![]() I saw this on craigslist and was wondering if these smokers are any good? For $20 I think its probably worth it. I'm waiting for them to call me back. Any thoughts on this smoker??

![]() I'd see what the inside looks like and the interior dimensions of it. If it's all good, pay the $20. and then smack the heck out them. "We're not really smoke people?" they bought it on a "whim".
![]() Don't know about the brand but, I could think of worse things to spend $20 on.

![]() I wasn't able to find too much info on this smoker but looks like they sell for $185 new on ebay. I say for $20 its hard to pass up. Hopefully its still available and they call me soon.

![]() So I got an email from the guy confirming I can pick this up tomorrow. Score!! He's going to measure the size of the cooking grates for me tonight. I'm hoping they are 22.5" like the WSM.

![]() It's worth 20 bones if you need something to do. I understand the leak like nobodys business though. At the very least you get inexpensive parts for another build.

![]() If its 22.5" it may be worth it just to add onto my weber performer so I can smoke on it. We'll have to wait and see what size it is.

![]() I don't know of this clone ( sold at Sears) has those options, the ProQ may be what you are referring to?

![]() You are buying the BBQ Pro, which is kind of a knock off of the ProQ Excel. Still worth $20 IMO.

![]() I'm pretty sure the ProQ Excel was in between an 18.5 and 22.5 WSM. I can't say about the BBQ Pro.
