Title: New Smoker
Post by: Gunslinger on August 13, 2004, 08:26:18 PM

I'm looking at a new smoker and was wondering if anyone had any experience w/ this one.

I'm leaning towards it because it looks like its easier to use being propane and all (that's the hardest part for me with charcoal)

Just wondering if anyone has used one.

EDIT FOR NASH:

The above walmart link is for reference only.  I will not be buying it there.

No experience with those. It'll probably work.

My only comment is I used one of those little iron boxes for the wood chips on my gas grill a few times. Didn't work worth diddle because the chips burned up too fast and didn't put out much smoke.

If they solved that, you should be OK.

BTW, you know they have electric El Cheapo Brinkmanns, right? Even the "Gourmet" model is available in electric. Even easier than propane.

yea I was thinking about that as well.  They make the adapter for the elcheapo that I have for like 29.00.  

I wouldnt think the chips burned up so fast in one of those if you soaked them down good enough.  Ty for the info though.

 Its made countless batches of smoked fish (smelt and salmon) and venison jerky and has held up just fine. Pretty cheap to.
