I am no expert but I will say yes... they are made of metal and come with attaching hardware... you could mount as you like and then set the height of the chimney with 6" duct... I mounted mine in cardboard boxes

That is actually the reason that I purchased this particular hotplate. Unfortunately, I have not had the free time to actually construct and test it in a smoker. From what I can tell it would work fine.

No, it requires some changes to work like in this video. You're gonna have to cut the outside and inside metal with tin snips for it to fit, plus bend the element. It also doesn't put out as much heat, 1300w vs. 1500. What you get for all this work is much better temp control so you can use your smoker for things like cheese and jerky. You should pop in a $5 thermostat too so you can tell what the temp is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXpClfFTRaw&list;=UUCw46lSuLFe1BDqA-1jQdiA

I have never tried it, but I don't see why not. It is very heavy and well constructed as are all Lodge products. The bottom might be a little difficult to clean the smoke. All in all, I think it would be about the pizza pan to use on a grill.

You could but it would take a bit longer to cook seeing as the charcoal is at the bottom. You can remove the top. It is really made for smoking I would not suggest it. The exterior may not handle all of the smoke..

No, this smoke generator needs to be below the burners, or it can be used as a pre-smoker, or a cold smoker. Then it can be mounted on the side above the burner to smoke the meat first then grill it. I may get a second one to mount on the side just for that purpose...

It needs a 6 inch chimney going outside and it draws air from inside home. So if it is truly air tight it wouldn't work but most homes aren't. Air leaks in through lots of places....

No, you cannot. Because the heat generated is different, and so is the "flavour" of the smoke itself.

You can buy a smoker box if you want. I suggest looking online for wood chip ideas and use heavy duty aluminum foil and wrap the wood chips, poke holes in foil also. and set them over your coals or your gas grill fie. Good luck...

Possibly if you are mounting it to the exposed brick inside your house. The product is not meant for exterior use (water will get the holes if its not sealed properly and through freeze thaw cycles will most likely crack the wall of your chimney). You could try masonry anchors (there are many different kinds) carefully drilled into the brick/mortar joint so you do not crack or break the bricks. I would epoxy the anchors and the screws in for added durability but keep in mind once they are epoxied they are not coming back out later. I hope this helps but I would recommend installing this to a stud in the wall in lieu of the chimney.

You can, but you'll need a good exhaust system like a full hood. It kicks up a lot of smoke.

No it wont. The smoker is perfect for cold smoking. To smoke at high temperature, you will need an alternate source.

The smoker is tall and not as large around as a Webber... I think. I know it will drag on the ground due to its height. Can't say for sure if the diameter is sufficient.

I think so. I used it to put a wood stove in one room and rant through the wall to get to the chimney in another room. I have used it all year with no problem. It fits insulated pipe well.

The smoker will work on any sufficient hot source of heat. You'd have to ask the manufacturer of your stovetop whether it might be damaged.

I don't think you will hurt anything by trying it. The thermopile and fan assembly are removable and store inside the combustion chamber. I see no reason why you could not put a hole the size of the post (less than 1/2 inch) in your chimney pipe and foil tape a seal around it. I'm not sure how much energy will be produced from the exhaust gasses. When used in the stove the Thermopile is directly in the combustion chamber the gases may not be hot enough to produce a charge. But if you are wrong pop rivet some sheet metal over the hole and seal it with heat resistant caulk.

Heck yes!!!!! It will smoke quite a bit during start up once coals are white add the Wood...I recommend a Charcoal Chimney to start coals about 14 bucks last for years.
