You can do it with a couple of firebricks ($3/each), some heavy duty aluminum foil or layers of foil (pennies) and any old foil pan or pie tin as a drip catcher ($3 tops) and you have an instant smoker.
You could even just mound the coals in one corner of the grill and set a loaf pan full of water on the grate above the fire to work as a heatsink while you put food on the other corner of the grill.
I think Brad (OLS) has a larger grill and he just mounds coals on one side of his grill for smoking, no heatsink.
Just depends how big your grill is and how the air control is, what you can get away with. |
That's a great set-up. I've been wondering about smoking using a kettle. When you smoke on your OTS, do you light all of the coals or do you place some lit ones on top of some that aren't (minion mehtod). Just wondering how long you can smoke and how easily it is to control the temp.
