Boiler/smoker

Mar 27, 2006 7 Replies

In the garden I have an old, and stunningly heavy, old Ideal boiler. It's something along the lines of this...


...but more square and not so old.



I would like to turn it into a hot smoker but I can't think of anything which I could molish a good smoke box out of to fit onto the 6" stub of chimney the boiler has on it.



I imagine some sort of metal cube with a lid would be suitable but I can't think of anything except bikky tins and they seem a bit floppy.



Any ideas?

Stainless steel stockpot from a kitchenware supplier (I got mine from Oxfam :-) although circular not square.

If you want to stack, then have a look at steamers too. Try nisbets.co.uk

For something bigger, search industrial estate skips for steel office cupboards or filing cabinets.

It's VERY spammy recently, I noticed. Woss going on there?

Not seeing that much usenet spam thesedays, perhaps plusnet filters it, If I see it at all it is often because some fool has replied to it

Everyone there seems to be fully occupied keeping a cascade going the past few days ...

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a 'smoker', and what do you intend to use it for? Is this something to do with fish?

It's used to make smoked food - pastrami, bacon, poultry, fish etc.

Yum.
