Hittin' the Smoke Again

I built another smoker. Finally. The last smoker I built was stolen, which is simultaneously galling and flattering. But now, the trashcan smoker rides again!

I originally got the idea for a trashcan smoker from Cruftbox. The problem I found with the hotplate heat source was that there was no way to get my smoker to a solid 220 degrees F. I couldn't even reach 160 except in the summertime. So I decided to go with a propane heat source. The first time, I gutted a fish fryer. This time, I used a burner/turkey fryer kit.

Wayne Myer Trashcan Smoker v3 is a little more involved than the first iterations. I'll give you the full rundown and my general guidelines tomorrow. But I'll leave you with a pic in the meantime.
