The smoked chicken in deer grind might be a genius idea. Might try it this winter. Caveman, I like your setups! I have friends who barrel smoke. They make some great brisket but spend a ton of time monitoring stuff. I have a pellet smoker that kicks ass. It can run off of a car battery too so it's portable. I NEVER grill with charcoal or propane. Wood only for me. I've found I do best with large grill areas that I can play with hotspots and cool spots. What types of wood do you prefer? Almost exclusively hedge. Burns hot, has a mild and clean smoke, and is very predictable. Plus it makes coals that last forever. If I want a smoke flavor I'll add chunks of apple or something, but I really don't do that often. Tried oak, hackberry, elm, locust, etc. Hedge is the best. |

Very cool Caveman! I have an off set stick burner and might have to give this chicken and venison thing a shot. Thanks for all the pics!

Friend arrived with his barrel smoker. If'n someone wanted to make one of these it looks simple enough. Three air inlets on the bottom, nuts and bolts to hold the grills up high. Lid from a Weber.
Last year the center meat got cooked, so trying to stack to the outside this time.
 Barrel smoker is cool. |

I have not but am thinking I should try them for my Weber grill. Maybe wood flavor in a handy. Package. |

You should cook up some steaks on them and let us know how it goes! |

Mixed up the first batch of burger. Turned out a bit whiter than hoped for, should be extra good.
Picture isn't the greatest:
