OK guys (and maybe gals)...
I'm days away from purchasing either the SmokinTex 1400 or the Smokin It #3 (unless someone can tell me how to get a cookshack for 25% off!!). After 6 years, the WMS has smoked its last brisket... time to invest in a cabinet smoker. I've made my mind up after researching, and for me the electric smoker has won.
Here is my dilemma:
1. Bark, burnt ends, crust, crunchy stuff... whatever you want to call it, is very important to me. My friends love it, and I do too. Am I going to be disappointed with the cabinet smokers? Whats the trick to get the bark? A mustard rub? Oil? There has to be a way! I know someone out there can do it.
2. Also... which smoker? Smokin It #3 is about $180 less (with accessories/shipping), but has bigger interior space. I have ZERO experience with these types of smokers.
Thanks for the help folks!
