I stumbled onto this forum by searching for smoking "potatoes" of all things.  I spent 6 months building a brick smoker off my back patio.  I started my first fire in early December 2012 and smoked my first ribs on it not long thereafter.  I now look for any opportunity to have people over so I can practice smoking various meats (ribs, chicken, pork loin so far).  I am thrilled to have found this place to pick up some good recipes and tips.

My profile has been updated.  Here are a few pics.  I need to take more to show how the bottom tray slides out to get to the meat easier.  I have an entire album on Facebook that shows pictures from the first brick to the last.
