I got a cheap Lowe's charcoal smoker and one of the Amazen pellet trays. Works great for cold smoking but the pellets either burn up or keep going out when i try to hot smoke with it. So after seeing it on here, i made a mailbox mod to put the pellet tray in to separate the pellets and charcoal. Did a quick test run last night and it worked really well. fired it up today with a pork rib roast and so far so good. I spent maybe $25 on all the parts. I tried to locate the tube on the smoker so the heat from the charcoal would rise past the vent, thus sucking the smoke from the mailbox. Here are some pics....
