Anyone had Grunty's BBQ ribs? Homemade smoker : )

[_Stretchie_]

I know several of you on here have tasted GruntyGiggles' slow cooked ribs but we now have a way to make them EVEN better.

We made a smoker this weekend whilst Essex was being terrorised

It's an 'Ugly Drum Smoker'

It was mint. It involved the use of:
- A grinder with flap disk
- A 28mm hole saw
- Pipe nipples (meheheheh NIPPLES....)
- Brass ball valve
- Welder
- Destruction of a brand new £50 BBQ from B&Q
- Setting fire to stuff
- Consumption of beer
- Consumption of food that had been slowly cooked with hickory smoking chips
- MASSIVE smile as we got nomalicious on it's ass

Here's the higlights:






Meheheheeh NIPPLES....


Fire, UG

Thats ace, I'm sooooo hungry now

Ooooo, me likey lots!

I've got a dustbin and chiminea I use for cold smoking but I see a bit of fettling coming on for hot smoking.

Where did you get the thermometer from?

Oh, and recipe for the ribs please!

Pete

Had some from my home made smoker too yesterday 5 hours cooking and nearly falling off the bone.


Not got the welding equipmet for the barrel so converted an argos one to fit old brick built in one. Resuls nom nom.

Bluepete I got a temp guage from BBQ spare parts .co.uk @ £8.50 + p&p its about 20 degrees F out though.

Cool design, but I'd think about replacing the shelf with a circular rail and some butcher's hooks so you can hang more stuff in there at one time. Or maybe I'm just greedy.

Well, I can't share my actual rib recipe...Stretch has just said a big fat NO, wo you can either order some from me and just cover cost & postage OR...I can give you just a basic rub recipe. My rub took me 6 years to get to where it is now, so if you like making your own stuff, I could give you the basics for you to play around with

Well, we have an even better plan than butchers hooks, but also, being enormous, this will eventually have two shelves, so briskets, pork butts etc can go one and ribs and chicken etc on the other.

I do not understand this notion of greedy

I just looked on eBay to find one, if you can get it a thermometer with a long probe (snigger) would be better but this will do for now. Cost about £5

Not a chance on the ribs recipe I'm afraid, she's going to make me millions off the back of that

Ha haa, as Grunty said, there will be a second 22.5" grate underneath it as phase two of the build, also planned is a base with wheels to move it around, a shelf on both sides and hooks for hanging cooking implements and sharp stuff, also, and I think this is the crowning glory, a mounted bottle opener like you get behind bars, you know, for the chef, I'm sure once I get the hang of it I'll find it very hard work putting meat on, twisting the ball valve and leaving for several hours.

Oh, and possibly a Pyrex dish viewing plate so you can see how it's going without opening the lids after all "if you looking, you're not cooking"

We've just put this on

Mmmmmmmmm
