:shock: :shock: That's gotta be the wildest smoking contraption I think I've even seen in my 25 years of BBQ :lol: As long as it works, I can see a whole lotta work went into that awesome smoker.......use what you have and put it all together...brilliant!! I could never do anything like that, I'm af...

Welcome to Aussie BBQ Forum.

Great to hear you're making your own offset, that is something else to make your own.

Hope the test cook goes well, any idea of the first cook up?

Melbourne or regional? I'm not too far, just over the border from you in Albury.

Cheers

Yeah Offset smokers are more hands on than most other types but you'll get much more smoke flavour than other types especially if you're using wood only for the fire. I'm more partial to the bullet style smoker and you can buy a new Weber 57cm WSM (22.5 inch same as kettle) for $1,150 or two for $23...

Yep. still love using my 2 kettles as much as I can or as much as my Mrs can stand eating meat :lol: I had both of them going on Xmas Eve and cooked enough food that kept both of us going for pretty much 4 days. 2kg chicken wings 2 kilo small potatoes 10 frozen corn cobblets (these are the best and ...

Hi I'm Davo, the original Moderator and Admin on this forum, we've been going since 2008 but the heyday years were between 2008- to around 2013 Much has come and gone since then but we are still here. I know many Members old and new don't post on here very much anymore, they've gone elsewhere but th...

Well, I had a long old time member recently contact me to see if we can get this forum fired up again......Haven't seen that member here since so I'm thinking it could've been a gee-up or something......it is what it is!!

I knew it was too good to be true!!

I bought a SnS basket a couple of years ago now from BBQ Spit rotisseries in Sydney and I love it, I rarely use the Weber baskets anymore as the SNS holds around twice the amount of coals both Weber baskets put together and for low n slow, just leave a gap at one end for the lit coals and it'll slow...

Yeah....AVAGOOD LAUGH!!

I don't think they are a cheap item either, I'm sure I seen them for over $700 or something like that but yeah for maybe smoking it could work well.

You can bbq some pretty tasty veggies on the gasser. There's also vegans who eat meat when they think nobody is watching. :lol: :lol: :lol: Actually, believe it or not, Veggies rate very highly on my Gasser, sweet potato scollops or lots of Mushies, or Parsnips, Potatoes capsicum green and red, and...

I guess the idea of using a smoking tube is only useful for cold smoking in a Kamado.

I think I will stick to wood chunks if I need extra smoke.

You only need the fire hot enough to smoulder a chunk of wood to get a nice smoky result.

Back to Smokey's original post. If I ended up in a unit like Davo mentioned I would keep the Ziggy and put it on the unit balcony. If I needed smoke I would use a smoker box/tube. The rest of the bbqs would be sold off as no space. Yeah the Q3200 I'd keep on the balcony too, I've heard those Weber ...

I'm thinking if were using the kamado with direct heat without a deflector the smoking tube might get enough airflow not to go out. Could be used for cold smoking. Yeah mate, I think cold smoking is the go for one of those tubes, I always thought the power of the Komado was that even with low heat,...

Yummmmmmmm, who doesn't love a good ol meat Pie, even my wife loves them and she's Japanese......she actually told me that you can buy Aussie Meat Pies in Costco Japan now so i'll be on the hunt for them over there next time i go back. I've never tasted brisket Pie, I've never yet seen one advertise...

In many of the modern unit complexes, especially those that have an elevator and are over 3 stories high, many have strata bi-laws about using solid fuels such as Charcoal or wood due to the amount of smoke they make and the danger of sparks as well as the smell of charcoal and wood at start up will...
