The Official "cheap" smoker thread

[Richard_]

With all these threads of Shirley's , Humphrey's , LSGs , I figured why not show support for those of us on a limited budget

Paid $25 for it on Craigslist. Spent $30 on paint and thermo.

Got file cabinet free. Spent $100 on it for expanded metal, Thermos, paint and stainless hardware.

 

[SmittyJonz]

Paid $80 for it cuz the holes were caked over. Power washed it and hole kept getting bigger n bigger. Got free scrap metal from work and patched him up. Spent $30 on thermos. $16 on paint.

Great idea. Bet we'll see some interesting cookers!

Found this one brand new but 10 years old in my Dads basement. Spent $15 on thermo and $8 on charcoal grate and gave it to a kid at my work.
