Hi there, Leigh here. I live in Durban, a coastal city in South Africa. Barbecuing or "Braaing" as it is called here, is a way of life for us. South Africans braai every weekend. We will make fire and let it burn down to coals anywhere we can. If we dont have a purpose built appliance type barbecue we make a plan with some bricks, or rocks and a grid on the ground. We braai all kinds of meat and do breads and veggies as well. In my home I braai three to four times a week using charcoal and my trusty old Weber. Strangely though DIY smoking of meat is not popular although we do eat a fair share of smoked meats from delis. I have hardly seen any home type smokers for sale in any retail outlet. I am quite keen to learn the art of smoking meat and have plans to build a smoker. I thought, let me join here and learn how to do it before I build the smoker.I would like to attach some photos of braai's but dont see any option to attach.Kind regardsLeigh van Zyl
