Here's what you need:

• 2 large clay flower pots
• A round grilling grate
• A grill base for the charcoal
• BBQ smoker gasket
• U-Bolt to use as a handle
• Some charcoal
• 4 wine corks
• A brick that fits in the bottom of the pot
• Hickory smoking chips to improve flavor
• Some tin foil
• A thermometer

Here's how to make it:

1. Cut and fit gasket onto the rims of the flower pots.
2. Drill two small holes in the bottom for the U-Bolt. If the holes are too small, make them slightly larger.
3. Drill four ventilation holes for air flow (two on top, two on bottom sides).
4. Put the four wine corks into the ventilation holes.
5. Put a brick in the bottom of the pot and put the charcoal base on it.
6. Add some burning charcoal to it, then put the wood chips on the charcoal.
7. Put the grill grate in. It should be a few inches above the charcoal.
8. Now put one flower pot (the lid) on top of the other flower pot.
9. Cover the drainage hole with some tin foil, and put the thermometer through it.
10. Control the air circulation with the wine corks.
11. Put your food on the grill and enjoy!
