What I started with was a pile of junk grill and smoker components, most of which came from a Brinkmann "Gourmet" smoker (as shown below) that my mother once accidentally set on fire. Lots of electric smokers have this three-part lid/body/base construction, however, and the exact make and model are not important. cold_smoker_parts.JPG
