Hlep!! What to buy?

[chuckdawg]

Hello everyone.  I am looking to invest in a nice/good charcoal and electric smoker.  Any suggestions would be helpful?

Do you mean charcoal and electric as in one smoker with both functions ...or a charcoal and elec smoker as in two smokers? 

I prefer the WSM which is a charcoal smoker.

Thanks for the response Bama.  I was thinking to purchase an electric smoker and a charcoal smoker.  I had my eye on the WSM 18.5 smoker, but I am unfamiliar with electric smokers.

Around here it seems many of our members own and like the MES for an electric smoker tho I must admit I personally have never used an electric smoker

These are nice electric smokers: http://www.smokin-it.com/default.asp

They are not as popular as the Masterbuilt Electric Smokers on this forum, but are growing in popularity more and more each day. I have a # 3 on the way after cancelling my MES order, several others have recently ordered as well.

Here is a link for threads on them on SMF: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/ne...n-it&resultSortingPreference=recency&type=all

Good luck!

I love the Smoke Vault!  Busy Wife/Mom......jack of all trades/master of none.....and this smoker fits beautifully in our lifestyle.  It's on sale now too!  My new one is coming on Monday!  Can't wait!

Thanks for all the replys guys. I've decided on the WSM 18.5 charcoal smoker and the MES 30.  Can't wait for them to arrive.
