Too Windy to Fish so..... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I use to make smokers out of refrigerators way back then and just use an electric burner with a small pan for chips. Cost hardly anything to make.

I have competed in bbq competitions and like the Weber Smoky Mountain Smoker. I also love my homemade 55 gallon drum vertical smoker even more.

You can make a 55 gallon drum smoker for about 100-150 and it will use a 22" weber cooking grate.

The Weber Smoky Mountain comes in two sizes 18 and 22 inches.

They go for 299 and 399 respectively.

Smoked fish is best with heavily oily fish. I like yellowtail but not smoked usually but some like it so your taste may vary.

If anyone wants plans I will try to dig up a post to make the 55 gal. drum smoker.
