Sometimes we manage to spend the whole day hunting and it usually ends with both being very tired and being very hungry. If you are planning to hunt like that on a site or area that will permit it, a smoker can be an awesome hunger fix. The cool thing about using a smoker, the smaller type like a Brinkman that costs around $50, is that you can smoke a great variety of things. Once the smoker is fired up and going, you basically just put your items on and forget them (other than maybe keeping the water pan filled). There is nothing quite like smelling the ole smoker slow cooking hamburgers, sausage, hot dogs, chops or whatever else as you hunt. Plus, on some things that don't take but a few hours to cook, you can stop early and grab a piping hot meal and then get right back at it. Sometimes just knowing that you have something hot and delicious cooking as you detect makes digging those trashy targets a little easier to do. of course you may have to keep a watchful eye out for those pesky food thieves that can show up. An ice chest with some cold drinks can top it off in grand style. this works extremely well when taking the grandkids out detecting for the day, really keeps their interest up. I would figure it would work well with group hunts as well. I have seen smokers completely change attitudes as people began to smell the "goods" cooking, who knows, might even open a new permission to a place. Have smoker will eat good! DL
