Jeremy Clarkson tried using a Nissan Hardbody to smoke fish. Results were mixed.
My nephew has a Bradley, he also has too much disposable income. They do hot and cold smoking, the salmon sides he produces are excellent.

[QUOTE 5154462, member: 259"]Yes, I'm thinking I might have spend some serious money on this thing. But we do a lot of barbecue, and I'm not buying a new bike this year, so...[/QUOTE]
I've just looked further myself and the digital ones are getting rubbish reviews, the one my nephew has is a little older, perhaps the new model has problems.

[QUOTE 5154407, member: 259"]I've been using the gas barbecue to do long and slow smoking, but it's a right faff to keep the smoke levels and temperature right over a long period, so I'm in the market for a proper smoker. I know @pplpilot did his Christmas dinner in one, so some of you at least must know about this stuff! So any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
I have a Weber Smokey mountain 47cm. Can't fault it really. Do A LOT of reading up and be prepared to be disappointed early on. But once you get the hang of it it's fantastic.

Money no object - a Big Green Egg.
Otherwise, another vote for Weber Smokey mountain.

[QUOTE 5154510, member: 259"]By the way, do you find the thermometer on the Smokey Mountain reliable?[/QUOTE]
I've hot had issues. To be honest after a half dozen smokes you tend to get a feel for what's right and tend to follow your gut feeling. I find a thermometer for the internal of the meat far more of a need

[QUOTE 5154779, member: 259"]We looked at the Big Green Egg, but all the accessories at high prices were a bit off-putting. I can get my head around paying a thousand quid for one, but having to fork out another 25% for a stand to put it on is taking the mickey.[/QUOTE]
There are other BigGreenEgg look-alikes that are a lot cheaper. The BGE is the Rolls Royce with a price tag to match!
We decided against as we (ie I) have a Weber original kettle, a Smokey Mountain and an European Outdoor Chef gas kettle so splurging on a BGE or similar would be a bit OTT.

There's a huge amount of stuff about smoking on YouTube. There are some really wonderful setups made by country folk in the US. Well worth a look.
[QUOTE 5159189, member: 259"]Just bought a Smokey Mountain 47cm. Not a bad price, 350 quid for the smoker plus a cover, certainly a lot cheaper than Amazon.
We took a serious look at the Big Green Egg, but the accessories were just ridiculously priced - beyond bling, and I don't have access to my brother's arc welding stuff over here, so couldn't have made my own "nest" for 5% of the price.[/QUOTE]
Nice. Smokers are smokers get left out in all weather, never cleaned etc etc (well mine at least) Big green is nice and all that but a bit unnecessary.
