Outdoor Gourmet "Big A" Water Smoker

[mtime7]

Was in Academy the other day and saw the "Outdoor Gourmet "Big A" Water Smoker", it was in a box, none assembled on the floor to look at, was wondering if anyone has one or inspected one assembled. Of course its a WSM copy, but is it any good?

Looks good in the pics. Now we need someone to buy it and review it.

Now the Big A is on clearance for $114 in stores. I might pick one up and then buy a Jumbo Smokey Joe. Just use the barrel from the Big A and the base and lid from the Smokey Joe. It might work out.

$170 compared to $399.

But for about $100 you can add the drum to a jumbo joe, or just a 22 inch one touch grill.
