Yeah if you can find one that's not painted in any way, I wouldn't chance a golden Virginia one or similar in case there are any nasties in the paint.

Reminds me, I once met a bloke who cold smoked salmon with oak dust and crumbled hamlet cigars, it was fecking rank :lol:

Right definatly going down the gas bbq route for midweek and "quick" smoking. But am also going to do a UDS. Any links would be welcome!

Or if your spending good money on a gas BBQ get them to throw in the smoker box for free and not spoil the look with your homemade box

Spoil the look?????? :lol:

Alternatively get them to knock the cost of the smoker box off as a discount, spend that £10 on some meat and have your ugly smoker box taking up less space under the lid that will be closed anyway ;)

Have anyone used these smokers?

Is this a good smoker? I could get this and an £100 gas BBQ and be sorted...

I've not used one, have a look at Which they did an article a while ago on Gas BBQs
http://search.which.co.uk/search?w=bbq& ... s&x=52&y=8
BUT what you have to remember as with all Celebrity Named goods you are paying a premium for their name/logo. Hope the link helps.

It will work but requires some modification to easily achieve good results, in my opinion you would be better off with a weber one touch or a ProQ Frontier, a little bit more money but well spent in the long run. If you google brinkmann gourmet modifications you will get loads of info.
