Well, I convinced the wife that I needed another smoker, and she consented for my father's day gift. Picked up a Landmann BlackDog 45 at Sportsman's Warehouse for $250, which seems like a good deal, online prices don't seem to be below $320. Anyway, I did my first cook on it today, some spares and a couple of fatties. Not too bad results-wise, I turned the fatties into charcoal, but the ribs turned out pretty good. It's going to take me a while to get used to cooking with a fire again, I think I'm going to have to make a charcoal basket. My only gripe with the smoker is that every time I open the cooking chamber, the vent closes. Otherwise, very happy with the purchase. Here's a few shots of the first cook.
