How to make a homemade smoker for less than $20. Stop buying expensive smokers. Making your own smoker is cheap and you can use it anywhere! Smoke is a technique not a paycheck so make your own we’ll show you how for less than $20.
theres plastic parts in the electric burner your using......looks like a fire hazard to me , cant deny your end product I like the color and that thyme you got in there. I just finished making mine.....only difference is I dissassembled the electric burner I had and rewired everything with better wire......I give you 8/10 Sir
I saw you this morning on Robin Meade. Thank goodness I did. You helped me not to argue this morning with my so called man because of your random act of kindness to Mr. Powell. Weird but true. Respectfully, M. Milton
You could just throw some wood chunks on the lit charcoal banked to one side. The charcoal is the heat source and the wood gives you all the smoke you need.
I have an old weber I have not used in years because my wife bought us a ceramic grille. I was thinking of building a cedar smoke house but that is SO much work. Your idea is a brilliant way for me to convert my old weber into a smoker! But am I restricted to using woods chips from the store, or can pick up some logs of pecan, apple, oak or hickory and just slice up larger chunks with a saw? Thanks!
Nice I have an iron flat top grill I think I'll try this and just set the wood chips directly on it then use my grill grate over the top for smoking the meat I think that may work just as well as this does....awesome thanks for the idea
Thanks for that I was just looking on Amazon cause I’ve never had a smoker nor used one and I was at a guys house working and he brought me out smoked pork ribs and I cried a little bit. So now I’m home with no smoke pork fiend’N I now know I can use my huge grill and live
Dig a hole in ground. Dig a smaller one next to it. Connect them at the bottom. Use smaller hole for fuel. Place a grill grate over larger hole. Cover with a bowl or whatever. Called a Dakota Firepit. Works like a charm.
Most people have a cheap charcoal grill you can find one for $50 or even free on Craigslist. You really just need something to contain the smoke so even if you wrapped aluminum foil around some type of wire rack shelf or clothes hangers if you’re that determined
You have a komado, why bother with "converting" in onto a smoker, its already a smoker. Dump some coals in, add some wood chunks and adjust your vent. No electric doodads needed
It appears that whatever meat you smoke would have be finish cooking on the stove or in the oven. I was looking for a cheap smoker idea so I could try a kippered steak recipe, but the temp and the time the steak would have to smoke would melt the plastic on the little burner.......so this is not much help to me.
So you have 2 hrs to get this up to temp or cook them and then smoke them causing them to dry out. Gotta say according to all food time/temp rules I know of this is a fail.
Dear Bob, understood. Drying out is a by-product of a lack of moisture rather than the action of the smoke. Here the intent is to get smoke not for temperature but for the effect of smoke. Given the various cuts of meat, there is an enormous amount of thermodynamics that go into the smoking process.
I made one like this but cheaper. I use a cardboard box as a smoker. It breaks down flat and if you can get a refrigerator box it holds very large items. I was smoking brain tanned deer hides.
What isn't accomplished here is actual cooking. Great for cold smoking for salmon or something in that vein but you cannot achieve the correct temp to properly cook say, pork butt or brisket. Also? Your twelve dollar burner is a major fire hazard.
So why do you feel the need to send messages to other via Facebook on something that has nothing to do with you and in the process threatening their lives? As a vet you disgust me you should know better.
