Well a friend of mine sent me a link to this website and D.L. Whiteheads SJS smoker. I thought that looked like a good idea. My smoker has a few mods like a one piece heat shield. It is made from an aluminum baking sheet.
Then I cut the grate with a pair of bolt cutters. The tabs at he end were bent to make the grill fit tight.
Then I made a charcoal chimney starter out of some poultry wire and a empty can of baked beans. Its max capacity is 9 coals.
After a couple of test runs on Saturday I decided to smoke a 3lb. Boston Butt. This is about the max capacity of this little joe. Ignore the temp gauge I fitted to it, did not work right.
It took about 5 hours to get to 180 degrees internal temp.
After letting it rest it pulled apart real nice. Very tasty and better than the Q you can get around here.
