My local Morrisons are selling an oil drum smoker for £80.

I have absolutely no idea what it's like, as it says very little on the packaging, and the photo is inconclusive at best.

Now just to be clear, it'll be crap. But the first kettle barbecue I bought was a supermarket cheap job - the idea was that I saw if I liked it/used it or not. I did, and so went on to buy a Weber, knowing that (a) I would use it and could cook on it, and (b) it wouldn't rust after 5 minutes.

Does anyone have any experience with this Morrisons 'smoker'? Does it work, or is it just a barbecue in the shape of an oil drum?

According to the Sun (I don't read it, it just came up in a search), some Morrisons, at least, are already discounting that to 60 quid.

Whether that is lack of confidence in their product, or the British summer, I have no idea!
