I've seen the Bullet Shaped Brinckmann Smoke 'n Grill for as low as 40 bucks before and I don't think they ever cost more than 60. They don't maintain heat that well but I have used them with great success with pulled pork. I just smoke the meat for about 4-6 hours and finish it off in the oven at 170 degrees ina shallow pan wrapped with foil (a small amount of liquid on the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist). Is it cheating? Sure. But it makes killer pulled pork.

As far as smoking sausage, fish, chicken and grain it works just fine without needing to put in the oven.

Well, if you have a big ass wire colander you can do it in there. Or you can build a box with a screen on the bottom and do it in there. Moisten the malt witha spray bottle. Add cool water to the wwater pan and keep the fire low. Add watever wood you want and smoke for 30-45 minutes. For large grain bills you may have to do 3 or 4 seperate batches depending how big your smoker is.

Dudes, its easy.
