Masterbuilt Gravity Series. They recently came out with new model with improvements.

I'd stay away from Masterbuilt at all costs. They have horrible customer service and their smokers will go out after a few years and often times parts are no longer available. Spend the money to get something that will last.

Very interested in the Weber searwood though. It's $100 off now but still $900

I have the Weber Smokefire and its been nothing but trouble


The Smokefire was a trainwreck, but Weber apparently learned from that and developed the Searwood as a whole new product.

Some folks (per YouTube) who complained about Smokefire problems got new Searwoods sent to them. Worth looking into.

I posted about my (limited) experience with my new Searwood in another thread. So far, so good.

I have a recteq and love it, no issues with mine.

I have a backyard beast, but if I were in the market now, I would consider getting their dual fire.

I have had a Masterbuilt for about 5 years

Got my Masterbuilt from Home Depot just before COVID. Added the cold smoker attachment about a year later (can now go 5-6 hours between adding chips as opposed to hour and a half to 3 hours).

I love it. I actually have a 9 pound pork butt smoking in it as I type this. I've done ribs, pork butts, briskets and turkeys in it and been happy

Only downside is that the cabinet width isn't big enough for a full packed brisket. When I get them from Snake River I have to separate the point and flat prior to putting them in. I've also had to cut a couple of racks of ribs in half and smoke them on two different levels.

I have a camp chef vertical smoker that I've been happy with. Agree on smoke tubes, they help a lot
