What did you get for a new smoker? I've been just using my grill but I think It may be ready to step it up.

It's by a company called Char-Griller, a very basic sheet metal tube with a side-attached firebox. Both were on sale at Lowe's, for a pretty good discount.

Thanks! I saw it once I scrolled down. I'll swing by Lowes and check them out.
