New to smoking

[brokemailbox]

For years I have wanted to get into smoking. Growing up in Indiana smoking was reserved for camels not meat. After living in Texas, Louisiana, NC, and now for good in Ohio I wanted to bring some flavor of smoked meat with me.

I recently got a pellet grill for stupid cheep and the results are great. Using the pellet has me committed to get into real smoker. I am starting to compile parts from scrap piles to fab up my own smoker, any and all design and fabrication pictures would be much appreciated.

Welcome to SMF! You have come to a happy place!

Look at the build section here on SMF. There are threads of every type and description. So much info it will make your head swim. Once you decide on a particular type of smoker post your ideas, pics and questions on a build thread. You will get lots of help from some great folks with lots of knowledge.

I too cheat with a pellet grill/smoker but I have other devices and always looking for another. Nothing beats cooking with sticks IMO. They're are a lot of great cooks who hang out here.
