After reading reviews on all the different smokers im more confused now then when I started. seems like for every 5 star there are two 1 star ratings on the same smoker. What I am looking for is a smoker that can be used outside, maintain temp when its 30 or 80 outside, get to temp in a reasonable amount of time, use wood or pellets preferably auto feed, cold smoke, or up to 270 degrees. (basically what they should do) don't care if its gas or electric. needs to be at least 40" for ribs and briskets. Im getting this for a friend who wants to step up to some better equipment. We both do a lot of smoked salmon and Tuna. I built my smoker and can maintain temp within a couple degrees from 100 to 250 which is really nice for a consistent product . He's not to mechanically inclined and I have no time to help him . probably willing to spend 1500.00 if need be but never apposed to saving some money. Sorry for being long winded, THANK YOU SO MUCH
