The story , there's always a story .
I have been wanting to try an A-Maz-N tube smoker for a while because I do cold smoke a bit . Have been using an old loaf pan punched full of holes with wood chips . Pretty iffy performance , have to relight several times every time I use it . Gets to be a torment after a while . Wanted to try one of these ;

But I'm tight and figured I could make an 'industrial' version (I did oilfield work ..got to be heavy duty) . Truth be known ...I ain't done it yet . DougGuy put up a thread not that long ago , he got one and it worked good ...I NEEDED ONE ! I have suffered torment , heartache and sleepless nights thinking about owning one . Heck ..could change my whole life !
Was at Walmart a couple days ago , Saw some aluminum grill covers in the lawn and garden . My mind went through a synaptic spasm , my heart raced and something dangerous happened ...I got an idea !
This is the result of that moment ;
OK OK ! I know it's not 'industrial' but I whacked it together in 20 min . Cost bout 5 bucks to build (I'm not counting the Vienna sausage can because I ate them at lunch , can was 'repurposed' .'
I need to test fire it but only have wood chips , can't find pellets any where in town . Should I try it with chips or wait and order pellets by mail . Thank you for your response !
