its been a year since i bothered to add content here--but now there is enough to talk about.

so we begin our oddessy in early spring of this year. newell watkins developed a prototype for a terra cotta smoker cooker made from flower pots. i took his prototype and adapted the design based on materials i found in my backyard. what you see here is the final product of "pot smoker 2.0". it has a firebox built up from collected concrete blocks with a sheet metal lining. two bottom-to-bottom 18" flower pots make the smoke chamber and cooking chamber. 18" terra cotta plate forms the lid.

the basis of the idea was to make clay smoker cooker out of re-used construction material. similar to a big green egg. one of these could easily add to your home's resale value. trust me.

now its time to cook something in it!
