That will work VERY nicely, Worth!

Prosciutto! Zeus very nice also.

Double post.

Thank you Hellmanns.
It stopped raining enough to get the legs on drill some holes stand it up and get a fire started.
It works fantastic.
Now I need to put some leg braces on put trinkets on the inside and paint it on the outside. :D

A few comments on the smoker.
It cost me $76.00 at the store for the plywood which is 3/4 inch sheathing which has water proof glue.
Some fancy torx screws I wanted to try, I will never buy Phillips again these things are the cats meow.
The smoke stack I just had to have, it is a 3 inch water heater vent.
The three hinges and some torx bits for my drill.
The handle.
To make this at home without all of the contraptions and tools I have it would be a nightmare but doable.
The box was cut out on the table saw glued and brad nailed then before the glue dried I screwed it all together.
Put the legs on and stood it up.
I already had hole saws so that part was a snap.

The Plywood will hold heat better than steel.

I've been using those for years now, and you are correct about never buying Phillips again!:D

Trinkets are attached at least most of them.

Before someone thinks I am crazy for using plywood lots of people do it.
You wont poison yourself.

I have seen people smoke in everything from trash cans to cardboard boxes.
But never both at the same time.
If you think mine is a contraption out of some nut house take a look at this thing someone came up with.:))

My grandfather mounted a hotplate in the bottom of a trashcan just like that one. It worked as it smoked wood chips.

Salt I made one out of a huge hazardous waste drum one time it was all electric with outside controllers and everything.
I put a lot of work in it and it rusted out in no time from the salty meat.

Okay before anyone says anything I had friends that worked in a barrel factory.:)

The first meat I smoked was in an old refrigerator. It wasn't exactly cold smoking because it got warm in there, but the meat turned out good and was eaten in a couple of days.

Whats for Supper tonight???
 

Thought I'd show these. This was tonight's supper, along with sweet cantelope melon, sliced tomatoes, and iron skillet cornbread with butter. I smoked the ribs for 11 hours with my custom rub and some special sauce at hour 9.5. The wife makes the best potato salad - potatoes, boiled eggs, onions, celery, Yellow [B][COLOR=darkorchid]Mustard,[/COLOR][/B] Miracle Whip, and home made Bread & butter green relish made from green tomatoes and Peppers and whatever else. My rub has brown sugar, paprika, honey, thyme, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and a good pinch of red pepper powder. You may notice that the cook got a taste first.

Om nom nom nom..:yes:
