    What is a good price? Used MES 40"

    Thanks guys, he went for the $150.00, so the choice is mine. It may be a risk buying used from someone I do not know but it will save me about $120, compared to new and shipping from QVC. Can buy mod parts with the money I saved. Still a hard decision to make.

    MES40 old generation vs WSM

    Great advice from both of you, I will mainly be cooking brisket, pulled pork, ribs and chicken. That is about it until I get comforatble and start trying things like jerky or sausage. Which is better for those options?

    MES40 old generation vs WSM

    I have narrowed it down to two models that are totally opposite from each other, I am new to smoking and have gathered a lot of great insight from these forums. As far as reliability, longivity, and the easiest version to use what do you guys suggest?

    Beginner - Questions on which type of smoker to go with.

    Red thank you for your thorough response.   I honestly would like the convenience of being able to set the temp and let the smoker do the work, so that is something to consider for the electric smokers. The one difference a lot of people claim is with an electric smoker you won’t get the same...

    Beginner here- questions

    My only concern on wood compared to electric is I heard the WSM does not have a thermomoter on it, therefore that seems to leave a lot of trial and error and the possibility of wasting a lot of meat. I may be wrong though, like I said I am a beginner. Also is the 18.5 plenty big for someone at...
