welded to a trailer that allows us to haul it to our buddies restaurant and grill out front during the spring, summer, and fall. We keep stacks of applewood, cherry, mesquite, and hickory just for smoking.
40x30 grill area? Is it also directly over the flame? I'd think that setup would make it hard to control the heat if you're doing a long smoke. Do you just build the fire in one end and put all the meat at the other? Also, yes please pictures of your brick one.

I'm currently looking into building some kind of apparatus to do cold smoking, as my current setup makes it hard to maintain a temperature under 200-250.

Duh, no wonder I haven't been able to post for two days; I got logged out for some reason.

Anyways, in re: cedar planking, I've found a fair bit of cedar trees to chop up. Don't know if I'll be using it in cooking, but it sure does smell good in a woodstove.

I know I did!!! /drool

I have nothing to add except for the fact I just finished having the most amazing bbq, chicken, pork ribs, baked beans, and home made mac and cheese from the bestest BBQ dive down in the triangle. You want to know what hell is? Hell is driving 20 minutes in traffic, with the most divine, salivating smell of real soul food sitting next to you, and you cant touch it until you get home.

Both the Mr. and I got extras for tomorrows lunch. YUM!

Honestly, the whole "Bacon!" meme is largely an eye-roller for me. I like bacon and all but not to the point where I need to act like a 12 year old girl at a private Twilight screening every time the topic comes up.

That said, I never finished my post.

Dear God, please send me down a bacon explosion. Hail Mary, Amen.

Oh dear God.

That made me very hungry and rather nauseous at the same time. Given a choice I think the hunger would win out.

With the grill area as big as it is you don't put the meat over the flame.

The longest I smoke is generally 8hrs for a brisket, and it takes constant supervision. The grill does have a heat gauge and other ventilation outlets to help control temperature.

I'm going to do a pulled pork with a very nice rub I came up with, but if anyone has any suggestions for other things to smoke, ]
Oysters. Smoked cheeses are good, but I've not a clue if that is done in a traditional smoker??

mmm, Oysters, good idea. Cheese requires a cold smoke, which I find very hard to do with this setup.

A good way to cold smoke is to use a hot plate in a box. You put wood chips (or sawdust) on the hot plate and then put the meat/cheese up above. It's fairly easy to keep the temperature down while still generating smoke. It's a small scale thing though. It's not a true cold smoke, but you can hit temperatures that are pretty low.

Alton brown instructions for a box smoker. He's using it for hot smoking, but you could get it cool enough to smoke bacon or cheese.

The last big smoking I did was on a REALLY small and kind of ****** side barrel smoker. It was a 5lbs brisket done low and slow for 14 hours with hickory. The dry rub was similar to yours, and I also made a wet spray to apply every hour or so out of apple juice, cider vinegar, brown sugar and some of the dry rub seasoning.

I want to get into cold smoking fish but I don't have the means of cold smoking...YET!

I got this design from the king of kitchen McGuyvering, Alton Brown.

We've got old school lockers at work and I'm thinking that 3 of them need to vanish.
