Got this to try and ease the burden of smoking. Some of us who are unskilled at cooking and inconsistent   at it hopefully this will help me out.this is the initial burn to "season" the grill
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

  I have one of those and love it!  I've only smoked a little bit of store salmon, first time, and was yum! You'll find that when you do burgers, that they'll be much more juicy!  We've BBQ half turkeys in it also, and it turn out yum every time!  Currently I have Applewood pellets, hickory, and mesquite, of course chicken come out delicious.
 I think you'll enjoy it!

Being in Texas now I had to get equipped with a decent smoker so I got a Good-One installed in my backyard. Big old black metal box that can smoke things for a good long time. Nice to have but quite pricy. I can do like four to five full racks of ribs on it, or four huge briskets or half a small pig in it and it makes for some great eats. It has been seasoned well and has a nice lining of "smoke grease" in it that makes meat taste better the more it is used.

A lot of folks in my neighborhood swear by their ceramic eggs, until we had our annual cooking contest and I showed up with a brisket not up to my usual par and took the category hands down. Love my smoker and I don't get in trouble here communicating with the Indian tribes in Oklahoma when I use it. I put up one heck of a smoke cloud when it is use. I know in California I'd be ticketed for excessive smoke, but here in Texas I have neighbors show up to my door with forks ready to eat :smt003

If you can get the temp as low as 90 degrees, then try smoking cheese. It comes out killer. They say after smoking the cheese you should put it in the fridge for a couple weeks and the flavor intensifies. My problem is that it's so good right out of the smoker that it never makes it to the fridge. :smt003
Here's some pictures of a wine barrel smoker that I made.
