I was about to purchase a new Spitt's and Pitt's stainless smoker. Check
them out if you live near Texas. They are having a sale on them. I
actually had myself talked into their smaller unit at eight hundred and
something bucks. I was really going to buy it. I had it all figured out
how I would come up with the money. Then reality struck. It would cost me
four hundred dollars to ship it to the Washington state. Oh well. I guess
they weigh a bunch.

That got me to wondering about constructing my own. Now I'm not ready to do
any welding but I got to thinking about what a smoker actually was. It is
basically a wood stove with a cooking chamber attached. Right? So why
couldn't you take an old wood burning stove attach a cooking chamber above
it so that the stove vents directly through it? Seems to me like it would
work. Any one else want to comment.
