Time to get a smoker...

[rondog]

Higher-quality smokers are expensive! I'm going to have to do some serious research.

Thanks for the tips and links!

Do you find the insulation (or lack thereof) to be a factor in smoking meats?

I got this one at Bass pro Shops for ~$170 or so, on sale. I liked this model because there's a separate door for accessing the fire, wood pan and water pan. I built the wood cabinet to get it up to an easier working height for me, to keep the wind away from the burner flame, and to make it mobile so I can roll it around on the patio. Works pretty damn good IMO, I haven't killed anybody yet. Propane, obviously.



It holds a decent load.
