Introductory Post

This blog is dedicated to the art of barbequing large quantities of meat. Particularly if cooked on homemade grills or smokers made of random building waste or gardening items.

Below are pictures of the infamous 'Flower Pot Smoker'. It's a smoker I built in the backyard using 2-18'' Terracotta Flower Pots, a lot of old brick I found in the yard, a few CMU's, and a replacement grill for a 22 1/2'' Weber Patio Grill. In the next post I will chronicle the construction and provide photos.




So far I've smoked 2 Boston Butts, One Picnic Shoulder, One Whole Chicken, lots of Sauages, and a couple Split Duck breasts. I've been pleased with it's performance every time.
