Picked up a new toy!

ND Mike Nice score, man! You done good. Can you post some pictures of the insides?
processhead yep, I will tomorrow! They aren’t real big. I think this one holds 38 lbs of meat.

gus4416 I need to buy some pork butts!
-
ND Mike Yes indeed!
calldoctoday yeah…I was pretty happy!
-
They look a lot like another nice smoker I have seen. I think maybe marketed under a different name, Cookshack maybe?

processhead yeah they are pretty similar. Another one that is close to it is Smoking-It brand. I can’t believe what these things cost! I still want to make a smoker out an old 1950s fridge that I can get.

I was bored earlier today and was looking on a local marketplace site and saw an add for a smoker. It was a Lil Tex 1400 for $60. I opened the add and it said he’d take $50 for it. I couldn’t call him fast enough. They are selling new for over $600! I can’t afford a PK100 right now so I will make this work. I plugged in to check it out and I’m rolling smoke! Score!!!

zbigjeff she did ask me if I needed another smoker! I showed her the price of a new one and she looked me dead in the eye and said “You better go get it”!

ND Mike You DO have someone who likes that “smoked” ambiance for sure. Yep, a keeper and knows the “value”. Great for you.

I had a similar experience with a meat band saw. Since we’ll be butchering 4-5 hogs this fall I was shopping around and she asked what the meat saw would do for us. I showed her a video of one and 2 seconds in she exclaimed “We need that!”
Its so nice when they enable our obsessions.

ND Mike Much like my wife, she understands about these things now that she is more involved in home processing. She helps me make sausage and sauerkraut.

@dennyo just keep looking. I honestly stumble into these things when I am half-heartedly looking.
