    Let us know how you get on - been thinking about converting an old fridge into a fish smoker.
    It's one I recovered that was dumped, and its currently being used for Delaneys water trough

    Smoking meat takes a long time and a lot of patience to get it just right.But it's so worth it :D Those two cuts of meat should be easy enought to get from a good butcher, and will take 12-14 hours to smoke. So if you want something for dinner you'll need an early start. Use hickory wood for best results and invert in a BBQ thermometer with a probe that you can insert into the meat. It will let you know when it's cooked correctly.

    Hi,

    My mom smoked numerous chickens this summer using a simple Webber BBQ. There was a spit roasting type grill appliance with the BBQ and she used this and charcoal. Also you can buy wood chips that you soak in water for 30 mins then drain the water and add the chips to the coal to make it extra smokey!

    A full chicken took bout 2 hours and was lovely! Ham took bout 2 hours too and was also really nice.

    If anyone has the equipment to do this I would heavily recommend trying it. Takes bout 15 mins to set up and well worth the effort!

    I've a cuban mate who cooks a lot with shoulder of pork. He insists on melting some butter with spices like smoked paprika, cayenne pepper etc. Then he uses a syringe and injects the meat with the butter mix to keep it moist during roasting. I'm sure the same would apply with smoking
