Cheap Tesco Smoker and Love Logs Charcoal

Can You Smoke on a Cheap Smoker? Pulled Pork & Brisket Test

So of I went to Tesco on the hunt for a cheap BBQ or smoker to test out the idea. To say I was surprised by some of the results would be a huge understatement - but you'll have to check out the video for the full results.
