Brisket in a cabinet style smoker

[pimpc1972]

Currently I have a Brinkmann Gourmet electric smoker and I love it. The problem is that I cannot fit a large brisket in it without cutting it in half which I will not do. I'm set on buying a propane smoker but all the cabinet style smokers I have seen look like they would also be to small for a large brisket. Am I incorrect, is there a model that would fit a large brisket? I'm leaning toward getting a offset horizontal smoker and converting it to propane but would prefer to buy a smoker that is already set to go.

I have a Smoke Vault 24 & it will easily fit a full packer in it. It would probably hold 4 or 5 of them. The GOSM Big Block will hold them too. Both are propane.

This is the Gasser I was looking at, but contact the factory and ask for their best price, they are in GA so shipping shouldn't be bad...Good Luck...JJ

a masterbuilt extra wide(xl,40" etc etc) sold by bass pro shops, can fit a few of those.

Great news, thanks guys. What are yalls thoughts on the Masterbuilt cabinet smokers?

 

[dewetha]

it is fine to use out of the box(place chips in tinfoil) or with some modifications.

here is a thread dedicated to mods: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/99373/masterbuild-xl-mods-post-your-mods-here

this is my thread where I keep my list of mods. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/110959/first-smoker-masterbuilt-xl

bass proshops has it for 199 but you can catch it on sale for 179.

the other one chef jimmy J posted is pretty nice and has a few of the mods that use Masterbuilt people do.
