    Looking for some first-time Smoker-brisket feedback..

The appeal of electric to me was that it seemed very easy to control heat and to use (I intended to use the A-maze-n smoker tube). My concern about...

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    I had a medium size BGE for several years. I recently sold my egg and intended to buy a larger one. The hardware store I buy all my smoking supplies decided to drop BGE in favor of Komodo Joe. I am a bit torn between the two. Interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on which is a better product.

    Yet Another Equipment Advice Thread

    Hi, Sorry for what is likely a thread that's been asked 1,000 times. Asking "Dr. Google" turns up old posts/articles and sites making money off of Amazon links, which only gets one so far. This site and forum looks to be well-informed and objective. I live in North Texas and am setting up...
