It's really cool how your workplace has a smoker out back, though, Odin.
It was built here, and its usually stoked up with firewood from the boss's backyard.
A number of years ago we had built a machine for a customer that was supposed to warm up natural gas coming from a well so that it could be passed through a filter for removing water and grit without it icing up. But the design was flawed- there wasn't nearly enough heating surface, so it was sent back and abandoned in our field with the other scrap metal.
Earlier this year we decided to clean up that scrap metal, and the boss decided that the tank of the heat exchanger was big enough to be turned into the body of a meat smoker. So we removed everything from the skid it was built on except the shell of the heat exchanger, which became the body of the smoker. Then we added a firebox suitable for burning wood, and a chimney on the other end. And now its a nice party-sized meat smoker, capable of cooking enough meat in one go to feed 20 hungry men.
