Yeah the homemade wooden one has no insulation so the hot plate probably wouldn't be enough heat. I do quite a bit of smoking over wood coals (hickory and oak) on a metal smoker my dad made and also a dry stacked concrete block smoker I made. I normally smoke b/t 200 - 225 degrees. It is a lot of fun on a cold winter day. Flyfishin's dad is getting ready to build a nice concrete block smoker outside his 30 x 40 shop. I will have to post some pics of it. On opening day of deer season Fly's dad is going to fire up the smoker and the plan is for us all to meet back up after the morning hunt to chow down and shoot the bull before heading back out that afternoon. Gonna be fun!
