If your current budget is too small for a Weber Smoky Mountain, and you
want to dink around with minor mods, the $40 Brinkman can do a good
job, too. These smokers mainly need airflow mods, and a grate or
something to get the coals up off the floor.

Out of the box, these units suck. Cut/drill a few holes, and they rise
up to a performance level I'll call doesn't suck.
