I just picked up 2 from Logan, still 9 more on the shelf. Full price on the shelf but scans at $19.99
sells on eBay and other online stores for over $40
Comes with carry bag, collapsible frame, base, lid, 3 racks and burner.
The frame has lot of perforations to support the racks, so it will probably leak smoke when compared with non collapsible models. however for the convenience of compactness and the $20 price it's worth trying out I think.
Well if you get the munchies afterwards you'll have some fresh gold fish right there.
Thanks, OP - we've been looking for a new smoker to take camping and this looks ideal.
Any comments on the smoker catbrain? good/bad? I notice it's still on sale & been thinking about grabbing one…
Haven't had a chance to use it yet, we haven't been fishing for a while and not likely to for another month or so. Having said that, I was planning to drop into ALDI on the way home and see if they still had any sides of salmon left ($25.99/kg 7 day special this week), wouldn't mind cranking it up for some smoked salmon over the weekend.
I'll let you know if we do / how it goes.
The only thing that might be an issue is all the air vents - our previous smoker was only 1 rack but didn't have any vents.
Used it today for 2 small rainbow trout on the middle shelf. Had to adjust the flame a couple of times to get it smoking well enough; SO thinks if you're smoking fish on the top shelf they'll need to be thin fillets. Not sure I agree - the smoke rises. I think perhaps those air vents are very efficient for getting the smoke throughout the box.
If you do buy one, be careful with the bottom tray piece of the box - the edge is very sharp, I got a slight cut on my finger that must have been deep because it bled heavily.
Definitely better than our previous smoker and a bargain for $20.
Many thanks for your review catbrain!! Based on your words I will grab one & take a file to the sharp edge. Hope your wound heals quickly, I really appreciate you coming back to share your thoughts.
Oh nice. My goldfish have been hassling me for ages for a way for them to smoke up. Sick of all the looks they give me when I exclude them >.>
