homemade smoker, cooker, griller, BBQ, prototype (NZ)

[amerikaiscommunist]

YOu have those cookouts to get girls there and get them drunk and bang them you bastard.

[TheVittleVlog]

Nice work, looks great!!

[motudave]

well the days of cooking under ground have gone.

[xelpmok]

if you have a lot of meat to smoke (like a whole heap of polish sausage) you can also use a steel barrel with the bottom cut off and place it over a tunnel dug in the ground which goes to a pit fire half a metre away. then all you do is fire it all up, hang the meat off sticks and put a heavy sheet over the top of your barrel...

[twingoschulz]

I have look your video and i have replika your idea. Verry nice. The 1st 4 fishes smokes are beautyfull.

As an American BBQer, I applaud your efforts at the homemade smoker. The Carolina-style end fire box smoker is hard to beat though. I built mine out of an old air compressor tank for the cooker and a 1/2 inch thick big tire wheel hub for the fire box. The thicker the metal, the more heat is held in; hence, the smaller the fire and the less heat lost when checking meat. My optimum cooking temp is 180. Hickory wood (which I understand might be scarce in NZ) is used. Good Luck

back in the day we used to use a bucket with a few holes in and a rack from the oven :)

Good job Rich, your bacon looks lovely - and Im English, we know good bacon, not that frazzled American crap. What temp does that run at when its smoking? I love to BBQ ribs, brisket, chikens and stuff at around 130 degrees C, so would yours work like that if the smokebox was taller? Be good to know and if you do then post another vid mate.

[richardwadd]

@piccanninni About 50 degrees when smoking the bacon, I can increase the temp with more beads and roast meats.

I have a different mesh set up with multi levels for roasting

[willycullen1]

Top job Richard.

[00Mandingo00]

Funny how people think smoking meat needs to be so complicated. Looks like what you have here gets the job done.

[sunfoxwow]

Just love that Kiwi ingenuity! 5 * (Any of your neighbours having trouble starting their car ?? )

[pyroman675]

add a small latch to the door and maybe grind the door and frame smooth with a ruff grinding wheel and my be add a small air vent

[richardwadd]

holes in the bottom are the vents.

[pyroman675]

oh i thought that was the paint

[jimbob73514]

Much too inefficient fire as it smokes far too much you need to sort the air flow out... Remember a smokey fire is a bad fire for the unrelenting tree huggers and i've seen those crazy fools kill for less than that!! forget my lesson at your peril, Beril...

[richardwadd]

I am smokeing the meat

[Irisheyescu2]

I guess rednecks aren't limited to the United States.

[richardwadd]

If a red neck is someone who cooks their own food then long live the redneck

[JeepRuby101]

This is great!  A+!

[FrizzleFry117]

English bacon is so superior...but wtf is the deal with that crap LP Tank Smoker...get real mate!

[richardwadd]

The pommes have been making bacon for centries which is why they are the best at it, no disputeing that.

All of these basic skills are threatened by numerous modern day innfluences, I'm just keeping it real.

Dont underestimate the "price is right" factor my friend.

[richardwadd]

That is a real LPG tank

[irvinekid]

wtf go steal a bbq

[richardwadd]

go back to your computer games and leave this to the grownups

[irvinekid]

computer games? where did that come from? seems like you have them on your mind even when cooking bacon you game adict.

[mahsalti]

hey! make sure about the metal type you are using! some metals are unhealthy and produce toxics...

just a reminder for some here!

[devastaticon]

just because you made it at your home doesnt mean it's "homemade" mr. welder

[richardwadd]

yes it does

[johnsonbach]

ok thanks

[johnsonbach]

what do you burn in the burner to get the smoke??

[richardwadd]

Add small sticks of a fruit tree which have been soaking in water, or an off cut of manuka/te tree

[jimbob73514]

People, this man burns people 16 a day and thats a quiet lazy day... his village used to have 384 resident's and now? 28 yes just 28 left just so he can smoke his meat... can't believe Arnie or Barrack lets him get away with it??

[richardwadd]

I use heat beads for heat and wood for smoke, I had an incident years ago with charcoal, never again, never

[LucLeFou]

care to elaborate?

[richardwadd]

yeah the charcoal made the food taste like the smell of burning coal.

I think it cooked too hot as well

[lmyhoosier]

never use charcoal for smoking, only wood

[33200]

its called

tin can with lid that has holes in it

AXE sprayed at bottom , net at middle, couple of sticks , and meat on net

IGNITE

[juveniledmsss]

suck nutz prick

[juveniledmsss]

hey man, jus wondered if grease and muck builds up while smokin/slow roasting bones down into the smoke chute? or do u have some sort of drip tray? if u get my drift? thanx again

[richardwadd]

The grease/fat usually runs down the lower pipe which adds that "spit roast" flavour and a smell to die for!!

During long smoking sessions I use a tray containing water at the bottom to keep the smoke moist

[juveniledmsss]

ok.. thanx for your help... will show you my finished product

[burns208]

classic Mr Wadd!!!!! looks like your ready to go into space with that thing

[numbereightyseven]

After watching this for about one minute, I thought this could only be done by someone from New Zealand. Only then did I see the "NZ" in the title. Good on ya.

[beerbrewer737]

Very nice! It goes to show: you don't need a fancy smoker to make great "q".

[bobsrotor]

"el primo, it dosent get any better than that team"

too much bro

[richardwadd]

I just put in one hand full for the bacon smoking, and a piece off manuka wood 8inchs round and 1 inch thick for the fish etc

[EbolaV1rus]

Genius!! Wow that works fantastic! Did you wind up having to add more apple wood? I love your idea, thanks for sharing!

[ronaldsmusicfactory]

what temt can you keep that thing at?

[richardwadd]

For the smoking bacon I keep it at 40-50 deg c,

For smoking fish its about 80-90 deg.

For the roasting it about 180-200ish, I find the higher the temp the harder it is to keep constant

[richardwadd]

-Cold smoking

-Hot smoking

-Roasting

[juveniledmsss]

in your opinion what would be the optimal temp for slow roasting knuckle beef bone's for my dogs using your method! really awesome smoker you made! thanks in advance.

[richardwadd]

I slow roast pig trotters and pork knuckles at about 150, I want a hot burst at the start to crisp the skin then taper the temp down to about 150 for a couple of hours

[juveniledmsss]

ok... really helpful info that is very appreciated. does this method relieve alot of the moisture out of the bones?

[bobsrotor]

Yummo!! to good bro, that bacon

[bobsrotor]

sounds like you have a baby in that cooker man!!

[richardwadd]

Enjoy shotgun,when I first saw your beast I was contimplating a horizontal cook box but I opted for vertical purly for ease of storage

[shotgunbikes]

hey Richard thanks for the video comment on my pit. I stole your idea and know have a burner box on the bottom of my pit

[bobsrotor]

NASA has seen it aye

[motudave]

wow i thought i watching the world greatest invention programme.. awsome stuff man... cant wait 2 taste smoked moa and kowala in that rocket ship u have made :-))
