  • With just two foil roasting pans, some metal skewers, aluminum foil, and a small cooling rack, I was able to build a Portable DIY Smoker and test it. Did it work? Have a look and check out the Tri Tip I cooked on my little creation :)
    This sort of project would allow you to smoke cuts of meat, including chicken, beef, and sausage, if you are at the beach or on a camping trip, without the bother of bringing along a larger grill or smoker.

      To be honest, I truly was uncertain about how it would work. I mean, the design is straightforward, but the process and the result was very satisfying. And tasty :)

    Totally Genius! It reminds me of when I started seriously fishing as a hobby. I went out and bought the best of the best equipment, I mean just went all out! Well on a fishing trip, I was out there and I mean I just wasn't catching ANYTHING! Well I looked across the pond and I saw a little guy (maybe 10 or 11), fishing with like a $5 Zebco and some worms or grasshoppers he caught there in the grass. And this kid was catching ALL morning! It was impressive. It was also very humbling, and from that moment on I realized (and this goes with almost anything), it's not about what you got, it's how you use it! That little "makeshift" smoker is pure genius!

    Great idea! I was looking for something to use while camping. I'm going to try your design, but leave out everything on the charcoal side, drop wood chips there, toss the whole thing on a Coleman 2 burner stove, and just heat the side under the wood chips. If all goes well it should make for nice apple wood smoked tri tip.
    Thanks to those that suggested binder clips. Great idea

    Saw this last night so I had to run out to the dollar store and give it a whirl myself. More or less followed your method, the only changes were that I bought a 6 pack of binder clips from said dollar store to help keep the lid tight, which actually help quite a bit, and I also just bought a cheapo cookie cooling rack rather than use skewers. In my case I had to cut the rack to size, but it was VERY easy and didn't require anything elaborate...just a pair of tin snips and then a bit of wire to hold it back together after it was cut. You could honestly have just bent the rack back and forth on the side of a picnic table if you had to, and re-attached it with paper clips. The whole thing took maybe 20 mins. Anyway started it up with 10 or 11 briquettes and had the same problem, way too much heat, so I backed it off to about 8-9 and got it down to a relatively useable 285. Still on the hot side but not a huge deal. Let them burn about as far as they'd go, and I did add a couple of briquettes near the end as the temp was beginning to taper off. Total cook time was nearly an hour on the dot for a ~1.25 lb chunk of sirloin. Gonna bring this camping later in the summer for sure! Might try sort of a "snake method" approach, only light maybe 5 briquettes to start but arrange them in a row rather than just light the whole thing at once.
    Anyway great project, super easy to make, and easy to operate! Fun stuff.

    Can I use 2 stainless steel pans welded together to create a facsimile of your smoker? It would have most/all your smoker's features without the waste. The aluminium pan although light will have to be remade. The one done with two welded stainless pans would last a lot longer and would only be a tad heavier than the you you created with the disposable aluminium pan. I am not an inventor so I don't know.

      Interesting idea. I'm not a fabricator but it might work even a little better with solid metal instead of the aluminum I used.

    I am looking at such a thing to SMOKE / PRESERVE meat with, not so much to cook /BBQ with. Maybe you could do something pertaining to preserving meat. I do know one has to keep the temp low but not sure how low, maybe just enough to start and keep the smoke going. How many briquettes one would need? How long to smoke a 3-1/3 lbs of meat? I know that it will shrink during the process. Maybe a 3-1/2 lb would end up being 2lbs.Don't know. Still enjoyed the video. Thanks...Jack

    I am no chef but if you are making a smoker, why are you so focused on the temperature? Seems like you are making an oven to me as a smoker cooks with smoke and not heat and takes just a little bit longer than and hour and five minutes if I am not mistaken.

      Smokers also cook with heat. The smoke is mainly for flavor.
