I am thinking about building a smoker for meats. I'm a pretty successful Deer hunter. I like doing most anything with venison. I would like to get into smoking meats. Pho. Cooking in the Kettle. Like to can meats and veggies/salsa. I have a 25 to 30 gallon cast iron kettle mounted on a tripod. We take it camping in the summer. I've made jambalaya that has fed 30 people. We have made popcorn that has fed the whole campground in which we were staying. My girls like going around and giving it out. Chicken Pho... Vietnamese noodle soup, Venison Bologna.. pretty tasty Scallop Quiche!!!...Kids ran the other way!! Pumpkin Cheesecake w/lime zest.... Guests left early!!! Over grilled venison. Now I know how they make shoe leather.
