Hello from the Lost Sierra (Northern Sierra Nevada Mountains)

I've been smoking meat for a couple of decades. I need a new smoker as I burned out my manifold on my 'Smokey Mountain' series smoker. I'd like another one, but I hear they are not in business anymore. I like the compactness and lighter weight compared to the pellet smokers. I have plenty of fruit wood growing, so I don't need to buy pellets, and I like the propane models so I don't need to constantly hover over it all day to modulate the temperature. Any Ideas?

Even though they may not be in business, many BBQ parts are used across multiple brands.

I agree with the Smoke Vault 24.

It may require some modifications if it's in an exposed location with variable wind conditions. For better temperature control it will require a needle point valve.

I have stabilized mine with the mod's and am very happy with how it's currently performing.

I have not done a 12 hour smoke yet, but the propane option gives good temperature control over long periods. I monitor with temperature probes inside the chamber and allow for a 20-30 degree swing.

If you want more detail on the modifications and whats involved PM me.
