A backyard grill is set up as a smoker, with a smoker box emitting gentle smoke placed over glowing coals. Presoaked wood chips are visible inside the box, and a DIY smoker made from a tin can with holes punched in it is also emitting smoke. The setup includes a small bowl of wood chips, a roll of aluminum foil, and grilling tools neatly arranged beside the grill. The background features a cozy backyard with greenery and soft natural light, highlighting the smoke curling up and the warm glow of the coals.
