A Bar-B-Chef charcoal cooker/smoker with the firebox to the side is a couple hundred bucks and does an excellent job. I am tossing around in my mind whether to buy one - or borrow my brother's and then forget to return it - or find one of the ceramic "egg" cookers to try out. At U$400 or so for a decent sized one I want to be sure what I'm getting into before springing the dosh to have my own. Without building a pit in the yard those seem to be the choices. -- ENJOY!!!
