Being a Texan by birth and heart there are few things I love more than genuine hardwood slow smoked bar-b-que.
Of course living in Ashland makes it VERY difficult to find good bar-b-que, or ANY bar-b-que for that matter.
I have learned how to do a very decent Texas style Bar-b-que brisket on the Weber grill, but it is labor intensive and the results are inconsistent do to the poor heat regulation of the Weber and the meat being too close to the heat.
A few year ago I saw Alton Brown build a smoker using some terracotta planter pots and an electric hot plate and I was intrigued.
I haven't had the time or resources really to work on one the past couple of summers but I found an electric hot plate at Goodwill last week that looked perfect for the project so I decided to go for it this year.
I pretty much just need a thermometer, some wood chips, and some MEAT and I'll be already to go!
Here's my progress so far.
Here is the Good Eats episode that inspired the project.
