Where there is meat there is Q. Can't wait to see the pics of all those different smokes of meat!!!

first cook

Nothing exotic yet just tried and true pork ribs

Takes longgggggggg time to heat up and stabilize. Must use charcoal. We loaded a charcoal wood mix. Toooooo much smoke. Will just burn charcoal now with chunks of wood in the ash pan for smoke

To answer the question on grates we used welded deck grating. Will post a photo next post.

Grating Material

as promised here is a photo showing the grating materiel. It is Carbon Steel 25 mm x 2.5 mm flat with 4 mm cross pieces. (deck grating)

Looks Awesome. I considered deck material for my pit as well but I couldn't find any that wasn't either painted or galvanized. That stuff is so stout you'll never have to worry about overloading it!

 

[dwbird]

you could try burning the paint off, build a fire and put your grates on it let it burn, or you could have them sand/bead blasted

Ours took on a really nice patina after burn out and first cook

 

[Coat]

I ended up going with expanded material and it's working great for my needs. If I build something more permanent I'll definitely go that direction. Hurry up and cook an emu.

Hunt

We are invited on a hunt this coming Sunday, anything goes LOL from guinea fowl to giraffe, although we are hoping for a Springbok

 

[ShencoSmoke]

thats slick, i bet your going to get long burn times with the insulation from the brick. did you add a grease drain?
