Thanks for the offers. I'm looking to spend as little as possible since its a kid at work- not my kid. :twitch: a vertical/bullet charcoal smoker would be best for him.
Espy - if you end up making the trip that'd work.
BVBull -there's probally some one on here who'd love to buy your Bandera.
TXLX -I appreciate the offer but he doesn't want a stick burner.
If I gave get him a charcoal smoker il give him a bag or 2 of KBB every so often from my Memorial Day sale stash then he'll just have to buy a bag of wood chunks occasionally and the meat and rub. I'll probally toss him a jar of rub every so often too. :biggrin1:
I would really like to get a Gourmet ( even electric model ) for $15-$20 or Free and mod it and give it to him. I thought about giving him my old Masterbuilt Electric but I still use it occasionally and its 7 hrs old so it may crap out at any time so my luck it'd die during his first cook.
I've seen a cpl on CL cheap but they are the ones with the open bottom.
