How to Build a Smudge Pot
- 1). Unscrew and remove the 3-inch cap from a water-based paint can. Turn it on its side. Place a garden hose inside and spray it clean of paint. Turn it upside down and let it drain.
- 2). Place the stovepipe on top the can, to one side of the 3-inch lid. Trace around the pipe. Using the reciprocating saw, cut out the circle. Force the crimped end of the stove pipe into the hole. Penetrate about 6 inches.
- 3). Insert the bell flange over the top of the pipe. Slide it down to the top of the can. It should cover part of the 3-inch lid.
- 4). Drill about 50 or 60 holes into the pipe with the 1/8-inch bit and cordless drill in random order around the pipe's diameter just above the bell flange.
