I'm going camping for a few weeks and want to bring one of those alton
brown terracotta flowerpot smokers, unfortunately like I said I'll be
camping and so there won't be any electricity. Any smoker I use will
have to be run on wood and charcoal only. So what's the deal? Is there
any way to use one of those things without any electricity?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but why not just bite the
bullet and buy a Weber Smokey Mountain, then you're covered
whether your camping or home?

Because I'm spending all my money on camping equipment, and don't want
to waste $100+ on something as unimportant as a smoker.

I don't know anyone with a Smokey Joe, so that idea's out. Anybody got

Yeah. Cook over an open fire. If you can't (or won't) buy or borrow
anything, and you reject any ideas given, just cook over the open
fire. That's what was done before Alton Brown and clay pots, before
WSMs, Smokey Joes, and even before TFM's concrete block fire pits.

Well, real advice has been given, and you've been an ungrateful boorish lout
about it all. You can dig a pit in the ground then ring the pit with rocks.
In another fire ring, burn down local wood (preferably hardwood) into coals.
Shovel the coals into the pit. Then prior to placing a cheap grate on top of
the rocks, jump in and go to hell.

Some folks are just big weenies.

As usual Dave. You speak the truth. Personally, I agree
witht the troll and "weenie" sentiments.

He's been given good advice if he want's good q'ing
equipment. If he was REALLY looking the instructions for
AB's cooker, all he had to do was go to the FN website and
do a search. Obvious troll. Sorry I fell for it.

You ask for advice in your very first post to this advice-rich and very
knowledgeable ng, and then you insinuate that the very reason you
posted here is not important to you (So why did you waste our time in
the first place?!) Then, if that's not enough, you imply that the

Don't let the boys get you down. They can get a little testy this time
of year. You can make fine barbecue with an inexpensive rig.

You can use a regular terra-cotta pot, though as Steve pointed out, it
might not last a long time. If you are camping, however, you might not
want to use a terra-cotta pot for another reason -- it is heavy. The
real purpose of the "pot" is just to insulate the hotter inside from
the cooler outside. For camping, go with an inexpensive styrofoam
cooler. Lots of times you can find them for free, and grocery stores
often throw them away. Use bleach to clean them if they need it.

They will melt, of course, if they get too hot, so you wouldn't want
to use hot-burning charcoal or hardwood. Something fragrant that
doesn't make a big fire is the best choice. Personally, I like to use
pine needles, though I imagine that any softwood bark would work OK
too. Stay away from anything soaked in creosote. Some people like to
use chicken feathers for smoke, but I don't care for it myself.
Whatever you choose for fuel and smoke, don't use too much -- a little
goes a long way. You'll need to change the needles several times, like
AB did in the show where he built another smoker out of a cardboard
box. He was using sawdust instead of pine needles, but it's the same
idea. His cardboard box was also the same idea as using styrofoam,
except that it isn't a good an insulator.

The key to this approach is to keep the fire small, so you don't want
to be cooking large pieces of meat. Here's where spending a little
money will pay dividends. I'd use the best cuts you can afford. I once
had some Kobe beef cooked for fourteen hours in a flower pot and it
was just about the best steak I've ever eaten. A pork tenderloin would
be good too. Ribs wouldn't be a good choice typically becuase they are
long and narrow and wouldn't fit the cooler properly. You don't want
the fire too close to the edge.

Parboiling the cuts will help them cook faster and more evenly. All
you really need for a rub is salt, pepper and ketchup. but some people
like to use mayonaise too. It's a matter of taste.

I hope you enjoy your camping trip.

Grill? I don't want a girll, you ****ing idiot. And besides, the
original post - which you completely ignored - was how to get a
terracotta smoker to work without an electric hotplace. I didn't ask
what kind of Smokey Joe to buy instead of the terracotta, and I sure as
hell didn't ask where to buy a $20 grill. If you weren't such a
braindead dumb**** you would have known that.

So why is your single-digit IQ ass telling me to buy a Smokey Joe, when
it has nothing to do with what I asked in the original post? Do you
enioy making dumbass replies that are completely irrelevant to the post
you're replying to? Do you have some sort of fetish for answering
questions with off-topic answers that have nothing to do with the
questions?

No, real advice hadn't been given. And if you had that proves my point,
you're a dumb ****ing retard. Did I ask where to buy a metal smoker?
Did I say "Will you please ignore all queries about a terracotta smoker
and instead tell me to buy a Weber Smokey Mountain"? Once you stop
being functionally illterate, maybe you can go back and read the
original post and find out.

No, I got your worthless, down's syndrome ass telling me to buy a Weber
Smokey Mountain, when I never ****ing asked you about a Weber Smokey
Mountain. I asked how to convert an Alton Brown smoker into a
non-electric smoker - your dumb ass says "buy a Weber Smokey Mountain"
which is not what I asked about. Your "good advice" is not only ****ing
stupid, it's completely off-topic and meaningless. IF I had asked you
what kind of metal smoker to buy, and IF I had asked whether or not I
should buy a Weber Smokey Mountain, your idiot reply might have made
sense. But I didn't, so you saying to buy a Weber Smokey Montain when I
had asked how to convert an Alton Brown Smoker means you have roughly
the IQ of a baby with fetal alcohol syndrome.

And your point is? I'd just use a different fuel source (although terra

"Morons"??? Morons post things like this: "I'm sure you know all the

Is it still libel if the poster is too stupid to spell correctly?

Ok. He's embarrassed about being admonished and knows he can't prove me
wrong (and also knows that I have a point), and saying "yawn" allows
him some ammunition without addressing anything I said in my post,
which he's scared to do because I'm obviously right and there's no way
he can argue against me. Going "yawn" also allows him to act cool and
nonchalant as if he hasn't been embarrassed, which he has.

OK, you've discredited any and all advise that you've been given
(whether it was any good or not).

Simple answer. No one here knows how to use an Alton Brown (it's his
name, so please use capital letters in the usual places) flower pot
smoker without electricity, whthout cracking or breaking it.

If you want any more advise, I'd suggest that you change your
approach. If not, you'll just get poked with pointy sticks.

BOB

who respects terra cotta flower pots too much to waste them on
something so rediculous as you suggest.

No, morons conveniently ignore that I wasn't the one that initiated the
pedophile comments and accusations.

Man, pass on a plateful. I only taste during the week, the weekend is when I
get to eat :-)

ROTFL MAO! Nice job. I hope he takes your advise.

I smell a troll.

You want to take a flower pot camping with you to smoke with, but a
smoker is unimportant.

If your question was legitimate, you'd know that you can use a pile of
rocks combined with pieces of dead trees to cook with in the woods.

Well, it's not from a flower pot (even by Hound's definition, yes I
still have and use them all!) but it's pretty good. You want pulled
pork, brisket, ribs or maybe chicken? I've got some smiked pork loin,
too, but it's mostly gone. Vinegar slaw to go on the pulled pork on
cheap white bread sammiches, too.

Beer isn't Fosco quality, but Red Stripe sure goes with BBQ.

Or you can build a controlled fire in a pile of rocks with a grate
somewhere above and turn out magnificent BBQ.
