Hey, buy it, quickly wrap it, tell her it is for from family and carry it under the tree. She will be mega impressed because it weighs so much.

Bonus is on divorce you have anew smoker.

be carefull they look like the same type as the ebay ones, did some research and to smoke proper you need to smoke at low temps i.e 80c to 150c the ones one ebay did not go that low.

Google drum smoker, they'll go low enough. Far cheaper, no throwing cash at a multinational, and you have the satisfaction of having made it yourself. Plus, gas isn't "true" smoking and although it's convenient it won't impart the right flavour without help.

I was given an electric kettle BBQ as a hand-me-down, can this be rigged to be used as a smoker with some woodchips?

Hell yes.

Google "trash can smoker" and you'll get the picture. I've smoked using an electric hot plate and a small hooded BBQ - and my main smoker is an electric hotplate, a PID controller and a cardboard box.

Note - do not let this statement fool you into thinking I am "experienced" I've only done it a few times... But it does seem to have worked.

Up to a point.

That point was when the cardboard caught fire :lol:

Note to myself: Ignore posts by Stillscottish on DIY smoker builds

Cheers for the reference to trash can smokers, Thirstyboy. Might have to make that a project for tomorrow, and get myself a nice big fish to cook up.

If youlike smoke and bbq check out the texas smoker should only be around $1800 but well worth it imo.
