I figured I better make a little smoker so I can start making my own sausage. It turned out pretty well, I just need to mess with the latch on the door so it's easier to close. But all in all it should work out pretty well!

Good idea, let's see the inside of it.

Do you know Harlan ( Fuzzy ) that works for the Eller Corp out of Newman Lake ? Drives dump truck for them.

I gotta wait for the fire to die down a little then I'll get another picture. But I can't say that i know Fuzzy...

Very white trash

I was erring on the side of trashy with this one. ha. But heres a pic of the inside. I just lined the bottom with some slate i had laying around and set my fire pan on top. I'll put some briquettes and in the pan and use that instead of a hot plate.

He's got a beard that looks like ZZ Top almost and skinny. Around 55ish.

Tried my hand at smoking some sausage this afternoon. The hillbilly smoke house works like a charm. Here's the product, venison andouille.

Curious about doing this. When I saw the metal garbage cans at Lowe's I thought the same thing. How do you have the meat hanging though? Thought about installing racks and cutting the side of the can to get the meat in and out.

Thanks guys!
Kingpuck: I only use it for sausage and jerky. With sausage you have a big string of links twisted together, so I just drape them over the re-bar (same idea for jerky). As far as a door, I just take the lid off to pull the meat out, but i have a door in the bottom so i can keep the fire stoked. If you cut a door in you will have to reinforce it, because it doesn't maintain the shape of the can. Hope that answers your question.
