Cut the bottom of the draws out mesh them up except the bottom one. Leave that for pellets or wood that you go collect. Then insert chimney at the back at the top. f**k paying for sumat you can make Mc. Plus you can put rods through to hang stuff on inside the draws.

Bollocks lining some other c**ts pocket when you can make your own just as good. Put a temp gauge at the front. Few vents to open up. Happy days. Bollocks paying 500 notes for sumat that can f**k up. All you need is shavings snowflake bedding. Slow burning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I might go for one of these when my egg dies, but tbh I can't imagine not using charcoal ....I quite fancy making my own smoker I could buy a tank/vessel and cut and fabricate it easy enough.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like a ceramic egg when mine dies lol ...yeah if you are handy with metal then it should be fairly straightforward to build a wood smoker I'd imagine, thicker the gauge, better the heat control 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I often get the treager pellets simply because they are more conveniently available to me but I do rate the pitboss pellets better, seem to get a deeper smoke flavour from them imo..local garden centre has just stocked the pitboss range so hopefully I've got a local supply now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
