Easy DIY Smoker Hack

A quick and simple way to get traditional BBQ flavor, without spending money on a smoker.

Episode: Raise the BBQ

Jeff Mauro makes Honey-Glazed Pork Belly Burnt Ends, as seen on The Kitchen, Season 17.

What you'll need:

Charcoal grill
Coals
Wood chunks
Water
1-pound aluminum loaf pan (for the wood chunks)
Deep-depth aluminum pan (for water)
Aluminum foil
Skewer

How to:

Remove the top grill grate from the charcoal grill.
Arrange lit coals on one half of the bottom grate.
Fill the deep-depth aluminum pan with water, then place inside the grill on the side without the coals.
Make a DIY smoker box by filling the aluminum loaf pan halfway with wood chunks.
Cover the smoker box with aluminum foil and poke about 15 holes in the top with a skewer.
Place the DIY smoker box next to the water pan on the lit coals.
Put the top grill grate back on the grill and you're ready to smoke.
