Wine Barrel Smoker Project : Updated 14 Apr 11
Material:

My goal:
My friend and neighbor Oreste cleaning out the barrel with water and rocks inside the barrel.He said this is the way he does it in Italy.

The barrel is originally from Jerez, Spain. It used to have Brandy in it from the Spanish Bodega (winery) Bobadilla & Co. It was shipped to Amsterdam, The Netherlands. You can see the family crest that was stamped into the wood.

This is a brandy label from the company Bobadilla & Co. The family crest is top middle.
The barrel was in the basement of a friends family's farm. His father used to make Apple wine in it. It was 3/4 full when we opened it. I guess it had been sitting for at least 8 yrs. Lot's of gunk when we drained it.
More to follow as the build progresses.

Re: Wine Barrel Smoker Project
Smokemaster, you always have the coolest projects. You sure can't call that one a UDS, I'll be anxious to see your build.

Re: Wine Barrel Smoker Project : Updated 14 Apr 11
I have to call this build a sucess! The temps finally settled around 240F - 250F with 2 vents open. Max temp was 288F. I threw 2 bratwursts on late in the game. Most of the smoke was gone but they got a decent ring.
Thanks for all the positive comments.
