Home Made Smoker

[The Apprentices]

Hi

I thought I would share my excitement with you all, I made myself his Bingham smoker using cut offs and spare brass tubes left over from an older project.
She works pretty well and shouls searve me well, ever see me out.
The main tube is a 2" brass section with arrestor screen in the pull off front cone section, the bellows are real leather and held in place with solid brass tacks.

Very very nice apprentice piece.
It will see you out .
It will probably only be used for small in and out jobs (severely restricted smoke time) but really gorgeous looking and well made

The burn time was about 30 mins using a tightly rolled cardboard strip.

That's pretty good, though I was told to be careful using cardboard, as it can contain nasty chemicals.

Maybe try hessian, but again some of it is nasty. Apparently the coffee shops get good hessian sacks free of chemicals.

I have heard similar about cardboard when using it in the compost bin and will check things further.

Thanks

Nice to see that there are still people who make things.

Looks like a beautiful piece of kit, well crafted and finished. I am sure it will last a lifetime

I think it looks too good to use. Put it on ebay as a collectors item...

A thing of beauty. Well done! I can't guess how many hours that took you to complete.

Just the look of it should make them scurry. It reminds me of the death ray gun in an SF movie. Was it Flash Gordon?

I could make a couple more, swap for other bee stuff etc.

She took me three evenings to knock up and another to clean up from the silver soldering.
The cone and ring are both hand rolled from flat sheet, the main body tube is made from 2 inch 16 guage brass CZ 108.

The bellows are made from American black walnut with half a chair coiled spring inside which I got from the local upholstrers.

I will take some better pictures of the internals and post them today.

to clean up from the silver soldering.

Glad about that - at least it's not made with plumbers or electrical solder!

thats much too nice to start a fire in it!!!

 

[Alabamaeee]

Yes,

Don't use them. I'm sure there are quite a few beeks who would love one of those as an ornament in the house.
