Experimenting with Smoked Cuisine

A portion of The Food Pope's most recent paycheck was allocated to an inexpensive smoker that had gone on clearance at Wal-Mart.  The design is simple, consisting of a cylindrical barrel with a small firepit in the base, a water basin to keep the smoker's interior humid, and several racks to place food on.

This weekend I hope to use my purchase to prepare some smoked salmon.  Stay tuned for a review of this basic smoker and the food prepared using it!
