Brand new smoker in my backyard

[Jorge]

Thanks, KCQuer .... I'll find a few bricks for the cooking chamber, and forget about the firebox. As for cleaning, sounds like I need to install a few drain holes, and just hose the bastard out .

put some foil down there and just fold it up after it has cooled. Makes life much easier.

Edit: any time I take the hose to the cooker I burn a small fire to dry it out good, and reseason if needed.

Thanks, all. I'm a fan of the "line it with foil" idea ... working on the raised firegrate tonight, and then looking for an excuse to cook this weekend.

The sun came up is usualy a good enough excuse for me!
