This smoker is small enough to take away camping and just hooks up to a normal gas BBQ bottle. It also doubles as a normal oven, without the smoke. Using it is really simple, put in the wood chips or pellets or sawdust in the tray. Fill the top tray with water, light the burner let it smoke up for a few minutes and then place the food in it on a tray.
So my first attempt was to soak some Salmon and Snook fillets & a Squid Hood in a salt & maple syrup brine mix for 30 minutes. In then went in the smoker for an hour. The temperature is adjustable and I just turned it right down so that the smoke well and truly penetrated.
Finally, smoked fish that tastes like smoked fish. The flavour was perfect, very smoky - the way I like it. The squid was extremely morish and apart from being eaten on the spot, it would go nicely tossed through a pasta dish.
My next effort was a whole chicken. The online recipe said to remove the back bone and flatten the chook, which seemed quite easy. It was left for 24 hours in a salt and honey brine mix. This time, to make the chook even smokier, I soaked the wood chips in white wine for 30 minutes and then drained the wine from the chips, lit the burners and away it went.
I think I am partially responsible for the smoke haze covering Melbourne at the moment.
2 hours later out came a very smoky, almost boned chicken that was left over night and the tossed through a Caesar salad last night for dinner. Awesome.
Now the really good news – the importer is a bit of a fisherman and after some negotiation with him, he has come up with an offer for VYAK members. The normal R.R.P. for the smoker with 2 trays is $249.
He is going to sell the Smokers to VYAK members for $219, and donate $10 to VYAK for each Smoker sold.
He is also including an extra shelf as part of the package. 
The only catch is that the units need to be picked up from either Nunawading or Sunshine. They can be couriered to an address if required, you just need to include your postcode and they will give you a delivery quote. Payment for the unit is either in person, by credit card over the phone or EFT.
If you would like to buy a Smoker, contact Hark Enterprises on (03) 9873 2711 or email sales@hark.com.au . The units come with a 12 month warranty.
I have no relationship with these guys.
You will need to buy smoking pellets, wood chips or smoking sawdust as none are provided with the unit. I bought different smoking materials from Bunnings, Masters and BCF. I found that Bunnings had the best value wood chips.
You will also need a gas BBQ bottle.
