    Bradford pear?

    Help please. Wanting to get started

    Family of 5 but I like to have leftovers lol. Im thinking charcoal or pellets. Possibly wood. I dont mind being hands on but there would be times I smoked overnight and wouldn't want to have to stand over it

    Help please. Wanting to get started

    Im thinking pellets but i dont know enough about smoking to be confident in my decision. Id like to pay around $500ish. I dont mind being hands on but when smoking overnight i would like something i can leave for several hours and get up and check as needed

    Help please. Wanting to get started

    Hello everyone. Im wanting to buy a smoker but dont know where to start. I love to grill but have no experience smoking. I will probably start out with Boston butts but also want to have enough room for rack of ribs. Any recommendations for beginners?
