The Mencarini Smoker! The guys that spent time building this piece of art. are from the left: Art Himes, Son-in-law Dave, Matt Bryne and Ed Radwinsky. Click on images to enlarge them. |
Dave stands next to the smoker that he and his friends built in his backyard. |
Art is preparing chicken wings for smoking with a variety of spices. |
Both piles are ready to be ignited with the burning embers in the small container. |
Art is pouring the hot embers over the charcoal and wood pieces. |
After both piles have been started, the metal grate is pushed into the smoker and the metal panels closed. These panels can be opened or closed to control the interior temperature. |
Art is adding the wings to the metal trays which are held on the upper level metal tray. They will be directly above the small fires that have been burning and producing smoke. |
Art is checking the wings and making room on the metal interior grill for a few other types of meats. |
Checking on the smoldering embers to see if they need replenished. |
The heat source seems to be smoking nicely. |
To prevent them from smoking too rapidly and burning out too soon, the metal doors on either side must be closed to prevent extra air from flowing over them. |
With the door closed and the unit working perfectly, you can see the smoke rising from the standpipe. |
Another view from the other end of the smoker. |
The top has been opened and a few other types of meats have been added to the upper level metal tray. |
Great story Dad!
