flower pot smoker

[sweetjd]

well I was bored this week and I wanted to start smoking some grub.. so I was doing some reading and want to build myself a little smoker.. so I decided to go with the ceramic flower pot smoker. with an electric hot plate a couple of pie tins and grate and a gasket.. should be ready to go.

I did a dry run and got nice blue smoke for about an hour and got up to 215-225 degrees.. I'm thinking that will work for some smoking... I might need a higher watt hot plate. but let's see what happens.

Interesting! Any chance we can get a pic of the innards? I'd love to see how you have it set up in there

Nice!  Thats the kind of smoker i started off with.  the only thing that stinks is the size limitations.  I also found it was not usable in the winter without a better burner... wouldnt get up to temp... have fun, learn the ropes with it, and find a way to upgrade down the road.

yeah a single 5-8 lbs brisket or maybe an upright turkey.. it's cool for a family night dinner on the weekend.. but your right it is kinda small.. I'm already planning on building/ fabricating my next smoker... :)

yep!  i just finished turning an old gas oven into an electric smoker.  my little smoker lasted me two summers... well worth it.

yeah I'm for sure going to keep the lil smoker.. for family size smoke... if I ambitious to smoke a lot then I have the larger one
