    Some advice for a noob in a townhouse?

    Nailed it, Dave!  Smokin Tex, Smokin-It and Cookshack are all in the same quality level - stainless steel construction, reliability, etc.  I believe SI is the best value for the points Dave made, and also that they have never stopped innovating!  Larger casters than the ST, integrated PID...

    Vote for Best Electric Smoker

    Any of the Smokin-It line.  Best value in pro-grade smokers, hands down!  And the D models are the ONLY smokers with a built-in PID controller.

    Looking for comparison between Cookshack and Smokin It

    Hi John!  As you & I have talked about before, the main difference is accuracy, ability to program 6 individual "steps" in order to fully-automate your cook, and affordability.  Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, you just won't find more bang for the buck than you will with SI.  Here's a little...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I've never measured shelf-to-shelf temps, but have never had a problem with anything cooking differently enough to make a difference, between shelves.  You said you see the shelves aren't really big enough for full briskets:  Where do you buy your briskets?  I've never found one that wouldn't...

    Landmann Elex smoker concerns

    Couldn't agree with Old Sarge more!  I have 3 Smokin-It smokers (models 1,2 and 3) and LOVE them!  Built like tanks, have a great folks supporting them, but (most importantly), they WORK great!  They have a couple of new models, the 2D and 3D, that have a built-in PID controller.  That may not...

    New to Forums new to smoking. Need help on which electric smoker to purchase.

    Congrats, Smokey!  Great decision, on the SI #3!  When you lay that first full packer brisket in that bad boy, you'll smile and any doubt about your decision will quickly fade! If you haven't yet, come on over to the SI forum, as well as this one.  Lots of guides and instructions, over there...

    Smokin-It or Smokin Tex????

    Great news, Dave!  You'll love the #3!  Even with shipping, you still ended up with a better value than competitive models.  Like you said, cry once!  Believe me, once you start cranking out some killer Q, you'll quickly forget about the shipping!

    Smokin-It or Smokin Tex????

    No contest between those...the Smokin-It #3 is the way to go.  Not only will you get it cheaper than the ST model you are considering, it is 21" deep!  I actually own a Smokin-It model 1, 2 and 3, and know the difference in what you are considering.  If you want a "comparable" smoker, go with...

    New to Forums new to smoking. Need help on which electric smoker to purchase.

    Smokey, Old Sarge is right!  If you haven't researched the Smokin-It line, you owe it to yourself to do so!  I, just like you, considered the same choices you are.  I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on either, what with all the MES failure problems, and reports of fires with the...

    Electric smokers vs charcoal smokers?

    Pargeman - If you want to "step up" to an electric smoker, you owe it to yourself to check out the Smokin-It line of smokers.  Absolutely the "best bang for the buck" in the world of all-stainless-steel construction, pro-line smokers.  This is not your "big box" plastic dorm fridge smoker.  The...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    The Smokin-It model 3 is certainly not done!  The rush of new purchases actually caught Steve off-guard, while re-tooling for the new model with handles.  It will be back soon, and isn't going anywhere!  No company would discontinue its most popular model!  Soon, my friends, soon!

    While the inside of the smoker doesn't cool that fast, it may cool to an unsafe temp in a 3 hour period.  An alternate method, that I use often, is to reduce the smoker temp to 140 to hold.  That way, the surface of the meat will never drop below the safe temp, and the internal will stay nice...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Tommyboy, (one of my favorite movies, btw) - congrats on the #2!  You definitely made a good decision on the smoker, and the wood.  I've had very good results with fruitawood.  Just to concur with others, I always weigh my wood.  Looks can be deceiving (depending on the density of the wood), and...
