Building a Smoker

I threw this together last year. Just need to get the paint off and repaint and she's ready to go for summer. FYI it's got a nice big chimney coming out of the side now.
D you have any issues with the smell?
I have used a couple of those before to make wood burners out of and the stench when you were cutting them was a bit strong! until it was all burnt off.

This is what I wanted, thick metal, but the chamber wasnt big enough for what I needed.

If you separate the two bottles with a 6 foot steel pipe, so that you are giving the smoke and air a chance to cool down, you end up being able to get closer to cold smoking.
 
Paid the money and bought a kamado for hot smoking and low and slow cooking, I went through loads of junk to get there homemade and commercial. You need to be able to protect the meat from direct heat and keep the heat in the oven.

Cold smoking I use cold weather, a tin cabinet and a Pro-Q smoke generator.
 
Has anyone ever managed to hot smoke using a gas bbq. If its possible I would be interested to see some pics.

You can, especially if its has multiple burners.

Put your meat in the opposite end to the burner and every now and then put suitable smoking wood chunks or chips in a metal tray above the gas burner so they burn and smoke.

Yes, that's what I was thinking.
