I am looking to purchase a new smoker and was just looking for input from you guys. I will post a couple of pictures of it and have you pose your thoughts. Also, if you could tell me about what you think it'd be worth, I'd appreciate it. I am pretty sure it's a good deal, but want opinions. I talked to the guy selling it and he built it himself and used it for competition smoking for a few years. It has recently been repainted, but he said it is in excellent condition. It is a reverse flow system and there is a access door to the cooking area on both sides of the smoker. Also, it is rigged to be able to use with propane if needed.

Are you able to work with that tire right in the way? Looks like it would be a PITA to work around that tire if you are doing a large party or something.

Had I done that, I'd have been asking for it for free :)

I went ahead and bought it Friday. I towed it home from Chicago and power washed it Saturday then fired it up for a test run on Sunday.

Granted, I wasn't messing with any meat during my test smoke on Sunday, but I did get in and move the thermometers around a few times and such and it didn't really get in the way. I am fairly tall, so maybe that makes a difference.

I can't wait to smoke some meat on this old girl. Looks like my first opportunity will be next week Friday!

Marc, If you got that Smoker in the $1000 range ...That's a Steal! I was thinking he wanted some where in the $3-4000 range when I posted. Best of luck...JJ
