Howdy, Frank --
I currently have a Chargriller (www.chargriller.com) that my wife gave me
for my 30th birthday a couple of years ago. I am extremely happy with the
model I have -- a barrel smoker with an offset firebox. I have smoked
everything you can imagine in this thing, and it holds a ton of food. A
couple of weeks ago, I smoked two racks of ribs, 15 lbs. of pork butt, a
7-lb. chicken, 3 lbs. of sausage, and a half pound of habaneros at the same
time. You might also consider googling the topic, as I know there are
several websites devoted to the subject.
To make an on-topic analogy, you can grow very good chiles with a few seeds,
a shovel, and watering can. You can grow very many chiles with a tractor, a
greenhouse, and an irrigation system, but the chiles will not necessarily be
any better.

Subject: [CH] Smoking chiles and dead animals
Hi,
If anyone has any advice on smokers, I would like some input. I will use it
for smoking some chiles (seasonally), smoke cooking of various veggies and
for animal carcasses.
I am looking at getting a two chamber smoker to be able to slow smoke at low
temperature.
There are two basic designs available, one with a small and large chamber
joined horizontally and another with a small fire chamber set horizontally
joined to a square vertical cabinet.
If the fact that I will only sometimes use it for chiles is too far OT,
please e-mail me offline.
Also a few good links to BBQ sites/e-mail lists where I might learn more
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank
