Hi all,
I'm excited to join this thread. I recently constructed a very DIY smoker using an electric burner and a trash can (see pic below), and I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces, learning all the while. Tonight's inauguration showed both promise and much room for improvement. I used apple wood, soaked for 30 minutes. While the temperature held steady at around 220 degrees, the smoke got a little out of hand. The pursuit of 'thin blue smoke' will be a theme for future forays.
I look forward to learning from everyone here, and would be especially interested in hearing from people smoking with similar setups.
