Or I assume an old tobacco tin with holes in, mind you they are at near antique status these days

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

I hate the taste & smell of tobacco products in any case.........................

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!

There seems to be a few oil drums on ebay!

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??????

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...

Also does anyone know if these are ok gas bbq?

I've not used one, have a look at Which they did an article a while ago on Gas BBQs

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.
