What's The Best

[jasandalb]

Looking to get a new charcoal smoker in the $100 and under range
Have been eyeballing the brinkman square vertical....

anyone have suggestions?

That's a hard one to answer...everyone has their favorite.
I have a vertical brinkman.....the two door style....and have had great luck with it.

yup a hard 1-ECB's UDS's homeaid with block heck theres so many-if you went to $200 you have a better option.

I have the Brinkmann Vertical as well.

You will need to modify the charcoal pan for better burn. But that is case with almost every smoker on the market. Keyword...ALMOST.

I use the wok pan pictured below when I use charcoal.



You will want to line the bottom of the smoker with foil for easier cleanup as the ash falls through the holes.

If you can fabricate a little (drill holes in metal, etc...) the UDS (a vertical drim smoker) is a nice upgrade from a small brinkman. I just finished mine, and while I didn't keep track, I'd bet it was under $100.

Here is a link to mine, and there are others if you search for them.

Hey Invader would it be possible to get the plans for your UDS? I have been looking for them but can't find them here. So many people here have built them and so many people at the competitions have them, everybody likes them. I thought I might just go ahead and build one foe me.
