Smoking "home brew".........

Question;
I'm going to try and move my home brewing operation away from my oven and into the BGE. I have a pit viper, so regulating the temp won't be to bad....
Does anyone have any pointers? Have you ever done this before?
How'd it turn out? Compared to the traditional oven?
Thx!
John

The only smoking I have done for brewing is smoking a few pounds of malt with some Alder wood for a Smoked Porter I brewed last fall.....came out very good.
I'm assuming that you mean to take your boiling from your stovetop inside the house, and try it on the egg?
I would think that it would be very difficult to control your boil. I'm always adjusting the flame on my burner to keep from getting a boil-over....you won't have any kind of instant control of your fire.
Not saying it can't be done.....and it might be worth a try, but I personally wouldn't want to risk it. A boil-over on the egg could be quite messy.

...and you can't very well control the temp with the lid open...

I would think that it would be extremely difficult to manage. How would you even support the kettle? 9-10 gallons of liquid (assuming full boil all grain brewing with 6 gallons into the fermentor) plus a pot is not very light.

AleBrewer,
Thx for the info...I've questioned all that...but I'm going to have to give it a try...
Liquidicem- I'm going to brew less to manage the overage...a lot less....just to see if it'll work.

Sounds like it might be fun, but not sure what the benefit might be. The egg is the master at adding a slight wood fire smoke hint to what you are cooking, I've never heard of anyone looking for a hint of smoke in a brew, a scotch or Irish whiskey with hint of peat smoke yes, but beer, nope.I picked up one of those turkey deep friers for $20 after some idiot set fire to his garage door and his wife made him sell it. It is great for boiling a wort. Also doubles as a great corn boiler.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

And great for wok, grasshopper. I have one too that I think I paid around $17 for. Oh, and blackening stuff where you create toxic Bhopal clouds that are best not done on the stove in the house.I picked up one of those turkey deep friers for $20 after some idiot set fire to his garage door and his wife made him sell it.
