I am interested in purchasing a smoker. A quick little info. I have a family of 5 and if I have siblings/spices over I easily reach 15 people.
I have been researching for a couple weeks now and still feel a little lost. At first I was all set on the Pit Boss Copperhead 5 due to its "set it and forget it" ability with electric pellet. Then after reading more I got turned away from electric due to not being able to get a solid smoke ring.
Then I was leaning towards Cuisinart COS-244 but am afraid it will be too small for larger groups.
Which put me towards the Masterbuilt MB20051316 MPS 340g XL. I read kn the forums about the older model 340g XL about adding gaskets to the door, changing smoke pan to a 10 inch cast iron skillet, sealing it with RTV and adding wheels. I dont see much info about the new models that the doors open the other way has wheels and looks different.
I haven't been able to go to the store to really check any out except for the PB pro 4 at lowes which looks like quality but it is electric. I would love some input from all of you with experience on these units or ones that you would reccomend. TIA I appreciate it.
