About 12 months ago I bought a smoker on special at Aldi and it has just sat in the box in the spare room.

On our return the good wife was saying (read we will) she would like to move to Adelaide to be closer to the daughter and grand daughter.

So the GW has been cleaning out a large cupboard to start with and as the spare bedroom is filled with caravan and cooking gear that was my task.

This is the end result.

Looking forward to seeing the results from your smoker. Been enjoying smoking a bit of meat lately. But I've just been using my Weber. Have looked at similar units in Bunnings, but I'm supposed to be saving money and not spending money, so I'll just continue looking for a while yet. I like the big offset smokers, would like to get one of those one day (or have a go at making one)

I do like smoked food but not as a regular thing. Think I will stick to me little Weber for smoking for us.

Aldi regularly have these sort of things come up as a special buy.

Thanks Aart look forward to the first few tries, bought a pork shoulder roast today and have one of the rabbits we bought back from soth oz defrosting in the fridge.

Have just fired the smoker up to run her in for a hour and will pick up a couple of requirements on the coast tomorrow. Might be a friday smoke will see what the week brings.
