    Default Does anyone have a smoker?

    I'd love to get a CookShack smoker or a Green Egg but they are a bit out of my price range at the moment.

    I'm looking at the Weber Smokey Mountain Bullet Smoker. Does anyone have this one? How do you like it?

    What kind of smoker do you have?

    Cheers,
    Vic

    I've got a Bradley Smoker. It works great.

    Pro: It works great and looks good.
    Con: It takes "pucks" instead of just loose wood, which costs us more.

    my dad has had a "little chief" forever. I borrowed it over the weekend. Made the best smoked salmon, and I'll do some jerky this coming weekend. There's enough room to do a giant salmon in one batch!

    Simple design. A lid, a rack you drop into it, and I literally popped it right on top of the side burner of my BBQ and left it on the lowest low, it has a little pan for your wood chips, and it took 2-3 pans of wood chips for each batch I smoked.
    Let the current take you where you may not always want to go.

    Not a katienaha anymore! Knot is tied.

    I second the little chief smoker. We have 3 going and had amazing results, ran another neighbors smoker at the same time and didn't have the same results with same batch so not due to deviance in recipe.

    I think mine is a Big Chief smoker. If I can find it, you're welcome to borrow it Vic.

    No, his is supposed to run off any old campstove burner. His is VERY old, I dont know if newer models might have a built in burner unit? I have only ever known this unit to run off a campstove/propane burner. Heck you could even build a mini fire under it if you needed.
