I haven't used it in a couple of years, but I have a smoker that I made
from a 35 gallon galvanized trash can (a new one). Not much to it; a
few 1/2" holes drill near the bottom for air, a paver (type of brick) in
the bottom to keep the firebox up off the galvanized metal, an iron
skillet for a firebox, and a grate suspended about halfway up.

I build a small smoky fire in the skillet using charcoal, apple or
hickory wood chunks, and oak sawdust. Or sometimes a mixture of pecan
shells and oak sawdust. I haven't tried corncobs yet, that's also
supposed to work. Adjust the draft by how tightly the lid is attached.
It doesn't get hot enough to actually cook the meat, so the meat
should be either fully cooked or properly cured before it goes in. HTH :-)
