Is a cheap smoker worth a punt at £28? I know nothing about smokers, would it cook typical BBQ stuff like burgers,sausage, skewers etc?
How long would they take you reckon?
Only 3 of us in the house so wouldnt need to be able to cook a load of stuff.

I’ll be honest Chris, anything only costing £20 odd quid any gonna be a whole lot of good.

The key to smoking is keeping the temps constant. And I very much doubt you’ll be able to do that with something like that.

If you really want to dip your toes into smoking you can get a decent Webber Smokey Joe for less than a ton.
Or spend a little extra and get a Smokey mountain. Ideal starter set ups.

Never thought cooking a roast for 3 hours was worth the wait but cooking for 6 hours?
Oh yes with a smoker, well worth it just for ribs

Very nice, Is the smoker mobile? Asking for a friend! (Well a few friends actually, Suffolk Si, Happy Hayes, Ray Mercman )

Treager do do a portable smoker
Perhaps you could all club together and get your own. Instead of being a bunch of freeloading scroungers

I don’t think I’m about on the dates Si gave

Get with Si and Andy and I’m sure we can work something

Sorry no time for cooking when one of your lot can’t even tie his shoe lace’s
That’s the only reason you’ve invited us normal folk
You can’t cope with being away from home
With the exception of Ray of obviously as his a true gent
But then again he did tuck me up with you on a boat on HF

Can always make an Old Fashioned outta it, if it’s rough

If you boys are planning coming down in Dec or Feb I’m about.
Give me notice and Andy and I can have a cook off

Anyone else here got the ninja woodfire? I know it’s not a traditional smoker/barbie but I’ve had mine since May and love it. We’ve smoked pork for pulled pork , whole chickens etc. I did some smoked pulled beef for my mates 50th BBQ and it went in no time.it’s very versatile so been also doing homemade pizzas and other stuff in it .

Burnt ends look good. Not tried them yet.

Got to love the science. 3 days work they won’t understand once they’ve gobbled it all within the hour

Ain’t that the truth !!


I pride myself in knowing no one ever goes home hungry from one of my BBQ!!!
