Texastom, that's a nice little smoker. Don't you just love being able to make your own ribs, brisket or pulled pork? Smoked shrimp is one of our favorites. They only take about 20 to 30 minutes. Balance the mild flavor of the shrimp with a mild wood like maple or cherry instead of hickory or mesquite. Serve the shrimp dipped in melted butter.
Although we're full-timers, our travels have slowed down a bit and we spend more time in one place than we used to when we first went on the road. Because of that, we have more time on our hands so we got interested in smoking about a year ago. For those who don't have the time, tools or talent to make your own smoker, the
Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker comes in 3 sizes. The 14" is big enough for a large turkey breast or a small whole turkey, but it's small enough to easily fit into the basement storage of our 5th wheel standing up, but those with motorhomes could probably find room if they lay it on its side. We have been carrying a 14" WSM for the past year, and we use it almost once a week.
At $200, it's a little pricey, but the WSM is one of the best, charcoal-fired, non-ceramic smokers available IMO.
