    2nd build, smaller

    Greetings Forum! Well my giant smoker kicks butt! See other build threads by myself (if interested...). The only negative is it's size. It will gobble 1.5 bags of bbq charcoal over the period of 7 hours. With a 10,048 cu in CC, I can feed a crowd of 5-10. It's amazing but crazy overkill...

    greetings from Montana

    Hello there, Needless to say, I new to the forum but have been smoking for a couple of years.  I've always processed my own venison and have been slowly building my repertoire for wild meat recipes and procedures.  I built a small UDS out of a 20gal barrel a while back and love it!  I'll get...
