New to the forum.  Been smoking off and on for about 4 years or so.  

Started with a Brinkman Gourmet electric smoker.  Absolutely love it for the small get togethers.  Also have smoked on borrowed trailer smokers a few times a year for the last few years for bigger events.  

Have only done brisket a couple times.  Stick mostly to butts and beer can chickens.  Have done two whole hogs.  

I just relocated here to Savannah from central FL and I am currently without a smoker.  I likely will pick up another Brinkman Gourmet electric just to get some meet smoked, but I am contemplated going bigger with my own trailer smoker, or at least a much larger smoker for the back yard.  If you have any helpful info, I am all ears!

Welcome aboard! Look forward to hearing about your new smoker and what comes out of it. Savannah's a great place to be, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Welcome neighbor! I'm a couple hours away. I'd say go ahead and upgrade. It's inevitable. I started with the same as you and now I've got a reverse flow Meadow Creek.

Thanks for the warm (but not too warm, low and slow, right?) welcome!

I would love to go ahead and upgrade, but I recently relocated.  I may end up in an apartment for a bit while finding the right house, and will be very limited with what I can use.  Another reason I like the electric smoker, since they can not keep me from using it on the balcony...no matter how much they complain, lol.
