Just found the forum as I was searching for my next smoker. Only been smoking for about 4 yrs and already gone through two MBS 30s. I've had it with them. So I'm looking at investing in a new electric so I'm back and forth between the Smokin-it #2 and the Smokin Tex 1400. I'm inclined to go analog as most of my issues have been with the digital controllers. I'm also looking at the larger boxes because I'm concerned that the smaller versions are just too small to handle a couple of pork bellies or more than 3 racks of ribs at one time. Anyway, really enjoying the forum - a ton of great information and some really amazing looking food!! Mike
