Smokers

MJ115 is right on. That website (The Virtual Weber Bullet - For the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker enthusiast ) is absolutely fabulous. The guy who started it is my buddy's friend and just was invited to Kingsford for some demonstrations. These guys are serious (not that the others on this thread aren't) about the BBQ and smoking. All you really need is something that will consistently keep temperature. The Weber Smokey Mountain does that very well. I wish I would have got one instead of my Brinkman (and probably will), just so I don't have to worry about the heat that much.

The Weber, also, will not break the bank. I think you can get them on Amazon for about $190.00.

To get back to Outhouse Jon-
I am definitely not the expert opinion you were looking for, but...
Here's my smoker, which can be used as a smoker or a regular BBQ
I use it at least 3 days a week as a BBQ, and usually smoke stuff on the weekends
Got it at Lowe's a year ago. The main part is $139 or so, and the smoke box is $49 or so. Easy & reliable, just like a good woman
Have fun

duh
maybe this will work

Another vote for the Weber. It's what a lot of serious smoker contesters use. Throw the instructions away and use the link provided above.

Caulk up another vote for the weber smokey mountian. I bought mine about 5 years ago at BBQ Galore for like $150. It didn't have a thermometer so I bought one at BBQ galore and drilled a hole in the top. I haven't been able cook a good brisket yet, but I am sure it isn't the smokers fault

Thnx for the virtual Weber Bullet link. Haven't seen that yet!

I use an electric smoker and I have no problem Smoking any meat so far. I know some of you Charcole/wood pureists think electric is . But with this electric I can control the heat fairly well it can have its temp set anywhere from 100 to 275. It works pretty darn well. Masterbuilt Turkey Fryer
It is a bit pricey but I did not have to buy it my GF got it for me for my Bday!


Do not get me wrong I do miss the fun of regulating temps like i used to with my old smoker but living arangements have worked in such a way that all this stuff is out on a wood Balcony so keeping wood going on the side is not an option at this time.

I own allot of smokers, you will need two of them one for fish and one for everything else. Fish is real hard to get the smell out any little electric smoker works for fish but for BBQ a big
Gator offset can't be beat
