I am a new member, currently do my smoking on a Big Green Egg.  Looking to learn more and more about smokin great food.  In MN it can be hard to smoke year round but I try.  I am thinking about a dedicated smoker, something on the small size side of smokers.  I am a CPA by day, a Dad and work out at CrossFit and Karate at night and weekends.

Thanks for your patience with me as a new member.

Carl

Welcome,  the BGE is a pretty popular smoker on this site and should do a pretty decent job for you.  I am concerned that you might not be happy with a smaller offset smoker when you have the BGE.  Since you have such a full schedule you might look at a good electric smoker,  kind of set and forget.

Let us know what you are thinking and we will try and point you in the right direction.

Glad you joined us cgpcpa, welcome!
Pellet fired grills are another good option to consider and certainly meet the set it and forget style for a smoker.

Hi Carl,

Glad you found us.....I am from Minnesota too and seem to brave the cold to get the smoking done all winter long. I have a kamado kooker too. Really nice unit to control temp for those long smokes........................ Is it April 15th yet?...Oh nuts I forgot to pay my taxes................

...Just kidding, my CPA keeps me out of jail...

Albeit you can rest a little now that the last minutes peeps have left your office.....One more thing..........
