You should always, "season", your smoker. If your using a trash can, barrel, or any other makeshift smoker, it should be burnt out and scrubbed to remove any type of residue or coating and it improves the flavor of the meat.
Yes, I wondered this myself. It would be safer also if it was stainless steel too.
Yes SEASON EVERY THING YOU USE
This is absurd. I love the ingenuity and will be making my own very soon.
OMG, he's using a GALVANIZED can... (takes a puff of cigarette, tequila shot, and bong hit)
lmaoooo
Just watched the simplicity meet up with the functionality 😂😂 I loved it
Beautiful view of the forest you have there, bacon does look killer!
Thank you!!
Excellent DIY
Personally, I've been using an old water heater I found on the side of Lookout Road.
Brilliant! 😎
You can also do this with two cans, one with the middle circle cut out and some holes around the bottom and top, and the other one sits on top while a candle heats it
Don't buy a galvanized trash can to do this. Yes a smoker isn't likely to get hot enough to vaporized the toxic metals, but why risk it? Look up how Alton Brown made a smoker out of terracotta pots. The terracotta will never kill you. but it will cost you more than a $5 trash can.
I know your comment is a bit old but I saw that episode and I’m betting that’s where this guy got the idea. Good Eats!
What watt hot plate do you think I could get away with to do this in mid 80's degree weather ? I'd like it to be able to get the internal temp at least to 225.
thanks
This should have been in an episode of This old box from In Living Color.
Got a question - Do you add more water to the chips eventually? I know the water will evaporate. Would the lack of water prevent steam/smoke? Would the chips, without water, flame up?
They are presoaked, not soaking while cooking.
Interesting to see that they shadows have not changed over the 6 hrs cooking time
eistigi1
Good eyes 👀
Can this be used indoors next to an open window with a fan blowing?
How many times did add wood chips for that 7-8 hour smoke?
So it got hot enough to smoke wood but didn’t melt any of the plastic from the burner or your hands when you tried to take the lid off?
Is it safe to use a galvanized trash can? I am referring to the zinc coating which might come off with the heat and end up contaminating the food.
Zinc requires pretty high and sustained levels of heat to vaporize, over 900⁰ I believe... WAY hotter than you'd ever get this trashcan from a single household hotplate.
Don't use anything galvanized to cook with.toxic fumes my man
what was your temp on your heater
something is missing from this video,you just put the rack in the can,what was the rack sitting on??I didn't hear anything about tabs anywhere
The can is tapered, the rack is sitting against the edges of the can.
Will it give you the red ring
What setting for the hot plate high or medium
I thought the same thing, I'm thinking because it seem to get a little smaller on the lower part of the can than the top is, it could just be fitted snuggly against the inside.
Gonna try this. Got a question. How long would it take to smoke a picnic ham and how long does it take to cure meat using this method?
Zinc can get to 392 before it starts to melt. Vaporizes at 1600.
Um.....is that a galvanized can.....if so, do you need to get the toxic coating off?
Where to buy the round grill ?
What an excellent Idea
Temps under 700 degrees wont effect the zinc coating read a book somtime ya haters
I would still burn it in really good before I tend to eat anything that was smoked in it
This is better than my homemade smoker lol. Im using 2 aluminum foil pans. One for the bottom and one for the lid.
Good job. The less complicated the better. Have you tried laying a few bricks in the bottom of the can and setting the pan on the bricks? The idea is to ditch the hot plate and go natural. Light 4 pieces of charcoal and place in the pan. (Do not expose the galvanized trash can metal to high heat. It produces toxic gas.Use the bricks). Then put your water soaked chips over the coals. You'll get plenty of smoke trust me. Dribble a few drops of bacon fat on the wood if the meat isn't dripping fat.
I like this because the video is as long as it would actually take you to make lol
Awesome thanks!
Can you use a gas burner?
Is there any other way for burning the wood I can't get the electronic device you have there.
Kliment Li light a hand full off Cole and bern real wood
or you could use COAL and BURN real wood
Nice
The can is tapered. When the grill reaches the point inside the can that the can diameter is the same as the grill, the grill will not go down any further. No clips required. You are over complicating things.
If you don't puncture at least three more holes in it you're not going to get adequate air flow and you will burn up your hot plate very good idea though
awesome thx!
NOTICE: This guy can no longer answer your comments because he used galvanized to cook his food.
R.I.P. Mr.BetterbookTV man.
That's a good idea also I don't know how much metallurgy you have but galvanized is not your best idea I am sorry🎉
Awesome
So - apart from the hot thin metal of the tin all you've got to do is either snag the electric cord on the metal tab electrifying your smoker or even better pour water from your tin onto the electric ring. SO many ways to get hurt, it's kind of hard to decide which to do first! Oh, and heating up galvanised metal is dumb too - ask a welder!
Get over it. It takes temps at 600 degrees or higher to actually affect the zinc to cause any real harm. If you're a hypochondriac, then just fire up the can with no food in it to burn off anything first. All your objections seem to require stupidity to get hurt. But, apparently you want to decide which stupid act you want to do first. Go for it.
edharlingen75 If you don't think dragging an electric cable through a rough metal hole isn't stupid then...
Rob Hadfield Yeh also dont cross the road, their are fast big bits of metal just zooming about everywhere!
Oliver Palmer Very interesting, thanks for your feedback.
Who cares I'm hungry
Cool smoker could you do beef jerky in it
And what may I ask is wrong with an old trash can if it has been cleaned out? Did you not learn anything in grade school? Remember the old saying "Waste not, want not" or "One man's trash is another man's treasure." There is a time coming where your "throw it away & get a new one mentality is going to be fractured to the core. A time where the ability to adapt, modify & change will not be for saving a couple of dollars here & there but making the difference between living & dying.
I saw your video and I went to see how much it would cost to buy all that stuff. At Lowes it all, with tax cost $73.00. Its easier and better to just buy a real one at Lowes for $69.00 and it has all the coils and grease catcher and 4 shelves in side with a temperature gage. Just saying , and its nicer than yours.
It doesn't get hot enough to get the zinc going - temps are like 80 - 100 degrees.
this is the heat zone where bacterea grows.when holding meats to smoke at these temperatures you should use pink salt to perserv the product.
+Joe Longstaff I think he means Celcius
And some zinc coating go with your food
Nice.
Those trash cans are galvanized steal isnt that bad to use ?
I've been looking at making a smoker almost exactly the same way. Question for you, if I'm wanting to trying and slow cook meat in this at around 200-225 degrees, would the hot plate melt?
You can use cast iron instead
OMG Are you the Saul Goodman brother???
"Better call bacon"!!
Excuse me I couldn't resist;-)
I THOUGHT galvanized items were poisonous.
If he ditched the electric hot plate and just used a pan, some charcoal & his soaked wood shavings the cost would be dramatically less.Warning! Fire and galvanized metal make poisonous gas. He would need to either pre-burn the can or set bricks along the bottom and maybe two high around the inside edge. That should shield the metal sufficiently from the heat of the coals. There is something to be said about doing it yourself & the pride of accomplishment you can't get by going out & buying one.
Galvanization can be removed with a strong base (lye water, for example) and the steel underneath won't be corroded. Wear safety gear doing so.
Yaaaa. My fist thought ... Galvanized... Iv gotten sick once from welding around galvanized.. Not fun.. Good idea of set up ... But not materials.. City folks..
I don't have a metal trash can will it work with a plastic barrel
Yes that is the cheapest best way to go 👍👍🥩🥩
seems it would use tons of energy for 6 hours.
how is it sposted to breath..
what does the 'chip' mean? any one plz reply...
AJUMON 401 a little piece of something. Wood chips = little pieces of wood
deonisp thanks for the reply
deonisp does it need to be soaked?
mini smoker is $40 at lowes !
I definetly understand why you shouldnt/dint wanna use galvanized metal (im a welder...trust me i know about the hazards). But what if you used weber grill paint on the inside?
Weber kettle grills are coated with a baked on enamel. Traditional paint won't provide the same result.
I suppose if you clean it real good.. I still wouldn't feed it to company though.
waw thanks man
For the amount of money it takes to build one of these smokers you better off going to Walmart and buying a $30 smoker it's about the same price
I can get some old oil barrels
woah that cord is plastic and will melt. looks super sketchy.
Yeah cord melts and active wire is touching your metal can... yikes
don't do this
I've got the same question !!!! Not a great idea.
Please PLease do not do this. I have been so sick from welding galv. metal.
Me too I had to spend a night in the hospital from welding galvanized metal
6 hours of smoking with no door for you to feed chips??? what about temperature?? makes no sense to me at all...thanks anyway for the idea but you need a lot more to do and have a good smoker
I'd say the results speak for themselves.
ممتاز من جديد 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
And yes you will release some of the coating. You will you will you will... Again you will. Not a good idea to do this
I just hope you use a new trash can!
this looks all bad idk I'm not a scientist but what if something dripped off the meat on the burner
You'd get smoke and more flavour!
I don't trust this. Too dangerous. Why not use your grill instead?
HaHa, is he on a rooftop in a city?
These guys are good at getting views and analytics , but not at cooking
Pretty sure this isn’t food safe. The galvanized metal is treated with a coating that is toxic. Please do not cook or store food in these types of cans. I love the idea but not safe.
Has you died yet from the galvanised coating you left in the cooking chamber burning off during a cook and poisoning the meat ?
That's a fire hazard....
So carcinogenic, so delicious...
sitting on a plastic table.... make sense
Thanks for watching! If you want to learn more check out the book link in the description.
You don't have to buy a smoker but a Hot plate?? Why don't you just fuking buy a smoker?
I got a smoker for $18 at Home Depot on clearance.. a lot cheaper and better than this shit..
do you have a pic of it ?? would like to see it
Rip sharpness of knife you will be missed because this dude probably does not know how to sharpen a knife.
hh x
Zinc and galvanized metal is highly toxic... Just saying... but this dudes got glasses so he's prolly got it handled
