Isn't there someone in MN area that builds good smokers?

Thank You HRK ,I know he was a lose to my Family so I really know it was a huge lost to his Family & the hundred's of friends he had
Jon as long as your getting a BBQ smoker ,I would go the Tejas route unless you can find a good one up your way ,

That's not completely true, it depends on what you build, lots of guys build plywood smokers, using normal bits from local hardware stores, then connect their heated smoker to the wood shed.

You can then cold or hot smoke a ton of stuff, and it's not expensive, works out really well. One guy in CT did this, I'll have to find his pictures, and runs the traeger pellet smoker to provide smoke, then he has a heat source for inside once he wants to add heat.

Here are some home made examples

scroll down to see the wood sheds, kinda like an outhouse.

Here's some images of his smoker this is run in CT all year long
