Hi guys,
Hope some of you remember me when I posted about the weird "smoker" that I got here in Ecuador last February.
Well, with some help from Amznsmoke, I finally made it simple and works very well.
So now, in the last 7 months, I have gone from 200 lbs of sausage then to 500 lbs of sausage last month,200 lbs of bacon in the last 2 weeks and 250 lbs of corned beef in the last 2 months.
Posted a few pics of the products and a little local, too. The lady is a very prominent attorney at our tasting that we held by invitation only for professional photos for our new web sie. We will be sponsoring an October Fest in Cuenca in October.
Next up, with the smoker under control, will be pastrami, smoked sausages, and Texas style smoked brisket.About to put our house on the market,looking for a large lot locally, and building and opening a plant. Too much work for just my wife and I now. Hell of a way to retire. Now I,m mostly just tired. Ah well its fun and keeps me away from the local beauties.
Thanks for all the help, suggestions, and recipes. Especially Meathead.

yeah, thanks an Ecuadorian traffic jam, happens only occasionally when they change pastures. lasts about 5 min.

No, not a cold smoker. Propane burner in the bottom. If you don't turn on the propane, then it is a cold smoker. See my first post, last February to more pics. It used to be a Chinese restaurant chicken roaster.

It took me a while to remember.
Hmmm what did I have for dinner tonight 🤔😬😁
kidding aside.
That smoker is really living up to its potential.
It is one serious bad ass cooker.
Glad things are working out for you. 👊👊👊

Thank you. Lots of work though. Thats 67 lbs of slabs and I think I can do another 30-40.
