I replaced my old smoker a couple of months ago, it was a fuel hog. If I was smoking a brisket, it took over a 20lb bag of charcoal. I still have it for sentimental reasons, dad gave it to me, but I really didn't like the amount of charcoal I had to use to cook anything. So the wife agreed to let me replace it. Decided on a Backwoods Chubby. More than I wanted to spend, but it should be the last one I ever need to buy. I like it because it's insulated and I can use it during the winter and won't have to fight heat loss as much.

Decided it was entirely too short for me so I built a rolling cart to make it easy to move around the deck if necessary.

Today I have pork spare ribs and a couple of racks of beef ribs on it.
