Home Made smoker air-scrubber

I originally made this for discussing water filtration and pumps, but it is also useful for smoking meats. I live in SF which has 'Spare the Air' days. I wanted to see if an air-scrubber could be created that would take the particles from the smoke. The prototype was a successful one.
I own a catering company in SF named Black Hearth. Smoking meats and charc are pretty close to me.

An aquarium pump or a submersible fountain pump, solar powered in needed, I was planning on a scrubber based on an ultrasonic fogger/s style setup with a linked PC fan linked to the fan inside the smoker as not to increase the vacuum pressure.
good luck.

i didnt watch all of your vids but i watched this one twice and the only thing that comes to mind is a pump. it seems way to simple however so i guess you may not have an outlet near by? if you use injectors like fuel injectors i guess a good combination would be a fuel pump that runs on 12 volts. hope this helps if you are even still practising this.

Thanks. this was a prototype. The entire pit has since been dismantled. The intent was to filter then circulate the water to a tank overhead. I never got that far. The largest unknown was seeing if I could develop a 'home' air scrubber and it was very effective.

Chris Black This was a very cool project. One of my favorite bbq restaurants here was closed down over the smoke they create during this food preparation. I'm sure they haven't thought to do something like this. They have been closed several times for the same smoke issues unfortunately.

Hi Chris. Do you have any info on how you made the smoke scrubber? Looking at doing this for a coffee roaster

[@flashinthepants2]

@@DavidCalver have you had any success? I'm looking at doing the same.

​@@DavidCalver did you give this a go for the coffee roaster. I've been looking at something similar.
