Instructions: Drill a hole in the bottom of the flower pot. String the plug of the hot plate through the hole. Use the eyebolt, washers, nuts, and dowel to make a handle. Place the pot on top of some sand. Add wood chips to the pot, and insert the grate. Use the tray as the lid — and get smokin’! |
