lowes is willing to work with me and give me a deal on another smoker since ive had issues with there smoker. I talked to masterbuilt and found out that they do build the master forge smokers for lowes . they build 2 models for them. both electric, one large and one smaller. masterbuilt admitted the issues they have been having to me over the phone and were very kind and explained things to me. lowes agrees with me that to keep trying different smokers to find one that has been repaired should not be something the consumer should have to do, and also i shouldnt have to have masterbuilt send me the controller just IN CASE it breaks.
ANYWAY, I can get a smokin it model 1 for 260$ new including shipping from the company website with a small discount. or lowes is willing to sell me a 18" weber smokey mountain for 250$. Now I understand both of these smokers are considered very great, well working and highly rated smokers. I like the idea of electric because its easy but i started out on a brinkmann smoke n grill last spring and understand getting temps right. although my brinkmann i think i drilled to many holes in the pan and could no longer control the temp.
Basically Im not afraid of charcoal, i like messing with the fire getting it right, but the smokin it electric has the simple start it and go thing i like. If it were you and could get one or the other for the same price, which would it be. a brand new weber smokey mountain or a brand new smokin it model 1.
smokin it model #1 260$ shipped OR
Weber smokey mountain 18.5inch 250$ + tax at lowes.
