For Father's Day I was able to pick my own gift!!! Basically between a new phone as mine keeps crapping out OR purchase my first smoker! I chose the smoker. Now I have tons of questions
Which one? Electric or Propane? (not sure I want to jump in and have to maintain a firebox for 12 hours) Where do I get wood? Chips or Chunks(didn't know there was a difference)? How much wood do I need? What kind is best for what meats? Recipes? I need lots of recipes. I'm sure I can go on and on.
I love BBQ and know my way around a grill (charcoal or gas). But I always felt a true BBQ chef knows how to smoke some meats.
Please help out a newbie. Where do I start?
After searching these boards I am looking at a Masterbuilt XL. Is the GS40 available from someone other than Amazon? Is there better? I kind of like the Camp Chef. How much propane do these guys use in a smoke?
