Has anyone tried the smokenator?

Never tried it but it looks like a great idea.

Here are a couple of links that will help you in making your decision.  This sounds like an excellent low cost way to start smoking.

Good luck.  I'm looking forward to seeing how you do with this!

Agree with Bill.  The Smokenator is a good place to start. I got one a few years ago. Used it for small cooks and it worked as promised. The main drawback was size which meant having to add charcoal and refill the water pan.  I still use it from time to time but because I wanted to smoke larger cuts of meat I went to a WSM.  

Good luck.

The reviews I have read suggest the water pan needs to be filled often. When you factor in shipping and hover grill it is about $100.00. For $200.00 more I can get a WSM.  For $1100.00 more I can get an egg :).  Not sure what I am going to do. I would really like a heat shield but the minion method is free.
