Saw an interesting ad in our local Canadian Tire flyer, for a smoker that
sits on the side-burner of a gas barbecue:

http://www.smokinsidekick.com/home_page.html
or
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows...2BSidekick.jsp

Its going for $49-99 (Canadian, about $75 US these days ;-).

Doesn't have much size to it, but then it doesn't cost much money. Quick web
search brought up mentions of it going back to 2007, but no worthwhile
reviews.

Anyone tried one of these, and have an opinion?

Thanks!

What a neat idea!

I can see that selling pretty well for the non-hardcore grilling set.

I don't have one, but I do have an opinion: inefficient and
unstable temperature control (especially in the wind). You can get
a much larger unit with it's own *internal* burner for $125 and make
much better use of your propane.

Looks like a good one. Have to to check out more on this. My old smoker has died down but it did serve pretty well.
