    Actually, its a steamer pot.  Yeah, whole chickens, butts even a slab of brisky or salmon.  I'm ready as soon as I can find a heat source to get my wood chunks going or some hardwood saw dust.  I'd love to have something together this week end so I can dig in on Monday, but I may have to settle...

    Oh, I forgot to mention, my Ukrainian Smokey Pot is about 14 inches across and maybe 12" deep with one rack in.  All alum.

    Pt II The "racks" look like this. I think I can get a smallish Butt in there with just one rack set inverted (spacer knob thingie down). The problem I have atm, is the hot plate ain't so durned hot.  It cycles too soon and after 2 hours I still had no smoke and the temp (according to my...

    I finally have some Qview for you folks. I swung by the Bazaar today and picked up my smokey pot. It consists of a bottom chamber that will be the fire box.

    SNARK!!!! I'd get banned if I posted that one!  But I'd have to yell AKULA!!! (Russian for shark) to get their attention.

    That's good to know Johny, Thanks.  Canned veggies are everywhere, but these people DO NOT buy soup, they cook it at home.  No canned soup in any market I've seen yet here.  My next excursion to the bazaar I'm going to grab that steamer pot I saw yesterday and then find a hardware/tool stall and...

    I was in a rush when I posted the last one. I do want to start out with cold smoking.  My goal is a reliable source of bacon, which for some reason is hard to find in these parts.  I can probably do it on the stove top under the range hood (while SWMBO is at work).  I thought I read something...

    Actually I found your iron and box thread right after I posted, TJ.  I found a very deep alum stock pot with about 4 stackable steaming trays at the bazaar today too.  Should work great for small batches of ribs, brisket, etc.

    Well, I realized that the cardboard box idea just might be my best bet.  I have a box big enough.  All I need is a hot plate and a grid to set the meat on and I should be in business soon.  We're going to the bazaar later today so I'll see what I can find there.

    Trying a fridge smoker.

    10.4 sounds about right Trevor.  If you have some #12 wire laying around I'd use that just to be sure to have enough wire to handle the load and if you have an old 12 wire extension cord kicking around, untangle that and just cut to leave enough cord to reach a nearby receptacle.  You can find...

    Trying a fridge smoker.

    Wire is too small if its getting that hot.  Going to 240 VAC will help with that as the higher voltage will allow lower amperage loads to achieve the same wattage output.  Even though you're moving up to a standard oven element with a higher wattage output, you probably aren't going to be...

    Yep, Love.  Its not as bad as I made it sound, really.  They do, do things different here no doubt about that.  They're working hard to put the old Soviet ideas behind them, its just gonna take the bureaucracy awhile to catch up.  But day in and day out, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else...

    I'd love to TJ, but the shipping alone would almost justify flying back to the States to pick one up.  And then there's all the bribes I'd have to pay to ensure delivery.    The postal carriers here pad their pockets by collecting an "insurance premium" from the little old ladies to make sure...

    Well, I made it home last Monday and enjoyed the shocked look on her face when I showed up 2 days before she expected me. I've been scoping possible grills, etc. for my smoker build.  I must say I forgot just how small 2 sq meters really is!  That's the size of our enclosed balcony that will...
