Hello... i am new to the forum and new to smoking foods but becoming very interested in this hobby....
i have researched BOTH electric and propane smokers A LOT .. I am leaning toward propane. The best of both worlds would be the new propane / thermostat controlled vertical smoker that i can not find anywhere.
QUESTIONS:
1. i am leaning toward electric because my wife likes a little "bark" on her meats and i heard electric just doesn't produce bark....?
2. I AM LOOKING AT THE MASTERBUILT PRO - the price is right and i have seen positive reviews- any advice?
3. Lastly, I know i will probably need an 8"" or 10" (will 10" fit) iron skillet for the wood chunks., a good remote therm, and a bigger (how big) water pan - recommendations of which kinds and where to best find them?
thanks- Bob
