Does anyone have any sites for brick smokers plans.

I would like to
build a brick smoker but also have a natural gas burner and/or a
small jet burner to assist in the fire box for my oak, wood, coal,
and temperature control. My father built a brick smoker when I was a
kid, and later in life as a young adult we purchased a home in
Odessa, Texas that had a brick pit large enough to do a small hog.
This was just a large brick firebox with a grate and a massive steel
lid on a cable hinge. There was an opening (with a cast iron door)
on the side to add wood and to clean the fire box. I miss my brick
smokers.

I go through smokers about every for or five years here on the gulf
coast. Burners go out, walls rust, just the standard gulf coast
cancer all metal suffer from here from high temperatures and to just
exposure of our weather.

A kamado-style pit will do much the same.
