I have had a look in here for an answer but to no joy.

I am looking to import a new smoker this month but I need a good but cheap exporter and was hoping someone could recommend someone they have used in the past?

Steve Heyes from Jedi Swine Tricks got his smoker brought in so can give you some directions

What are you getting??? Is it on a trailer or is it just a big smoker that will be in a crate as this will affect which shipping company to use.

Yes I should of said. I think made my mind up on a Battle box from Humphreys.
I did like the G2 party but the price a little out my range.

its great to see the variety increase out there. You will end up having to ship it on a pallet even though its small due to the weight. company I have used in the past is Formula Freight, I think they are now intercargo. I would advise getting a door to door service because you will incur additional costs and a headache if you are trying to pick it up yourself form the docks.

I am sure you know this but you will be charged import (about 5%) and VAT on whatever price they put on the value of the invoice.

Indeed - and note you pay VAT on the full shipped cost - (item + shipping cost).

That battle box looks amazing. I'd love one of those myself! Are there no UK distributors? Or anything similar available in the UK?

Thanks Toby,any news on your cooker I seen on facebook yet? looks good.

VAT and Duty I hope to claim back but it is in the budget.

I wish!! great looking cookers for the price, I do like the Weeble and half pints they do, for being more portable. But they may be another topic.

They do look like a BBQ beast

I've never seen these type of smokers before.

What's the advantages over say a GMG Jim Bowie?

Pete

@Pete, I was thinking of going for a Jim Bowie but as I have never tasted food on one I thought best stick to what I knew.
Also when I did my "want" and "needs" list this kind of cooker ticked more boxes for me. I have just enough cooking space for my needs, and they come in a range of cool colours
