Need a new smoker

[catiecooks]

Pit Boss is in your price range and a 5 year warranty. Just my half cent. I don’t have enough sense to put my 2 cents in.

Thank you! Any particular model preference?

I have a Cookshack SM009 electric that was built in 2005, and a 2011 SmokinTex 1400 and both are still working just fine.
I would look for a used Cookshack, SmokinTex, or Smokin-It on Craigslist or Facebook market place to get the most for your budget.

Thank you

I no longer have the MES. That is why I am only asking for recommendations for a new smoker.

Shame, I would have offered to do the fixes since I'm not far away.

 

[catiecooks]

Which MES do you have?
Digital? Analog?
What are it's symptoms?

It’s gone. DNR.

I appreciate that, but as I’ve said the MES is dead and gone. Finito.

Are you dead-set on getting another electric or pellet? There are many other options available out there. Anytime you bring electronics or moving parts into the smoking game. There's a chance of something failing.

Pit Boss 700 classic at Wallyworld for about $400. Not huge but not tiny. Not a PID controller but I don’t have issues with my regular.

Not necessarily, but the only other thing I have is a weber kettle grill and a Blackstone. I’ve never used a regular grill to smoke meat

I have a weber kettle grill and a Blackstone.

22" Kettle ?? You already have an awesome grill/smoker then... These are pretty much bullet proof ... And easy to use with plenty of room ...

And then add the Blackstone... I'm thinking your all set already ...

OK Joe Bronco.
