I'm inspired by Alton Brown's flowerpot smoker. It looks like a fun project, plus an ingenious way to save a few hundred bucks (For reference, see http://www.naffziger.net/blog/2008/07/05/the-alton-brown-flower-pot-smoker/)

Does anyone have experience building one or using one? Any comments on the sourcing of the components or effectiveness of the homemade smoker itself? Thanks!
