I smoked three bags of malt yesterday and made my entire neighborhood smell great.  The box has enough trays to hold about 50 pounds of malt when full.  The fire is far enough away that the smoke is pretty cool when it gets to the box.

Sweet!  Love the setup.

I smoked 4 lbs on Friday.

You did three bags!   

You like smoked beer, I think.

What kind of wood?

[denny]

I tried smoking malt, but it kept falling out of the rolling papers...

[jeffy]

Alder wood.  It's for a friend of mine at a commercial brewery.  I get to help brew seven barrels of smoked beer next weekend.

I had the same problem. Now Irish Moss......

NIIICE set up. So is that what you also use to cold smoke meats and such? What a clever and simple idea!

I thought the same thing when looking at it.

Do this I must.

Could pack that bugger full of Bluefish filets and smoke em up.

Nice setup,  any objections to moving to equipment?  This kinda fits both places.

[jeffy]

Yeah I guess it does fit in "equipment" better.
I've smoked cheese in it without melting.  Temperature inside on Sunday was about 95, which was just a tad warmer than ambient.

So, a hole saw to the weber? Do you think it would work just thru the vent already there? Maybe some magnets and a gasket or something along those lines?

[bonjour]

That would give you warm smoke,  this is a cold smoker, great for fish

I believe he is speaking of using the aluminum vent for the smoke as opposed to drilling a hole in a perfectly good weber top.

This Weber top with the hole in it was from an old rusted out grill.  The hole was where the vent was originally.  I replaced the bottom with an almost new one on Craig's List for $35, which came with a new lid.
