I'm going to do the first run of my Earth pit side barrel smoker. I start with my char boil 22 inch cb grill.
I remove the lid.
I dig a few holes with a garden hoe. Three holes...one big one in the middle, and two smaller holes on the side. The side holes are a couple feet deep, and have a hole that will lead smoke into the big hole...the bricks are for covering the fire so that the smoke will go into the main chamber. The pipe you see is an air intake for the right side. I may install an intake for the other side as well, but I'm not sure if it is needed yet. I mixed up some mud and water to make the brickish outline you see around the big hole.
This is what it looks like with the cover on.
What do you think? Will it work? Trial run will be some chicken halves...
