Can't wait to use it.
The Specifications:
It's a 31-gallon steel garbage can with 1/4" x 4" machine screws threaded into it (reinforced with large fender washers inside and out) 16" from the bottom of the can. An 18 1/2" Webber grate rests on these screws. I poked a hole just below the grate level and inserted a foot-long deep-fryer thermometer. The heat comes from an electric hot plate. I will probably use an iron skillet full of hickory chips, and a pie tin suspended above that to deflect any drippings off of the heat. Fine-tuning may be required, but I'm generally optimistic about the design.

She's beautiful. Tell us more- what'd you use for a heatin' element and all?
Brilliant! absolutely brilliant!
I'm on my way, get some pork smoking on it ASAP. I've seen a similiar design that used a smoky joe type charcoal grill to throw off some heat but what I like about the heating element you have is the temperature should be cooler. This might allow you to cold smoke which is perfect for cheese, fish, or smoking your own bacon. Bacon.... (Homer Simpson drooling noises)
Alton would be so proud.
Hey, that thing looks pretty darn cool! Yes, Alton Brown would be proud!
I, of course, have to show you my own cardboard box smoker... hope you don't mind...
