Hi Dane For the price of two packs of Holiday 25s, you can smoke quite a few kahawai - no jokes If you want something more unconventional that allows you to do both hot and cold smoking, I find a cheap kettle barbecue on wheels likes the ones the Warewhare has works well. For 'cold' smoking, put a burner in the ash tray under the kettle. For hot, put fire in the kettle. It also holds more than the rectangular smokers and you can regulate the heat thru the top vent. You can also pick them up very cheaply at the second-hand shops (I paid $25 for mine - it is not a Weber but it does the trick!). Cheers Keith |

Cheapest smoker. Requires a BBQ an old roasting Dish, a wire cake rack, an oven tray and a Brick. Place Roasting Dish on BBQ hot plate, sprinkle in sawdust, place wire cake rack in dish, place fish on rack. Put oven tray on top and brick on that. 15 minutes later all done. If you've got the BBQ and the brick, it should cost you no more than $20 total at the Warehouse for the Dish, the rack and the tray. (and you can get them all in stainless steel so easy to clean, no rust etc) Cheers YTB8A |

| the warehouse smokers work great but the base plate is a bit thin .under normal to light useage you should get two - three years life out of the smoker. . i burnt big holes in mine after 8 months very heavy use but luckily a sheet metal place made me a heavier new plate for no charge. |

| if you want to be different. you can place saw dust on the bottom of a wok , then place fish to be smoked on a rack. cover fish with tin foil and wok lid. allow approx 15- 20 minutes smoking time. |

An old stainless sink with a grill or mesh to sit fish on. Few planks over top or make a tin lid , wood chips on bottom of sink then just sit over gas burner. Works quite well for a quick smoke. cheers |
