search did not turn up much.
Is this thing a joke, or does it work?
dad has a weekend place with another family. they had an old smoker w/o a fire box for 25+ years, but they kinda quit using it in lue of a kettle, I gave them a few years ago. I've told them MANY times, id fix the rust and put on a fire box if they want.
anyway; the other family is buying the The Smokenator 1000, and drilling a hole in the lid of dads kettle for the thermo.
first I've herd of this, do they work?

Re: The Smokenator 1000
My dad has one. I talked him into cause, well he doesn't like bending over to add coals (Bullet smokers). He went to an electric ECB and then a vertical gas fired thing -both of which didn't give him the results he wants (did I mention he asks for advice and then doesn't listen to it ) Anyway, then I told him to get a ceramic but he got sticker shock. Then I suggested the smokenator it as there wasn't many alternatives left He uses it, so he must like it.

Re: The Smokenator 1000
don't know much about them at all, but it seems like it would work. seems like a decent thing for the price(55.00). especially if someone didn't want to buy a smoker and already had the weber.

Re: The Smokenator 1000
The 2600 (the one for the 26.75" kettle) was actually my first smoker
These do a great job. They're not incredibly expensive (hey, that guy's gotta eat, too...lol), and they're handy on a kettle. I've gotten some really good cooks using them.

Re: The Smokenator 1000
I have not used one all you need is a roll of Foil. If you cover the unused portion of the charcoal grate with foil it forces the air up and through the fire. it gives a whole new prospective to temp control and itis easier to add coals should you need to( no small hole to deal with.
For long cooks like 12+ hrs on butts or Brisket I use the ring of fire set up it is set & forget.

Re: The Smokenator 1000
I have the Smokenator 1000 -- it does a pretty good job for what it is. Since I got the Primo XL, it doesn't see much use. I use the Smokenator if I want just a slab of ribs for me and SWMBO. Quick and easy.
