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.

Man I must have missed the original post here. That cooker is bad ass! I love your ingenuity and resourcefulness. Keep posting cooks with this thing!

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).

Finished the offset smoker build on Thursday (finally).

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".

Great build, and very cool. Brakes and all.

Nice smokes and nice smoke ring there on the cooks bite.

Thanks mate, it's been a fun build and now really enjoying the cooking.

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.

Sweet!

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

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

Still been really digging the offset smoker cooking and today tried something a bit left field.

Soak some Marathon Dim Sims in honey soy and BBQ sauce for an hour or 2 and then cooked them for 1.5-2hrs at around 125°C.

Came out quite well. Will definitely be cooking these this way again.

EDIT: Not sure if Dim Sims are a thing outside of Aus or not. Basically they are minced meat with diced onion and/or cabbage with some spices thrown in and a wheat dough outer. Basically dumplings.

Never heard of it, but I'd certainly try it!
