Buy one . Its much easier, and they can be had from any good fishing tackle shop for less than $50. Barbacues galore sell them, and the sawdust. Great for smoked fish, and chicken, etc.Bill

Hi Terry. Yesterday i went searching for a site that was recommended by someone here a while ago and they have an interesting smoker. Just another one for you to consider.
The other thing to think about is whether you want the smoke to cook the food or just to flavour it - they are different techniques and require different smokers.

I made one out of a dishwasher that gave up the ghost a while back. There was a handy round hole in the bottom that just fitted a cake tin I happen to find laying idle in the kitchen. I put a gas ring about 8" beneath the cake tin which held the sawdust. I knocked a few holes in the top to give it a a bit of a flow. I smoked tailor and Australian salmon (yes the fish that everyone throws back) in it and they came up a treat. This is what is known as a hot smoker, which part cooks and part smokes the contents.

If you have an old Webber kettle bbq, or even a cheaper small replica of a weber, you can smoke food in them. Just get the hickory chips and it works a treat. We used to do fresh trout and chickens beeeaauuuutifulllll........

I found a pic of the smoker.
The shelves were made from cheap cake racks joined by folding a piece of building cross brace ange over the ends of two racks sitting side by side.
