That's called flavour enhancement... It creates the flavour profile.

BTW if u feel the posh restaurants clean... Think again, them worse...

The Unipet station is closer to the PBR?

I use to real be au courant with El Socorro Road back in the 90s as I used to go lessons by Ferguson when she was in the side road by the government school.

I must have bought pies from Vernon but doh remeber the cup of mango.

Yeah that one . Children used to get the mango inside the pie though . Ferguson , you bring back memories dey boi .

[pugboy]

Chow is for if you like the taste of kerosene like long time bread baked in pitchoil stove
you can make a charcoal smoker easy with 55gal drum, google Ugly Drum Smoker

if yuh does eat pork I go do some ribs for you soon.

Make one. You can weld, not so? So get some 16" pipe (minimum diameter) and make a nice offset smoker. Lots or resources on the www to help you build one.

Use this a a good go by.

http://www.feldoncentral.com/bbqcalculator.html

I used this to do mines out of 18" pipe with 0.375 wall thickness. I made some improvisations (like a firebox that was slightly oversized) and now it works like a charm. Plus with such a thick schedule pipe, heat retention is superior to the thinner ones you get at Bhagwansingh's and this smoker will likely outlast me. I was able to get a 6 hour smoke using two chimney starters full of coals and about three "dosings" of the wood chunks. That was the year I got it actually. Now, as with everything else, I have been "learning" my smoker and with each smoke, I get a lil bit better at temperature regulation and controlling the draft through the pit.

Anyhow, enough of the nerdiness. If you going with a wood/coal burning smoker, I think you can easily make one. Electric or Gas, you are better off purchasing one.

My 2 cents.

[rspann]

I like the idea and it's simple enough but I will take three years to make it. Better to just buy one .

[maj. tom]

You know I remember seeing something like that design in the diagram selling in Pricesmart last year.
I think it was this:

Them welders begging for inside work these days. They building thing for small money

[rspann]

Yeah. Men working from home , men working under low. They glad for anything no matter how small. Men hadda live and mind family .

These are not very good. They are made with thin metal (not really sheet metal per se), which casues three issues - the first is that the heat retention is poor. The second is that the metal warps very quickly and when this happens it cannot seal effectively and so you'll lose much heat and smoke through the gaps in the lids, which will lead to poor performance and longer cooking times. The third issue is that it rots quickly.

A friend of mines bought a charbroil from Bhagwansingh's a few years ago and he got less than 5 cooks out of it before he saw all these issues.

Many of the smoking forums online also allude to the same.

That is one of the reasons why I chose to make mines. (Well I didn't weld it off as I am not that good at welding. I more provided design oversight to the fabricators LOL). The guys who fabricated it made two at the same time and another friend who was helping out got one.

Anyhow, I'd vouch for an offset smoker any day... The added benefit of one if the improvisations I made was that the firebox is large enough for me to grill directly as well. I can easily get about 20 legs grilling, but don't as I will have one section hotter than the other. So legs will smoke for about and hour or so on the smoker section and then move to the firebox to get a little char and cook on the BBQ sauce.

Enough of this - I think I know what I'm going to do this weekend.

[Chimera]

Right now I have a professional welder begging for work anywhere he could get. Someone link a Bess smoker diagram na. I guh have it made.

[carluva]

I used this as a go by:

http://www.horizonbbqsmokers.com/backya ... sic-smoker

Plus, use the link I sent earlier: Feldon smoker calculations. This gives you all the dimensions and cut outs you need. It's excellent. I have a drawing in my flash drive for the one I did. I'll post it tomorrow.

[rebound]

tried doubles the other night
failure as expected

Dont give up bro...this is my 3rd try . It gets better

Ok So I am not too sure if this thread is the place for this. So feel free to remove or place elsewhere, but since you asked, see photos below of the designs I did.

The first shows the section views for the 18 inch pipe, 38 inches total length.

The second is a design using 18 inch pipe, 38 inches total length.

The third is a design using 16 inch pipe, 60 inches total length.

The fourth is a design using 16 inch pipe, 54 inches total length.

The first and second ones are what mines is based on. I did make some tweaks such as a larger cutout between firebox and smoker box. I also could not get the 3 inch pipe for the chimney so I used two 2 inch pipes (like a double barrel muffler) to get the same volume flow through the exhaust as a single 3 inch pipe. The fuel access door on the firebox was also done a bit differently, but these are the tweaks.

Let your welder loose and be sure to let us see how it progresses, if you do choose to start. The hardest part is to access the pipe. I got it for free as a contractor at work had a 10 foot scrap length of 18 inch pipe lying around in his fab shop so I was able to get this. Everything else is easy to get.

You can use the websites I linked as well as these will also offer the calculations for a rectangular design if you so choose (if you can't get pipe). That could be done with steel sheet.
