@ryanw that lead shield thing is crazy! I wonder what they kept inside of it and for how long. I knew an older guy that worked for the Hanford power plant in Washington State. He told me inside of the walls were bricks of lead that blocked the radiation. Crazy stuff.
We were looking that smokers from Home Depot. I almost got one at a yard sale for $15 but the guy decided to keep it. Yea, I'm still researching everything right now. It's a pretty big buy, so we wanna make sure we are going to use for a long time. We do use our gas grill a lot but I think I'll only use the smoker a few times a year. idk, maybe I'll go crazy and start smoking chili's like @haitch. :)
Thanks @haitch for the link. :)
