My rig is fairly low-tech as it goes! Big metal bin, 3000W hotplate, cast iron pan, and a small rack suspended about 5cm below the lip.
It's my first ever smoking build in London, but I've had experience pit smoking and barrel smoking before.
It looks pink as it was a double smoke - I just couldn't get it up to a decent temperature the day before so I did some mods to get it at 180/190F for the next day. After about 10 hours it was a good solid temp in the middle so I pulled it off and it was that pink after 15 mins of resting.
Not quite as tender as I'd hoped, but I reckon that was the previous day's fault. I reckon a full 16 hours at the new temp will give a slight pinkish smoke ring and a fully cooked look throughout. Doing ribs and a whole chicken next weekend!
