Memory Lane, 3rd January 2023: Time for a new smoker

I kept my old (cardboard box) smoker in the greenhouse because it was way too smelly to stay in the house. I fetched it the other day intending to do some smoking and discovered that smoked cardboard is in fact a slug/snail delicacy and it was really now beyond use. So I decided to make a new, larger one. I’d saved some oven shelves from an old oven that I thought would work inside and everything else I put together from re-used timber etc. and a few bits I had sitting around.

It’s really just a ply cupboard with small vents in the front and the top.

Inside there’s a bar for hanging food from as well as runners for the shelves and a frame for the smoke generator shelf to sit on.

Next I need to add supports for the “drip shelf” over the smoke generator so nothing can fall down onto it and start a bigger fire.

After that I think it will be ready for a test drive.
