re: Bourbon Barrel Smoked Thanksgiving Turkey

Nah, charcoal and wood chunks. Once it burns off and cools down I will post some pics. But keeping with the homemade theme the fire basket is the bottom of an aluminum crawfish pot that developed a leak. Used some bolts to build legs to keep it from direct contact with the wood barrel. I used some heavy expanded metal to make a basket inside the pot. Line the basket with charcoal and chunks for smoke in the snake method. Gives me about 8 hours of 225 with two rows. Three rows boost Temps to 275-300. The wood barrel is so insulated it really doesn't take much to get it hot.

Very cool! What's your heating source? Electric burner in the bottom?
