I have never smoked my own food, and now that I am in Thailand, with time on my hands I would like to give it a go.
How can I make my own smoker?
Can I buy one here?
Where do I get the wood chips?
Any recipes?
Regards

Here you go...
2 55 gallon drums and you're in business. PS. Build a small wall between the bottom drum and your legs...otherwise you'll get some great BBQ tattoos.

I have seen similar websites with trashcan smokers but I'm not sure if metal trashcans are available in Bangkok, I don't remember seeing them in Home Pro. However, it should be possible to find something that would work just as well. #6

Any suggestions on what thai wood can be used? Greg #7

1. The best idea I have heard is to use lam yai wood for smoking -- the local charcoal is mostly made from rubber wood.
2. This website has a lot of ideas for smokers and technique: http://sausagemaker....eatSmokers.html -- could probably have a smoker made here in Thailand by one of those restaurant/food cart fabricators -- even in stainless steel with a gas heat ring. 3. My (here-to-fore secret) plan if I had the space was to make a REAL BBQ (for the 15 hour pork shoulders) out of 2 large upended concrete sewer conduits. -- One for the fire box down low and one for the BBQ smoker elevated connected by a dampered pipe -- and every town in LOS has those conduits available. The garbage can or oil drum offers no insulation to keep the temperature steady and the fire burning longer -- just might have to add some fire brick or lining to the fire box 4. look at the 'BIG pit' here: http://www.coopersbbq.com/tour.asp to see a pit with an 'above' lid as opposed to the door on the drum design 5. Make the BBQ sauce out of mustard & vinegar like they do in the Carolinas instead of catsup (Hi Jet!) Attached Files
