I converted my Charboril silver smoker to gas for free! I used a gas burner from my turkey fryer and put it in the fire box. Works great so far. I would be glad to post some pics if anyone is intersted. I can now use gas or charcoal with a small amount of effort to convert. I had a 8# brisket to smoke,and didnt want to play with charcoal for 12 hrs. Yes I have a smokey mnt.gas smoker, but I just wanted to try this with the charbroil.
