I finally broke out my smoker and i'm doing my first pork butt of the year. This was one of the things I looked forward to the most while I was deployed and now that the time is here, I thought I would share my excitement with everyone. I finally got a marinade injector and did a couple of mods to the smoker. Right now I have a 10 pound butt sitting in the smoker and I can't wait till its done.

here's a pic of my smoker in action.

I'm using Oak for the heat and pecan and apple wood for the flavor.

Looks awesome. What's that in the upper right corner? part of the grill?
[Reply]

That looks mighty tasty. :-)

Looks like the bottom of the stack, as seen in the original picture of the smoker. :-)

Looking great! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

YUMMY!!!!

Earl....

Looks like the same grill/smoker I use, but maybe the smaller size, and mine is at least 20 years old! What is the square "box" appendage on the top of the firebox? And, on the pic with the butt, what is the galvanized "duct-looking" pipe to the right of the butt, inside the smoker box? The "duct-pipe" makes me wonder about putting an inside extension DOWN from my smoke stack to force more smoke and heat to the inside, by lowering the exit level for the smoke/heat! Wondering if this is what the pipe in yours is for, and if so, was it stock, or something you added?

WOW, in 3 hours... :-) :-)

You are correct!!!

I added the extension to the smoke stack to keep more heat and smoke in the smoke box. I bought it at ACE Hardware for like $2. The square thing on the firebox was there when i bought it, dont really know what its for, but it doesn't get hot so i guess you could put things on it if you wanted to.
