That's very similar to the one I have, except mine is a lot thinner metal.

my brother followed this idea and made a cool smoker and grill. He lives in Sahuarita, Arizona and misses Texas cooking.

    A friend of mine is pretty big into smoking and he likes that egg
    thing. Says it is easier to maintain a constant temp.
    I myself have an oven. I set the temp and it just stays there. To

        about $9K.  I will tell you how it turns out...

        Subject: [AFMUG] Completely OT,but I figure there's some
        people here into
        BBQ..

        I've been into smoking for a while, been smoking ribs, sausage and
        chicken on a cheapo, thin, Home Depot smoker for a few years.
        They turn
        out pretty good, but it's an all day affair of babysitting and
        hoping
        the weather is OK.

        I've been looking at some higher end smokers for a while and
        I'm torn
        between something like
        http://www.yodersmokers.com/ys640-pellet-grill.html and
        http://www.ssomd.com/backwoods-smoker-chubby, the biggest
        differences
        between them being one uses pellets and one is charcoal.

        I've always used charcoal but the convenience of the pellet
        smoker is
        pretty appealing to me as well. I've been reading reviews
        online and
        I've had a hard time finding info that seems unbiased, there's
        a lot of
        people against pellets on principle and a lot of people for
        them purely
        for convenience. Most of the BBQ forums are pretty religious
        places (in
        terms of their preferences.)

        The other problem is that, even if I pick one, there's tons
        and tons of
        manufacturers out there, and if I'm even going to remotely
        consider
        spending $1K+ on a smoker, I want it to be the best. So,
        anyone out
        there with experience with any of these types of units?
