Hello all, I would first like to thank you for the forum and the extensive literature; you all have cleared the water to a great degree.
Now for a decision... I am hoping to find a smoker for both of these units:
Outdoor Products 41170B got it at Costco but now Smoke Hollow I guess - converted to NG - love it..! Best vertical water smoker I have ever owned hands down... I know there are a lot better out there but this one has taken the cake by design for me...
Holland Grill Legacy BH421-SS-3 NG (GoodWill $65 score!) Never even heard of a Holland Grill - was concerned at first but after the heat hear is San Antonio this summer, cooked on it all summer to keep the house cool - amazing slow food...
But I need a cold smoker and would like to go with something that will let me leave it unattended (i.e. sleep, leave and check on it from time to time w/o worrying about it).
It seems, from what I have read:
41170B --> A-MAZE-N-PELLET-SMOKER
BH421-SS-3 --> A-MAZE-N-SMOKER 6X6
But - do I need both if I were to only need one at a time?
Would the Pellet Smoker be to much for the Holland and is there a way to simply pour less depth of fuel?
What is the difference between using sawdust and pellets? Would it be better to simply go straight to pellets instead of juggling two fuel types?
What is the minimum cubic area for the A-MAZE-N-PELLET-SMOKER lit on one end only?
Thank you all - I will really appreciate your input as I am treading new waters here:)
