Wine Barrel Smoker

Could a whiskey barrel be use the same way?

Yes, any oak barrel will work.

The charcoal basket is made form an aluminun 60 qt. steamer basket. It held up to a 10.5 hour brisket cook on Thursday.

If you make one, you need to make sure you fill the barrel with water and let it soak for 12-24 hrs before your cook.
 
Very interesting project. I thoroughly enjoyed the build. Will you be posting any pron? Would love to see how this smoker cooks. :wink:
 
Great job, thanks for posting the whole build process. I have not seen one of these before.
 
For those who are waiting for a cook, 2 butts and 3 racks of spares Saturday. Not sure if I will be doing it all on the WBS. Will See.

I'll be picking up 5 more barrels next month; 1-Smoker, 1-Ice Chest, 1-Chair, 1-wood chunks for smoking, and 1-spare parts.

Thanks for all the compliments.
