There is at least one person here who will appreciate this hi-tech version of Alton Brown's flowerpot meat smoker. I thought it looked like a cool project.

Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

At home, eating dried out pork butt. *bleh*
Alton has inspired a project or two. I added a blow dryer to my grill. Sea Alton's drawing near the middle of this page. Works fantastic for starting the charcoal.
I tried having my classic Weber do double duty as a smoker by getting a better thermometer and using the electric burner with a pie plate of wood chip in the bottom, but ran into a couple issues:
I used just a cheap pie plate and the burner burnt/melted it.The metal grill didn't hold the heat very well at all.
Maybe I'll try pricing out terra-cotta flower pots again. Last time, I couldn't find an appropriately sized one for less than $50.

Compare that to the cost of my smoker/grill/outdoor oven, and you'll feel better about it.
