Hello from Hertfordshire England . I have made up a smoker from an old metal food safe , some flexible flue liner and a brick hearth , it works quite well and isn't too hot . generally I smoke the rabbits i catch , which works well . I just need to experiment with seasoning the brine . Over here we tend to soak the rabbit in bring for 24hours , this firms the meat and cleans a lot of the blood out .

I look forward to finding out a lot more about this great way of preparing food .

 Hello Badger. I would like to see a picture of what you are cooking with.

 I grew up hunting rabbits and squirrels. Some would turn up their nose but they are fine eating. Just can't describe how good they taste.

 A few months ago I smoked a rabbit for a friend and it was delicious.

 Welcome to the SMF.

to SMF - looking forward to seeing that smoker 
 
 OK folks , I finally got to be at home in daylight , & managed to photograph my DIY smoker , it's a salvaged metal cabinet screwed to the end on my shed , linked by a bit of flexible flue liner to a simple brick hearth ,

So far it works great for rabbit & salmon , after reading some of the posts I will have a go at adding spices to my brining solution . I have always brined rabbit even for so called normal cooking , mainly for hygiene reasons , I usually use about half a cup of salt to a gallon of water this will clean the meat and remove most of the blood that pools in the neck .

Now I need to try out adding herbs & spices to the brining solution and see how it works ,
