I used an old wine barrel, stained and painted it, and put in an electric thermostat..works great!

got mine from a guy in Van Alstyne that makes them. Will post up his name and number once i find it. Steady 225 degrees and cant burn it down. Will last a long, long time also. Can use wood chunks or chips to create as little or as much smoke desired.

I like that. With teenagers around you just can't have nice things though. Someone would try to use it as a fire barrel. From experience. Crap!
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

No worries! If you're handy you can make them yourself. I got online and searched different forums on how to make them. They sell them online for $700 to $800 dollars. I can't afford that, so made my own. I spent about $350 with everything new, not used. Several people liked them so I made a few and sold them for around $475. It will probably take a good weekend, since you're waiting on paint and stain to dry. The only special tools needed are sawzall and good high speed metal drill bits. The only thing I ordered was the heating element. Everything else was bought local...except or wine barrels which take some more googling to find local.

Now that is a nice smoker. What do one of those weigh? Just wondering how difficult it is to move from place to place because everyone would only want to use mine....haha
