No good BBQ in Colorado?! Time to make my own.
Well, things spiraled out of control and I ended up purchasing a MES. Smoked some butt last weekend, and I have one in there now. Couldn't be happier.- nnamssorxela

No good BBQ in Colorado?! Time to make my own.
I have a couple more basic questions. I'm thinking of holding off on the electric portion of the smoker and just getting the thing working on charcoal/wood first. I'm trying to figure out if I want 2 doors on the side (smaller on the bottom 1/3 for tending the fire, and water tray if used, and...- nnamssorxela

Hi y'all, I've just recently moved out to Colorado from South Carolina which meant leaving my favorite BBQ joints behind. I've been to a couple "bbq" places out here, but it just isn't the same.
