Fired up my (98%) complete smoker tonight for some pork fillets and a chicken breast.

This time around got the wood preheating on lock. Probably 1.5 - 2.0hrs, 2-3kg of wood used at a guess.

Thanks. Still got some stainless bench pieces to put on front and back and route the brakes up to the handlebars (I'm a mountain biker if it isn't obvious from this build).
Very cool set up!

Stainless steel, work bench out front and wood rack out back.

Brakes routed to the handlebar.

Tonight smoked bambi backstrap. Just under 3 hrs around 110 degrees. Rested for 30mins in foil.

Dry rub consisted of Italian herb mix, rosemary, tarragon, ground coffee, turmeric and "spice mix for vege puffs".

Cheers. The only plan I had for the smoker was to get the baffle to smoke chamber ratio as right as I could.

The rest of it just evolved as I went along.

I like the mountain bike handlebars with the hand-brakes!

If you want to get "funky"...trade them out for some ape-hangers lol!
