hey there, found this site earlier tonight looking for info on brinkmann smokers - was amused to see the 'ECB' acronym.
I was recently got a char-broil infrared turkey cooker as a birthday gift from my parents, but had no room in the car to get it back across the state from NE ohio to columbus. Thus, it had to be returned, with some sort of replacement when I got back home.
I was considering getting a regular turkey fryer instead, but i'm not sure how much use i would get out of it (or the infrare cooker, for that matter). Thus the idea to get a smoker came up. I checked out what Home Depot carried, as that is where I have a store credit, and saw an assortment of Brinkmann units - electric, charcoal and propane.
However, the WSM has caught my eye - even though the 18.5 would cost double what my credit is for, it seems worth it based on what i've read here. Gonna hang out here a bit and check out the 5 day course, and see if I can get the WSM in store (website says online only). Looking forward to adding the smoker out on the patio along with the gas grill.
Would love to have a home made unit from a 55 gallon drum, but don't really have the room for it at my current location (or the tools to make one). Maybe next year :(
