Thread: Barbeque Sunday! Smoking out the truck

Good call on the cider, Bob - it's just about the best beverage to pair with smoky flavor. Icy cold and I personally like Strong Bow or even better yet Scrumpy (a hard cider is good to find - or is it a good cider is hard to find??).

And here I sit with last night's left over lasagna and some carrots.....

.

The cider she had was Angry Orchard.........not too sweet, not too dry, just a nice balance.

Glen that custom built setup is the bomb! I'd go broke just filling it! A friend of mine made a simple smoker from a 55 gallon steel drum(non toxic chemical container only) and then welded a piece of rebar to a coal pan that he lowers to the bottom. He drills to sets of holes about 16" from the top and puts two rebar rods thru there, and hangs meat from the rods on hooks, and has a round store bought grill on top of the rebar for slow grillings or smoking. Then just a simple metal lid for the top. Basically you load coal pan into bottom, fire the coals , pack the meat in and shut the top lid on. there are a few vent holes on the bottom and enough of a gap to the lid for a low heat smoke cooker. Next time I'm out at his place I'll snap a few pictures.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll try that this weekend.

Here's a quick summary of what I did to build my smoker..

Just whipped up a new batch of this for ribs for tomorrow!

Have the relatives coming over today, so slaw and pulled pork on menu. It's hard to believe that it's almost December, and we've got warm sunny weather. I'm not sure we can call this an Indian Summer, I think we've almost exhausted Fall and are headed towards Winter. We desperately need some rainfall soon, but when god gives you a beautiful day...Barbeque!

Pulled pork resurrected
for the fourth. Smoking another pork shoulder with mixture of above recipe and Redezvous dry rub. Going for about 5 hours, then pull it apart and add Sreeming Freeman's Perfect BBQ Sauce. Yum!
