    Explosive build....

    Pot has hairline cracks to/from the holes I drilled for the grate support. Dunno if was because of the flash-over, or because of heat in general. I am definately going back to a cast iron chip tray. The aluminum roaster had melted clean through.

    Explosive build....

    Latest build is concrete / masonry base with flower pot saucer as lid. (Dunno exactly what the pot is made of, but it is not terracota, and it's PITA to drill through.) Electric control via PLC. While taking pictures of it's maiden job. It exploded!. Not a catastrophic thing, rather, the lid...

    Smoker Body: Cast Concrete Cylinder?

    I always thought the appeal of the big green egg and it's ilk, was the thermal mass vs. metal bullet type smokers. In any case I will have to consult with the mechanical engineers at work regarding wall thickness. And it occurs to me glass beads or some other inert light material could be added...

    Smoker Body: Cast Concrete Cylinder?

    Smoker Body: Cast Concrete Cylinder?

    Found this forum when googling possible problems of cooking in concrete. Being a noob here, this may be heresy, but back in 2010 I built an electric, closed loop control, web enabled, text messaging meat smoker using two terra cotta flow pots, You can see the build here.... Since then I have...
