That changes things a lot :-) I assumed you had a mostly-regular HTPC setup in mind, this is obviously not the case. [...] > Going OFF_GRID dis summa!

Nothing like seafood > or game hot out of a smoker for 3-5 hours........ I'm South African, we do things different here. The core of our camping community are serious hard-core campers - we use whatever we have to accomplish whatever we need to do :-) Barbeques are a flat wire grid on two blocks of whatever happens to be around - bricks, rocks, you name it. A smoker is often the cardboard box the chow was packed in! Wrap the outside bottom in aluminium foil, put another layer inside, spread wood chips on inside, place on cool fire, close box. Hey, it works :-) The big problem is not the material, it is how much space the thing takes up and I don't think I've ever seen a collapsible smoker. -- Alan McKinnon Systems Engineer^W Technician Infrastructure Services Internet Solutions +27 11 575 7585 -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
