WARNING TO THOSE THAT SMOKE MEAT

[Rooskibar03]

This is one reason I built a wooden cabinet around my propane smoker, is to keep the wind away from the flame so it doesn't get blown out. Still have to put a door on it and paint the thing. Works great though. Gets it up where I can reach it without bending over, has storage for two propane tanks and wood chunks below. Wheels around on the patio wherever I want it, and sits in the corner by the house out of the way when not in use.



YOWZA! Damn, that was good......gonna use it this weekend.

See there is my concern over getting a smoker, there are just 3 of us. I wouldn't know what to do with all that meat and I'm sure as hell not going to give it away.


Oh yeah, damn that looks good.

Do you need a copy of the decal I have to the left of the Tetaflex decal?

Glad you are alright!

I use a microwave.

Huh my stick burners never do that

[Ah Pook]

I use a microwave.

To burn off your eyebrows?

I forgot to mention that all that meat in my smoker was for a fundraising poker run we did for a friend of ours who has a blood disease. I think there's 80 lbs. of pork shoulders in there. That ain't no family feed, there was several hundred folks chewin' on that stuff. Helluva maiden voyage for a new smoker, and a helluva leap of faith for a BBQ noob (me). Sure glad it turned out well, it was actually awesome.

But the cabinet works very well, keeps the wind off and the temp stays quite stable. I turn the burner down as low as it'll go, fill the wood pan with large chunks of hickory, and keep the water pan full. Smoke cigars and have a beer or two.

Cabinet is approx 24"x24"x7ft. tall. Just kinda made it up as I went, no plans or anything. It does have a back on it too, open at the top to let the smoke out. Very Bubba and unscientific.

But as far as the OP's original warning - gas grills will damn sure blow up too! Gotta be careful about re-lighting them.

Another reason I use a Cookshack electric smoker. Constant temp, no water pan, never more than 3 oz of wood per run, perfect every time. Oh, and no blowing up in your face.

Glad to hear you're OK. Reminds me of some fryer accidents I've encountered - set the garage floor on fire once.

Some of you guys are heartless!!! Funny, but heartless.

To the poster, so much for a public service announcement!

"hold my beer and watch this"

Yep, that's the one.
