Creative Smoking

 

 

     This is a cheap easy way to smoke some meat. I think the total cost of this thing is under 100 bucks.  And the results are great.  The nice part is when your done you just remove the foil for cleanup.  Then you have a nice rolling rack for some storage.  Lets see your fancy smokers do that !

    I will update the pictures as they come in.  I started at around 7am July 4th morning.  Its now about 9am and the smoke is pouring out. 

    I did have a smoke circulation device (small fan) but during the guys pouring concrete lost it while moving stuff around.

 

 

The Rack

Here you just have a run of the mill stainless rolling bakers rack. Its price is about 35 bucks.

The foil

I first start by putting 2 layers of foil on the top and bottom racks.

The Sides

The sides are covered in foil whit the seams overlapping about 4 inches. Then the seams are duct taped closed.

The Heat

For heat I use 2 counter top hot plates. You can pick them up from your local hardware store for about 10 bucks each.

Steel Bowls

I use 4 steel bowls to hold the chips I put on the hot plate. 4 is good so you can have the other set ready while the oters are cooking. But you could get by with 2.

Cover

Cover the bowls with aluminium. Then poke holes in it so the smoke can come out but bo flames.

Smoke ON

Just toss the bowl on the hotplate and watch it work.

The MEAT

This is what this is all about. The nice part about this is you can smoke a whole lot of it. I think I can get 30 pounds of it in here.

Morfe meat

I think this about 20 pounds. 14 pounds of tri tip and 6 pounds of baby back

Seal the beast

After your meat is loaded you can seal the front with aluminium foil. When you need to change out the bowl just cut a little hole in the foil and your good to go.
