BBQ/Smoker.....any experts here??
As a long-time bbq'er, I've been tempted to try my hand at smoking.
Canadian Tire is a well known Canadian general merchandise retail chain and have several styles-if you're not from Canada and the first thing you are wondering about is why would anyone buy anything but tires from a tire store. Well, we do live in a world of cross-merchandising but that isn't the case here. They started as tire store many years ago and are now one of our best known, Canadian, general merchandising stores.
A fairly inexpensive one to start and I guess I'm wondering whether it makes sense, for some reason I don't know yet, to spend a few more $ and get a better one. I can't imagine that I'll use this more than a few times a year but..who knows! I'm looking at: Double Chef Charcoal Smoker, C$79.99 It's kind of like a cylinder that stands up. 220 cu inches, 8 qts. charcol capacity, 60 qt. water pan, 50lb weight capacity.
I'd love some thoughts from someone who has been smoking for some time.

This would make a fine smoker. I got mine from Wal-Mart it is a Smokey Mountain. Cost $99.00. It uses gas and wood chips. I can turn the heat down and cold smoke Fish or turn it up and do meats. I smoke a lot of Pork ribs (7 hours) and people are always asking for more.
