Look at what I saw on the river yesterday. That's right, it's a 13'-14' aluminum canoe with a fully functional smoker strapped to it and an electric trolling motor to power her by !?!?!? Best of all, he was cooking away as we went by. I'm veggie these days, but it smelled great :) Thankfully, it's a NO WAKE zone, but it was still an awfully tipsy set up, but he was still afloat when I passed by a few hrs later on the return trip. On the one hand, it's a perfect example of Good 'ol Florida Redneck engineering at its finest, combining all the best things in life; food, family and fun of the water. On the other hand, it's a disaster waiting to happen, albeit a tasty smoke-infused sort of disaster. I still can't decide if this is the smartest, or dumbest thing I've ever seen on the water, but it's gotta rank pretty high in both categories. Enjoy!

btw, don't try this at home.....

Actually that is a pretty cool looking set up. However I am not sure that he is a redneck...I think that he is a city slicker that is used to "multi tasking" :D I`ll even bet he is sitting on a cooler full of adult beverages :p

look at it this way, if a fire starts all he has to do is rollover.

"look at it this way, if a fire starts all he has to do is rollover. "


exactly The Vision! Like I said he, (and the grill) were still afloat when I left, so I guess it worked well enough, but you could tell that guy realized that it probably sounded better on paper than it turned out to be in practice. Hard to cook, steer, avoid the other boats, manatees, tourists and watch the family while worrying about catching an ember in the crotch :) Oh well. It was good for a chuckle and whatever he was makin' sure smelled good :) The man can BBQ! I'll give 'em that. Now if he put that on a pontoon boat and would make deliveries to folks up and down the river, he might be on to something ;) BBQ river taxi, oh yeah!

I have one thing and one thing only to say and will make no judgement of his IQ.

My Compliments to the Chef !

Had he stopped by your boat to sell burgers and soda pop -- Would you have considered his idea more in his favor ?

Genius. You can't just cook barbecue; it takes a long time @ low heat and smoke. So you start at 7 am with your smoker going, paddle down river, and when you make camp at 4 you have dinner ready!

As long as it's a metal canoe....

Yeah, thankfully it was an aluminum canoe, or I'm pretty sure it would've melted. The river is a constant 72 year round so I guess that helped keep the hull cool. Maybe if he added and ama (outrigger) he would've been a bit more stable. I was mostly afraid that he was gonna get flipped by someone's wake, but he and the BBQ boat were still in one piece when I left.

the smoker would weigh less than a passenger in the bow. The issue is center of gravity.

I'm actually in Tallahassee, but I go down the river all the time. I'm actually trying to get some folks together to make a trip down there, but it's like herding cats :) How did you fair during the storm? Can y'all get back on the island yet? I'll let you know when I'm coming. If worse comes to worse, I'll just leave 'em all here in town and come by myself. LOL
