what type of smoker do you have?
Posted on 9/5/11 at 8:14 pm
Posted on 9/5/11 at 8:14 pm
i'm looking at getting one and not sure what kind i want. the offset-box smokers look a little cumbersome and appear to have a steep learning curve. the cabinet style look appealing because they seem to be the easiest to manage.
just interested in what others think. i consider myself good at grilling, but i do not have any smoking experience.
i was looking at the backwoods chubby which runs a little over $900.
any other suggestions are much appreciated!!

I have a water smoker and an Old Country...both are awesome.

2 big green eggs (medium and large) and a weber smokey mountain. I did a lot of research, and given many years with all 3, for the money, go WSM, especially now that they offer a larger size with a thermometer. I love my eggs, but I feel real good when I put those briskets and butts on the WSM at 8pm that at 8am the temp will still be 250.

looks like a great smoker.
Insulated. Nice air control.
I dont know that it could hold a temp longer than about 6-8 hours with that little fuel. It is just according to what you want out of one. I wanted a smoker that would hold up to 40 lbs of fuel, so I could do clods or other huge pieces of meat without having to refire or refuel.
But that looks like a great cooker at a really decent price.

i've seen a lot of positive reviews on the wsm. it's also more affordable at around $400 i believe. any negatives that you've noticed?

i've got a weber smokey mountain...i love it. learning curve was pretty low and i've been able to produce some pretty fantastic smoked meats. bought one for my mom and she loves it as well.

The WSM is a great cooker. Probably been more smoking done on one of them than any other piece. Hell, I just got mine to have something to play around with and talk about.
I must admit, the Backwoods competitor is alot like mine, mine has more room for the fire box. I really like that feature.

WSM.
Doesn't get easier.

I have a friend who does competition cooking.
He cooks for the public on a huge, expensive off-set smoker rig.
But, the meat for the judges is done on a WSM.

Big green egg
Posted on 9/6/11 at 6:33 am to Uncle JackD
Count me with the eggers...Big and Mini. Bought it because I wanted to do more than smoke. Did two racks of ribs yesterday; stabilized it at 250, put the ribs on, and it cruised for 4 hours.
I'd avoid smokers that use pelletized smoking woods. God only knows what's in that stuff. I like to use recognizable chips & chunks.

Offsets are nice if you want to burn logs and need a lot of space for huge functions, but they require a ton of baby-sitting to make sure the temp is correct. The WSM is great for most people that only cook for a few people since they are pretty much set it and forget it. I can get up to 16 hour burns at 250 degrees with little to no baby-sitting on my WSM.

I have a WSM. For a good, cheaper smoker, I recommend a Brinkmann Gourmet Charcoal.
