Newbie with homemade smoker.

Not to be a smart #@&* but the best advice I have is to plant some flowers in the whisky barrel and order a 009 from cookshack.
Sorry, thats my .02 worth

I agree, have built many homemade smokers over the yrs. refrig. barrels,concreat pits,old bread warmers etc. by far the cs08 4 small jobs is better than any i have ever used.

KEV,

Having lived overseas, I know it's hard to find good information.

The water pan goes just above the heat source as a "baffle" for the heat.

You can go to this forum, for the Weber Smokey Mountain smoker and see what one looks like:

The link is to the smoker modification portion of that site, but check the rest of it out.

WSM Modifications

You might look at the link on that page, "water pan modifications" for some photos.

Thanks for the info and glad i found the site.
Regards KEV

Hi Kev, I'm susre you already know this, but you're living in a beautiful part of the world. Got to travel Scotland a few years back and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Saw the military tattoo in Edinburgh, visited a bunch of castles and one of the highlights was staying in the Campbell House on Loch Lomond. The only downer was that the day I was at Loch Ness old Nessie was being very cantankerous and refused to show.

BTW, this forum is the place to be if you want to learm BBQ. Lots of luck with your project. Let us know how it turns out. Post pictures if you can.
