Hi all and Merry Christmas from the Great White North of Alberta Canada eh! I have a delima and am super depressed my fellow smokers. I cannot smoke! Too cold to use the GOSM as we pegged the -36 below F the other day. Too much snow! Great for sledding thou. What I am planning and am looking for recomendations on even in the design is to rig up a smoker I can use indoors in my garage year round if wanted. This would be a permanent set-up so was thinking of natural gas however have been reading some of the forums on the electrics and was thinking that maybe I'd go that way as one may not have to be so concerned about leaving it overnight or am I wrong here? I want simplicity but was thinking that the natural gas would be instant heat. I was also looking at the Amerique by Cookshack? I already have a hole in my roof from a previous oil furnace and was going to run a chimney out the top for smoke exhaust. That is the other issue....I need a smoker that is going to seal real well as we have lockers in the garage where we store our snowmobile clothing or quad stuff year round and I often have a classic car in there and do not want to smoke up everyting in the garage. This is a priority...I mean all of it for me. I almost opened the doors and tarped my smoker in so I could do up a batch of baby backs but it was just too cold. Any pics of anyone else riggin up a unit like the way I am thinking or information on the benefits of the electric verses natural gas or the other way around would be great. My budget would be in the $1000.00 to $1500.00 range in total. Again ...Merry Christmas everyone...and cheers to all my friends on the SMF ! Badss -Ray
