Bump for Pumbaa.

Plus I got my smoked beers book by Ray Daniels and Geoffrey Larson (brewer of Alaskan Smoked Porter) today, so now I'll be a smoked beer guru.

Anyone see any deals on smokers?

Does it look like a good book? I will just have to buy it and see what it has to say. Good luck with the smoker. A friend has an electric unit that uses little pucks and automatically feeds them. It make great ribs and such but I think it cost a fortune. I have a Smokey Joe and its OK, I also have a great grill that is long and does a fair job at cool smoking. It is one of those horizontal tube jobs that you see at LOwes and such.

These actually work quite well if you're feeling handy...

A buddy of mine made one out of an old dishwasher too. He put a rheostat on the heating element and filled the bottom with woodchips... worked like a charm and it was toatlly white-trashy.

That was a great episode. Smoked fish is my weakness. Love it.

Well, once I find a smoker (or rig my charcoal grill to do it), I'm gonna brew this baby.

I cannot wait. I haven't been this excited for a beer since...the last time I posted a recipe I was excited about.

UGH. I'm outside smoking some grains right now, I smell like a bacon factory. I'm doing a mix of hickory and alder wood for smoking, I set up a makeshift cold smoker rig and I'm doing 3 pounds at a time for about an hour. The grain is turning out really nice, IMHO. It is really smokey--I'm wondering if it would be really easy to overdo the smoke when you do it this way. My inclination is to back down the 6 lbs. of smoked grain to 3. We'll see. My senses are totally shot right now because all I can smell is bacon. Which is a GOOD thing.

Here's the cold smoker (the box goes over the grain pan):

Are you sure you don't work for NASA? The last time I saw something like that was at Johnson Space Center.

Have you checked to see what kinda temps you're seeing in the smoke-box? I'd hate for you to break down the enzymes.

LOL....

Yeah, it is definitely cold smoking. The ambient air temp outside right now is 54° F--inside the box it is only 63° F. The actual smoker is reading 200° F.

This is really fun but honestly the smoke is starting to make me sick!!!!

If you really want smoke, peat smoked malt is the way to go. An oz. of that is about the same smoke as a pound of rauch.

Got some sausages in there?
