Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
My opinion - easiest cooking = MAK. Best flavor = WSM. I have had both but currently use the MAK. If I want charcoal or lots of wood flavor I smoke with the Performer. To use the WSM bending is involved and I am on the outs with bending.
