Hi all SMF members,
I am a complete beginner - meat smoking is not that popular down here, but with all the fantastic info on this forum one can't go wrong!
I've used a stainless steel s/pool filter, which I hope I can use as bbq & smoker.
I have arranged series of pullys & s/steel wire to lower or lift the fire grate by turning & locking at the required height. will be experimenting this week end!

Cheers !

You got to post pictures of this contraption - sounds amazing :-)

Sounds interesting-you have to post some pictures of that setup. I would like to see it. Welcome to smf.

Welcome Saffer. Ditto here on the pics. I want to see some wild game. Need pulleys when lowering in a water buffalo hind quarter?

Welcome, the information on this site is great, you should be able to make some great smoked meats.

If I understand correctly, you're converting a stainless steel sand filter into a smoker? Sounds like your going to put some time into it, take some pictures and post them once it's done.

Welcome to SMF glad you joined us. You'll find lots of info here and some pretty darn good recipes as well. I would suggest signing up for Jeff's 5 Day Ecourse as well it has some great info and its free. Your smoker plan sounds interesting and I look forward to some pics and info as to how it works. Have fun and happy smoking

Welcome to the SMF. Sounds like your wanting to smoke is creating the need to improvise. I like your style my friend. Stick around, it only gets better.
