OK, if any of you guys want to duplicate real Texas slow smoking on the cheap here it is.........
My nephew got into this a few months ago.......Ugly Drum Smoker (google it) lots of aficionado's out there, I was very skeptical, until I ate some of the stuff he cooked in here.......so I borrowed his, loaded it with 8 lb back of lump hickory mixed with same size bag of hickory chunks......the beauty of this thing is ya use fuel that is readily available at most large grocery stores.....you load the basket in the bottom, start 1/2 of a chimney with charcoal, get it gong then dump it on top, it burns from the top down, and this ran for around 18 hrs on this load.....we have the firebox at the bottom, then a diffuser with a water pan then 2 grates.......I am a fan.
