  • It's a vertical drum smoker - although I'm considering chucking a small drum next to it for cold smokes.

    It's usable as is, but I want to make it betterer:

    1. Give the current (ugly matte) paint job a rub down, and paint it with some VHT gloss paint & lacquer - then it won't be so fugly.
    2. Get hold of a 12v 8Ah battery (and do away with trailing cables into the house)
    3. Build a side tray & hooks for tools
    4. Build a nicer chimney
    5. Find a spare 57cm kettle lid & hinge (and do away with the flat drum lid)

    And then it's test mode time.

    In theory, I should be able to get 24 hours of cook time with the size of fuel basket and the battery (for the blower, damper & PID)

    I'll be testing to see how hot I can get it too, to see if pizza is doable or not
