Hey everyone haven't been on in quite a while. Been real busy with military life and family. I'm deployed to Turkey and my unit and I want to get a smoker. But where we are deployed to doesn't give us an option to just buy one. I was wondering if anyone has or knows of any company that will support us and donate a smoker for usbto have at our location. I've contacted a couple company's but no response as of now.

PBC so far and working on contacting Traeger. Charcoal would be preferred

Just a "top of the head" suggestion:

Why not take a picture of your unit. In their most battle worn, and haggard condition. ;)

Then set up a Go Fund Me page to give folks here at home an opportunity to contribute to the one thing that you can do to support morale...BBQ! ;D

Seriously... I will chip in, and I know others will if you set up the page!

Being where you are at your commander might have better luck with goat or sheep than a pig locally sourced.  What about a son of brisket grill?

If you set up the GFM page be sure and post it on here so we all can find it.
