Anyone have any experience in building or using a clay pot smoker. I
have read some specs on Kamado cookers and DIY, e.g. building one
from ceramic clay pots for small trees.

The commercial kamados are temperature adjustable from 50F to over 800F.
They have a tremendous flexibility of function. The flower pot mimic might
be a way to do some cold smoking or maybe an extremely cumbersome way to
make small amounts of barbecue, but it is not the same as the BGE or Kamado
in terms of function. You have no practical way to use wood or charcoal,
which is what you want to use for bbq, not chips or sawdust.

I say stick to the brick smoker and use the flower pot for cold smoking
salmon or making jerky.
