I'm just like Smoke ( on a budget )
« Reply #-1 on: February 16, 2013, 04:54:17 PM »
Oh Boy I bought a cooker on an impulse buy ???
At Academy sports looking at a small aluminum Jon boat & went to the grill area.
Found a display model Cajun Injector chicken cooker ( charcoal ) for $69.
I'm going to make a charcoal ring & probably have to fabricate hooks ( only thing missing).
Not the best build but it'll do for hunt camp!

I am on a budget as well Mr. Mardi Gras  :D ;D :D ;D

I haven't had a vacation since 1994  ??? ??? ::) 8) :) :)

You are going to be pleasantly surprised at how well that cooker works as a smoker.

Good snag!

Shame it was missing the hooks, we still have 3 or 4 new in the box at that price. It is kind of a low tech, poor man's PBC. Since the 30 gal barrel is in 3 pieces I hear it has some issues with smoke leaking out around the sections, but also hear it is an awesome chicken cooker.

Mine leaks in one section so I rolled up some HD foil and wedged it in the section that leaks. It has burned my chicken everytime, but it actually is a pretty nice vertical smoker. If you grill in the bottom section, it cooks like a Old Smokey because of the clearance between the cooking grate and the charcoal  ;)
