Saw something new at Home Despot (;-)) today. It is an offset firebox
horizontal smoker from char-broil for 150 bucks. It has ~800 (IIRC)
square inches of cook surface, dampers, grates and all that. Anybody
have any experience with this unit? I also noticed that the door to
the firebox has 1/16 gap all the way around. That is, the door that
you would add more wood, on the vertical side away from the food
surface. Is this a bad sign? The unit appears to be made of a fairly
heavy gauge steel. Any thoughts?
