Need a cheap BBQ smoker

Goldy

I want to try my hand at smoking this summer but I dont want to spend hundreds of bucks getting set up. Are there any cheapish smokers that would give me a good idea whether i like the hobby or not?

Do you have a charcoal grill of some sort now? If you do, couldn't you adapt it to smoke? IE: Indirect Heat?

I highly recommend the Weber Smoky Mountain. I think the 18.5inch is $199 (from amazon). It's a damn good smoker, I can cook for 18hrs and not have to worry about temp too much. Makes overnight cooks very easy. I wouldn't recommend any of those smokers u can get from home depot...or lowes. They are more work than it's worth. Do yourself a favor and get something little nicer, you will be glad you did. you can also check out www.virtualweberbullet.com, which is a site dedicated to cooking with the WSM. I learned everything I know from that site.
