Got a poker night later today so promise the lads some smoke brisket ribs and pulled pork it's bloody freezing over here at the moment though so in Heath Robinson Style I knocked up my own thermal enclosure for my bullet smoker complete with side vents to ensure good air circulation to the air inlets. It's got a detachable roof in case of rain! Definitely taken a lot longer to hit my temperature but it was -2 this morning when I got going I had a small portable fan from a previous holiday and it's been fantastic at helping push the smoker up to the right temperature! All part of the fun of Q! Just 8 more hours until Texas hold'em beer and brisket!

What? No insulation board on the top with a vent hole in it. Just kidding. Great job in being creative. At your temperatures McGyver is the man. You make him proud.

Of course! Just sitting off to the side, water proof top, insulated underneath! Macgyver never does things by Half's!

I have to ask, Scotland played MacGyver on TV? That was my favorite TV show when I was younger, still is one of my favs.
Yes it made it over here it was very popular I still think they're reruns once in awhile along with the original A-Team series which was one of my favourites. That was actually my favourite bit in the A-Team episodes when they were barricaded into a barn somewhere and they use a paperclip a horseshoe a bit of rope and some pipe and make a tank lol.
Great stuff! I still watch MacGyver quite regularly, Netflix used to have the whole series but lost it. Hulu has only the 1st season, but I have all the DVDs so I am set. When I watch it my wife always rolls her eyes and makes the stereotypical "paperclip and gum wrapper" jokes, but she always gets into it and can't look away! Lol.
I wonder how many people knew who Heath Robinson was? There is a US equilvant by the name of Rube Goldberg. They made very complicated sketches of machines to do simple things.
