Hi All,
I have a concrete charcoal pit in the backyard and was wondering how to cover it in order to smoke a pork butt. It's a monstrosity with a grill rack in front over the charcoal pit area and a smoke stack on the back. I like to grill on it and plan to update it with stone work sometime in the future. But I just want to find some way to smoke meat on it. Any help would be appreciated. Paul. |

It would think it would simply be a matter of finding some type of container to set over the meat so that the smoke can get trapped in the area surrounding the meat. A large disposable aluminum tray from the grocery store? |

A large disposable aluminum tray from > the grocery store? The smoke has to flow over the meat, not be trapped around the meat. Still, this comment is basically valid - with the exception that the pit cover should contain at least a 3" (preferably a 4") chimney. Grant |

Cover it with a piece of 1/4" steel plate. Cut to fit the opening, with hinges fastening it to the side. If that'll make it too shallow to contain the meat, you'd have to make yourself a hood, as you might expect. Got a picture; for a better more accurate response? Pierre |
