    Smoked Cheese Time

    I smoked some mild cheddar a few weeks back with cherry wood and honestly didn't care much for the flavor. Probably left in in the smoker a couple of hours at around 100 degrees. I use an electric hot plate and aluminum pan with shavings. (I have a thickness planer in my workshop and I just...

    Christmas Ham

    Just finished smoking my first ham 30 minutes ago. I actually smoked 2-12 lb. hams for Christmas....it was an all day affair. I used the Honey Glazed recipe at this address: http://bbq.about.com/od/hamrecipes/r/bl81128a.htm I increased the amounts proportionately because the recipe is for a...

    Galvanized Hardware Mesh

    You're right Bill. Dad always taught me, "when in doubt, don't." And I will most likely go with expanded metal. Here's what I really think the "deal" is, but don't know for sure. I've been told by welders that when welding galvanized metals you have to be very careful, wear the masks, etc...

    Galvanized Hardware Mesh

    Thanks GoFish. That's what I needed to hear. I've got a local welder making me a smoke pan, so I'll just have him crank out a couple of racks. The expanded metal is a good idea. I'll post some pics when I'm completed. :)

    Galvanized Hardware Mesh

    I'm building a smoker and I want to know if it would be safe to use galvanized hardware mesh for the racks. I'm making the racks myself from 1x1 pine. I've read a couple of strings and one said it was ok and another said that the galvanized metal would give off toxic fumes? Need input... Thanks.

    Stainless Steel Parts

    I used copper pipe for the burn plate. I have not put any vent near the bottom. The gasket on the bottom of the door is missing (by design) and allows air to flow up and through the smoker. The amount of draft is controlled by the top damper.

    Stainless Steel Parts

    This box stands 5' tall overall. The interior is 18" wide x 27" deep x 40" height. I made the mistake of letting a friend take it home and install the flue you see. He made a bit of a mess of it and I would like to do it right. It's too nice of a box to not do right, in my perfectionist...

    Stainless Steel Parts
