    Any 2017 Black Friday deal to be aware of?

    If my search missed a thread somewhere else, feel free to delete this one and point me in the right direction! What Black Friday deals are you seeing right now of interest to members of this site? Any charcoal cabinets or premium pellet grills? How about an electric other than Masterbuilt...

    Backwoods Chubby 3400? Or a Chubby?

    I am second guessing myself with a small offset stick burner so I have been looking at the insulated verticals.  The gravity fed models get too expensive too fast to be a viable consideration though, they sure look tempting. I am undecided on the water pan or not issue but, I keep coming back...

    Electric or Pellet smoker?

    Yes, I know I'm in the Electric Smoker forum!   First of all, I'm looking for something with better build quality than the MES I see at the big box stores.  Right now, I'm liking the Smokin-it, LLC models but, Cookshack and Smokin'Tex are in there as well.  Then you also have the pellet smokers...

    Lang 48/60 patio options? And build quality these days?

    Okay, I'm in the market for a smoker and I'm considering a Lang or a Shirley Fabrication.  I have seen a lot of complaints on the Lang Quality Control this year.  Have the issues noted on this site and others been corrected?  What would you do with a $3K budget, 48 Delux with options or a 60...

    1/4" vs. 3/8" vs. 1/2" for a stick burner?

    I'm looking at having a smoker built and I'm trying to decide on steel thickness for temperature stability in bad weather.  Is a 1/2" body overkill or a fuel hog?  How do 1/4" and 3/8" compare in terms of performance, fuel consumption and, temperature stability? For the firebox, is an insulated...

    Whole hog in small smokers?

    If my search skills are lacking, please point me in the right direction!   I'm thinking about a 24"x 40" reverse flow smoker and got to thinking about whole hog (or suckling pig ) in one for Boy Scout outings and similar sized events.  How big a hog/pig can you smoke effectively in smaller...

    Patriots BBQ pipe smokers?

    Who has experience with Patriots BBQ pipe smokers?  What I see on their web site looks good and a phone call to them was well worth the time spent. How would you compare them to Lang and other reverse flow smokers, or other premium pits in a similar price range (Gator Pits, Klose, etc.)?  The...

    Long burns between adding more fuel to the firebox?

      I have read a lot of the threads on this site about the various virtues of reverse flow, tuned, etc. stick burners, the benefits of heavier cook chambers and insulated fire boxes and other things. Which brands and styles of smokers are better or best at cooking for long times between adding...

    Smoker purchase advice sought

    I'm want a "good" smoker.  Pay once, cry once, no regrets on money wasted on the wrong inferior smoker. I have looked at the Lowes, Home Depot, Bass Pro, etc options and I'm not going to throw good money away on one. I'm considering an Electric Smokin-It #3 but, it's ~$1K when its all said and...

    Looking forward to some good smokin' :-)

    Newguy here ...  I got hooked on REAL BBQ in Huntsville, Alabama after a corporate move.  After having pot roast masquerading as BBQ with some cheap sweet sauce most of my life, I wasn't a huge fan of true BBQ.  Good meat on a gas grill was the norm or, on my mother's electric grill in her...

    Cookshack or SmokinTex?

    I have narrowed my choices down to a Cookshack or SmokinTex electric smoker.  Shopping on-line and sight unseen is a little difficult with a purchase like this so here I am!   I believe the 14x18 inch grates/racks are important to me and I want enough "volume" for a large turkey.  I don't see...
