$20 Smoker (pics)
6 Attachment(s)
I bought this vertical smoker from a guy, for $20 a wile back and have been messing around with it off and on for awhile. When I first got it there was no way to control the temps, you just put in your fuel and hoped it stayed at temp, needless to say it was impossible. So I added some flaps to the intake holes, cut the bottom out of the charcoal pan and replaced with expanded metal, cut a hole in the top and added an exhaust and a good thermo. On Sunday I rubbed up some chicken and ribs for a test smoke, with a full pan of R.O. lump, apple chunks and about a ¼ chimney of lit briquettes. With one bottom vent cracked and the top exhaust open about ½ way this little thing cruised along at 245* for the entire cook, I was blown away with how well it cooked, the food was outstanding. I will definitely be using this guy again.
