You will be the grill master and smoke king when you build your own flower pot smoker. Flower pot smokers are easy to build and can be made in a variety of sizes. While many people make smokers from metal chimney pipes; there are drawbacks. Some metals are toxic and should not be used for cooking, and determining the metal type can be tricky. Using a terracotta pot smoker, on the other hand, is safe and environmentally friendly.
Materials:
3 bricks
3 Terracotta pot feet
14-inch terra cotta pot
Round hotplate
14-inch terracotta flower pot bowl
Metal pie plate
Terracotta tray (optional)
Charcoal grill grate
Grill thermometer
Outdoor Extension Cord
Place three bricks onto a flat surface. Arrange the bricks into a circular pattern. Allow space between the inside area of the bricks, as well as a slight opening at the end of two of the bricks. The space between the bricks allows air to flow into the flower pot chimney smoker, and the small opening at the end of the two bricks will leave room for the hotplate's electrical cord.
Place the hot plate into the bottom of the 14-inch flower pot. Make sure that you thread the power cord through the hole in the bottom of the flower pot. Be careful to not damage the electrical prongs.
Set the flower pot feet onto the bricks, and carefully place the 14-inch flower pot onto the pot feet. This size of flower pot is rather heavy, so you may need to enlist help to get the pot situated perfectly onto the feet. Make sure that the hot plate power cord is able to fit between the bricks, and is not pinched between the bricks.
Add a metal pie plate onto the hot plate. This pie plate will hold your wood chips during the smoking process. If you have trouble locating a metal pie plate, you may also use a terracotta tray as an insert.
Insert the charcoal grate into the terracotta pot. It should fist securely onto the inside pot rim ledge. A snug fit will give the grate added stability.
Place the 14-inch round terracotta bowl onto the top of the 14-inch flower pot. Set a grill thermometer into the bowl's drainage hole.
Only plug the smoker into the outdoor extension cord when the smoker is in use.
