I was thinking of getting into this myself for fish, Glasgow angling centre have some that seem reasonably priced.
I don't know how good they are though.

I do my smoking with my bbq.  It's a weber 60cm kettle bbq and works well.  I've also done it on a modified Tescos £10 bbq with some succcess.
Have a look at some of the setup details here:

I did ribs twice over the weekend, 5 hours of slow cooking and the meat was falling off the bones.  No expensive smokers needed.

Thanks Met! Have just started googling digital thermometers and the rest of the kit.

A great resource site

However I'm not complaining!!
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

More like 5 hours or more. That's why you get a thermometer with a remote screen. Just chuck on a few coals every half hour or so and still keep an eye on temps while you're doing something else, like a brew!
In primary:
In secondary: Wine, Melomel
In keg: Teddy Hopper, Coconut stout, 4 Cs, Buzz bomb, Never Sierra, Bock, OD
In the fridge: Helles Lager, Hob Gob

Hop Bomb



My mate has a smoker. He's done brisket in it which was grand, Ive done salmon & a kg of pale malt in it. The salmon is the best thing out of it by a country mile. The malt smells like bacon (i gave shiny half of it)

Ageing: bretted 1890 export stout.
To brew:  2015 RIS, Kellerbier, Altbier.

You'll get great results with salmon if you put it onto a cedar plank and cook it in a kettle bbq.. Brisket is very hard to get right.. I've smoked brisket about 7 times and only had one I was really happy with.. I'm smoking a pork shoulder this weekend for pulled pork.. I'll fire up a few pics
