    Any Wine Barrel Smokers out there?

    You have me thinking now of what to do. Yes the foil does not last very long but works well. Maybe I will try to skim coat the inside with furnace cement as it is non asbestos and can withstand high heat. The only question is, how well will it bond to oak?

    I have found used wine barrels on Kijiji and at the local wineries. I live in the Niagara area which is chock full of wineries. Some wineries will sell off the barrels after 3 or 4 seasons.

    Any Wine Barrel Smokers out there?

    Looking for input on problems with wine/oak barrel smokers. I myself have built a smoker from a wine barrel, it was an easy fun project and I have had a few successful and a few unsuccessful smokes since then.
