Small Portable Smoker

[Spower]

I got this a while ago and finally got to use it. It works really well! Comes apart into a small carry bag so easy to take anywhere. You can use it on any heat source. I did a video review so you can see it.

I am a traditionalist and drag my Weber Smokey Mountain with me on longer trips but as I get older (and potentially wiser) I am looking for ways to make things easier and this interests me.

How well were you able to control temps? Most of my cooks are low and slow and some are quite lengthy. What did you put in the bottom of the smoker? You mentioned pellets but what was the ignition source? Was it just the heat from the propane stove that caused the pellets to smolder and smoke?

It was a windy day, but I had to leave my grill on high the whole time, it's also a small grill (one burner) temp stayed at about 200 which was fine with me, I also like slow cooking.
I put an aluminum foil drip pan on bottom and pellets around it, nothing really dripped so next time I'm putting pellets right in the middle no drip pan. Pellets start to smoke as the heat rises. There is like a hot plate on the outside bottom that gets really hot.
I'm hoping to use it again soon if the dang winds would stop
Hope this helped.

Yes, friend, I used to have the same smoker, this is really the main problem in maintaining a good temperature. To do this, I spent a lot of time next to my baby)
But then I was advised to buy one of the best meat thermometer for grill and this greatly simplified the task of maintaining the required temperature. Maybe you'll like this idea too)

Small? yes.
Portable? debatable I guess
