    Making Liquid Smoke. Need Advice.

    Just thinking about it being a waste product. I am not trying to save money, I am just trying to challenge myself and be able to make it myself. Just a curiosity of mine that's all

    First Big Smoker Build. Advice welcomed!

    So how do you serve the pig? Do you just slice off a hunk and dig in? Skin and all? Seems odd to me but I hear of people doing it all the time. Also how does a whole pig compare in flavor to other single pork products... for instance, is it similar to eating a Boston Butt only a whole pigs worth?

    Does anyone have any input on cooking a whole pig? For instance... how long are the pigs normally? Would a pig rotisserie be necessary? How much of the pig is normally eaten when it's cooked whole?

    Brick smoker and pizza oven 2 in 1?

    I see what you are saying. I never thought of that.. like I said I'm no brick guy. What if there was a metal pipe/chimney that went from the firebox up the side and into the pizza oven skipping the pizza box. What if you have the firebox on the bottom, the pipe coming out of the top side of the...

    Brick smoker and pizza oven 2 in 1?

    This is what I suggested earlier. Fire in bottom, pizza oven next with smoke channeled up to the top which would be the smoker.

    First Big Smoker Build. Advice welcomed!

    Okay today I feel like I am much closer to smoking some meat on this thing. I put the plate in the tank that divides the cook chamber from the fire box. Also I finished the exhaust box and made am intake damper. Now all that's left is the exhaust pipe (still haven't decided what to use)...

    R F Smoker Question

    I would say if you use the RF plate for a water pan, 3" distance should be fine. It seems like the water would "tone down" the radiant heat of the RF plate and insulate it so to speak eliminating hot spots.

    Making Liquid Smoke. Need Advice.

    When I did it (the one and only time I've done it) I left the smoked water in the same pot, covered and in the house for about 2 weeks, which concentrated the smoke somehow. That is why I think there could be some bacteria living in it. I like the camping grill idea By the way.

    Making Liquid Smoke. Need Advice.

    Looks good! And yes I am only doing this while I am smoking meat.. I just am trying to maximize the smoking process and get a product that will allow me to smoke food while not around my smokers. Thank you for the input... By the way, the way I have done it is by putting a large pot of water in...

    Brick smoker and pizza oven 2 in 1?

    I am not a brick smoker guy, my smokers are of the steel variety, but I would imagine that the design could be something like this. Very bottom is fire place. Above that is the Pizza oven, but have it bricked so that no smoke comes in this chamber. Above that is the smoking chamber where you...

    Noob lucked up and found a proofer for $25. Can you help me with the build?

    I like this build. There is very little building involved and it seems to be a clean reliable source for smoking meat. I may do one of these after the one I'm working on now... And I thought hot rodding was addictive. You can't eat what comes off of a hot engine! Smokers are fun to build...

    Making Liquid Smoke. Need Advice.

    I am wondering if any of you make liquid smoke and if so how do you do it? I have attempted this and was semi successful. I tried several different ways before finding one that seemed to work. First I boiled some dripping "tarrish" cresote in some water, NOT Good! Next I tried to harvest...
