Trash Can Low Temp Smoker

- I made this simple smoker out of basic supplies you should be able to pick up from any hardware store. This is an unsanctioned build as always be careful and have fun! Imagine reading very fine print: " Unsanctioned fabrication isn't responsible for your actions! ;) "
The intake pipe correction you made gave me the inspiration to modify my Oklahoma Joe Bronco. Now blows clean blue smoke. Thank You Sir!
It a 31 gal. galvanized trash can. I made it to use wood and charcoal. I love the taste of it! The fire plate is just a metal 16" pizza pan. That i made places to move the fire plate up and down, and a water drip pan. This Smoker, not only smokes, but grills, and can make pizza, in 16" pizza pans! ITS A GREAT PIZZA OVEN TO. I have to buy some 18" round grates, I have place i can put rebars, to hang things in it to > I love it ♥ THE BEST ALL AROUND SMOKER, GRILL AND PIZZA OVEN EVER👍👍 This will replace EVERY COOKER ON MY PATIO > THE WORK HORSE OF THEM ALL 👀 EVERY THING IN ONE CHEAP SMOKER 👍👍 WOW
I had the same problem with the air valve being up high like that when I made one of these a long time ago. I had to keep the ball valve down on the ground for it to pull fresh air in.
I didn't think of the meat hooks though. I used a grill. I like this idea. Next time I make one of these I'll try this meathook design.
55 gallon Ugly drum smoker is completely safe, there are a number of videos on youtube showing how to do this.
Ha! Clever cheap smoker. Interesting work.
I can see u getting zink poisoning from the galvanizing.
That's the first thing I noticed when I saw the trash can. The fumes from heated galvanized items are highly poisonous
@Edward MacMillan vaporized Zinc is certainly dangerous at it's boiling point at over 1600 degrees Fahrenheit, but that's Very far away from my 150- 250 degree smoking temperature. What's worse is how nasty nonstick coatings are and most people use them without even knowing, Thanks for watching!
@@UnsanctionedFabrication I once gave myself metal fume fever while making something from galvanized steel - I knew to be careful but got distracted when trying to solder an awkward joint.
I just did a quick search because I vaguely recalled it taking a lower temp that that, and saw 392°F as the recommended maximum temp for hot dipped galvanized. I can't vouch for that number (was just the first result), but consider checking if you think it will get close to that.
Nicely built, regardless.
Even duct tape won't fix stupid!
UnsanctionedFabrication what’s the temp at the coals... probably high enough
I know what I building this weekend thanks 😊 awesome idea and awesome video 👍

I wouldn’t recommend this build. Trash cans are zinc treated which IS NOT FOOD SAFE. The design is sound but use a food safe container.
I had a tent smoke sluice pipe> i put it on the led rather than the side. Reason i want the smoke and heat go all the way up and out of the pipe! It has a can with a hole over it to adjust the heat, and smoke/ and to help put it out. I put a handle on the can where it can be twisted around for my settings
Alton Brown uses a 110v hotplate under a pie tin that holds his wood. if you do that, you won't have to remove the grate to tend your fire.
hope that helps.
Brilliant idea thanks for commenting!
That’s a real man
Galvanized material gives off toxic fumes!!!!!!
Galv. is safer than Teflon pans! Zinc burns at over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit and Teflon puts out toxic fumes at 550 degrees Fahrenheit. Smoking is low temperature, grilling is high temperature, and not to point out the obvious but cooking with molten zinc at 1000 degrees would be bad on many levels!!!! Thanks for watching
@@UnsanctionedFabrication and water is wetter than a rock... nobody’s talking about Teflon.
@@joshuasprinkles3490 He's referring to teflon coated pans. Honestly I would just do this exact same build but with a food grade 55gal drum.
Awesome my friend!!!! Love it
May I know how many litres has the bin? Is it 90l ?
Thanks for asking it is a 31 gallon / 117 liter can. But the bigger is always better!
Wait wouldn't that be bad to cook with that is like galvanized right ?or am I wrong
It could be dangerous if you get the smoker to over 800 degrees to vaporize the zinc. If you cook at that temp I don't know what would be more dangerous your food or the zinc! ;) For better temperature control I used an electric hot plate with a pan of wood chips, and so far so good.
Serve each dish with a gallon of milk
How is this smoking? Where is the heat element? Skipped over some major components. I’ve been unable to find a self smoking garbage can.
I’m using an electric hot plate with a pan of small wood chips or wood pellets on top. So far it’s very easy to control the temperature and smoke levels. Thanks for watching!
Make a lil drop pan thing from a gsrden trowel or empty 1 pound oropane or soray can to feed it w a mig welder and a few cuts and a plunger handle or something
Are galvanized trash cans food safe?
Absolutely not.
Zinc is very safe for human consumption, and your technically not cooking on zinc. But burning zinc at over 800 degrees Fahrenheit to the point of vaporizing (and inhaling the fumes) is Dangerous, but if you're cooking at that temperature nobody should be eating your food anyway. This is a low temperature smoker, not for BBQ or grilling. Thanks for watching, btw the channel isn't called "Mainstream Fabrication"! :)
Yes for cold and dry food but when heated up releases zinc coated on can to food you can get zinc poisoning however how hot the can has to be to release zinc from can I don't know
What’ are you using to burn with
First version was a small pan of wood chips, then I upgraded to an electric hot plate for controlled heat and a pan of wood chips on top of it for the smoke.
@@UnsanctionedFabrication what is better hot plate or Charcoals
@@Followthemoney100 I preferred the hot plate since it was easy to control the cooking temperature, But everybody has their own style!

What temperature can you get this to? I'm trying it in the highest I can get it to is about 160.
If you’re looking to get it hotter you’re gonna need more air intakes and open the lid more to exhaust the smoke. But if you burn too hot it will vaporize the zinc which is not healthy! I’m sure you can find videos on how to burn off the zinc, if your looking to get it hotter. I also Converted it to electric with a $20 hot plate on the bottom and I used a pan of wood chips on top, that gave me a steady temperature and all the smoke that you can handle! Happy tinkering!!!
@@UnsanctionedFabrication ahhh. Is it safe to keep a hot plate in there? I thought the more intakes would actually make it cooler. I guess it's a balance, huh? What temperature does zinc start burning off? I want to keep it under 250. Will that be a problem? Thanks for the response.
@@ryanmccain1158 check out the electric version. I’m sure the temp can go higher than 225deg if I insulated the outside of the can. th-cam.com/video/tnsaXJLCk30/w-d-xo.html
Awesome 👍
Galvanization is poison
Love it
hope that doesn't have a clear nylon finish on it. you'll be sick. oooops
You are such a fucking genius!
Only if you like the taste of Galv.
terrible idea. this trash can puts off bad chemicals not made for human consumption. terrible...
Can you smoke corn in it
It'll smoke, but it's not hot enough to cook. Just be careful with this type of setup, if you want to grill / cook in it you need season it with a very hot fire to burn out the zinc.
Lots of comments here about cooking in galvanized containers... You are NOT going to get zinc poisoning smoking in a trash can. It's fine.
Wow galvanized trash can. Never do this
Why not, it has a safer cooking temperature than Teflon pans, which put out toxic fumes at 550 degrees compared to vaporized zinc at over 1000... "Knowing is half the battle!" ~GI Joe
@@UnsanctionedFabrication man I don’t cook with teflon. I sure as shit wouldn’t cook in a galvanized trash can unless it was the end of the world.
You could make a tidy fortune selling these at Wasteland Weekend.
