Smokey Joe Mini Done!

noquarter · 11-15-2012, 03:06 PM

Finally got all the parts and pieces for my little smoker. I used a 32q Winware Aluminum pot, I used rivets to hold the grates up, I powder coated it black and drilled several holes in the bottom. Then added a Taylor thermometer to the outside...

The bottom grate is a Craycort cast iron...

Holes drilled...

The powder coating done and thermo in place!

Thanks for looking.

Looks cool man. Nice work!

why the need of the ci grate ? these things started as a cheap smoker. as usual, many have gone crazy with it. no critisism, just wondering why.

I was asking around about the size/fit of the Winware pot and Hankeye (many thanks) suggested the CI for a little more weight in the bottom of the pot for stability. I also really wanted a set of the CI grills for searing steaks and stuff on the Smokey Joe. They do a fantastic job of searing btw.

Now get it dirty! __________________ YOU CAN NOT COOK GREAT BBQ ON A CONSISTENT BASIS BY COOKING TO AN INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OR BY TIME ( XXX MIN PER LB) YOU MUST COOK BY FEEL! For Brisket and Pork Butts it must pass the poke test(probe like soft butter in the thickest part of the Flat) Ribs pass the Bend Test, These are the only reliable methods to ensure that your cook will be a success. There is one exception to these rules and that is Poultry which must achieve an internal temp of 170 deg in the thickest part of the thigh and 165 in the breast.
