Steampunk Smoker

admin

I entered a charity smoke off at the end of the month and I didnt have a smoker. I looked around the shop too see what I had to make one cheap and fast. This is what I came up with. First attempt at chickens today and they were great. Thoughts anyone??? Attached ImagesRG_______________________Hobart 187Northern Tool Plasma 375Harris 85 O/A Rig (Ireland)

Reply:You know, a little brass, a little bronze to fancy it up ever so much and things like that go for BIG MONEY at the Steampunk conventions out here in California, mostly up by San Francisco. Maybe you've found a new source of revenue!
Reply:Cool smoker.

Reply:That's really nice not really steam punk my self, but but I think that smoker would look awsome next to my BBQ...
Reply:Creative and resourceful build on that great smoker. Like it as well as the chicken. Great job!
Reply:great smoker..thanks for sharing....i like the chicken too
Reply:So I entered the cook off with my Steampunk wanna be smoker and I was the only person who didnt have a large commercial propane smoker. I was a little intimidated but after a few beers it became quite the conversation piece. Everyone that walked by wanted to know something about it. 4 hours and several beers later, the celebrety judges made their desicion.  WE WON!!!!!!! WOW Best Yard Bird! Chicken Champion! Lots of fun, raised money for a good cause and a trophy to show off a little. Not to mention a very unique smoker!

Reply:Congratulations on the win.  Those chickens in your first post look huge!  Maybe it's the photo.
Reply:Its not the size of your smoker or how fancy it looks, its the good food that comes off of it. Congrats on the win.
Reply:Congrats.  Nothing like pulling something tasty out of the smoker, and to win a trophy on top, nice.
Reply:Doesn't winning feel great. The competition and camaraderie is wonderful but having others judge your efforts the best is, well, the BEST! Big congrats to you and ""Li'l Smoker"!
