Fantastic work, very inspiring! Such quality craftsmanship. How do you arrange the fuel over the flame?

No offense but why did you cold smoke the salt? I have never heard of smoked salt before. Either way this project will be in my future for sure. Thanks for the inspiration and build along, Mike.

Smoked salt is used in dishes that call for salt where I want to add a smokey flavor.

Finally did a hot smoke in the new smoker. My oldest was home from college and wanted ribs. I used the 3-2-1 method. 3 hours over hickory smoke between 230 and 250F with Famous Dave’s rib rub. 2 hours wrapped in foil with apple juice at the same temp and then 1 hour smoked unwrapped with some Famous Dave’s BBQ sauce.

This was the first propane smoking using chunks of Hickory and cast iron. They lasted a good long time and produced a great smelling smoke.
 

 

They came out falling off the bone. Next weekend it will be whole chickens, ribs and sausage for out of town guests visiting for Easter.

Nice looking ribs there.  Nice smoke ring.  Smoked salt is a nice addition.  Great build.  Good luck with it.

A little over a month ago the folks from Deer and Deer Hunting Magazine contacted me and asked if they could use my smoker project for their magazine to drive folks to their forum where I kept a blog like I did here. I see Its on page 10 of the latest issue.

Man, that is just awesome.  Was your total cost of $475 with your new propane burner?

By the way, how did the cheese turn out after it sat?  I've never smoked with maple.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Yeah, can you show us how the salt, cheese and olives turned out? Im interested in trying something similar here, we have some great cheeses and olives, im thinking of smoking and then marinating them? Or vice versa?

What thickness aluminum did you use?  was it a sheet or wide flashing type roll?

Very nicely build,  you did a great job.....

Boy that is a dandy of a smoker. I'm glad i found this thread since I am interested in building a smoker.

Any idea what your total cost was?

Also here's a idea for your cold smoker. Smoke some flour for smoked bread; just in case you never heard of it?
