First Smoker

[jm12478]

Hello. I am new to the smoking world. I have been using a Brinkman Electric smoker for some time. It serves me well, but I'd like to invest in a wood burning smoker. My budget now is in line with the offsets offered at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. My question is, can I get good results with these models, or should I stick with the electric for now and save my pennies for a proper smoker? Thanks

Glad to have you with us!

A lot of guys on here use the OK Joe offset.

There are some mods that need to be made, but for the price they seem pretty good.
