Rogue_Alphonse Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 This time, it was a 5 hour process over misquote wood, and all I did was pour Sam Adams Octoberfest over it a few times.. following up with a glaze made of Stubb's Hickory Bourbon with some Don Q mixed into it. It damn near melted in my mouth, and it was so good that even a couple very friendly stray (I think? Maybe domestic outside?) cats enjoyed some. (Also don't mind the "Smorgas-board"... it was my last minute safety precaution considering that table was going to collapse at any minute. Not my house.... I have working tables... and better landscaping.) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyaos Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 These look so good. Reminds me of the time I smoked pork and lamb meat for the first time. When you get to that perfect temperature, everything melts in your mouth and slips off the bone, so to speak. But that was ages ago. I was a senior in high school when I learned how to smoke meat in that fashion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks- It was slapped together due to budget problems but it can be improved when the time comes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the 1/2" piece of plywood just thrown on top really could use some hinges, and maybe even some hood struts to hold it up and using half blocks on the sides and a whole block on the front as dampeners can get annoying if it's not me who is cooking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to snap a picture of our old smoker. It was used when I was a kid. Made entirely of blocks. You might appreciate the antique. It has cooked many great meals. Hasn't been used in probably close to 30 years. But we don't ever throw anything away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I build one for my place it will be mortared together and be very elaborate - as in smoker/grill/rotisserie/fire pit Haven't figured out where I want to put it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This old one we have is a smoker/grill/fire pit. I need to get it back in working condition. Where ever you decide to put it, a patio around it would be nice. Sort of an outdoor kitchen with sitting area. That'd be kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it's not built yet. We want a deck off the side of the house that leads to a fire pit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
