newbie looking for a smoker??

[rbnice1]

So im no expert but I have owned 5-6 smokers over the years.  Ranging from both the small electric and charcoal bullet water smokers, to a large vertical smoker with side chamber for heat, to a nice masterbuilt rectangle vertical charcoal smoker, to this new MB40.  The MB40 is by far the most versatile.  I was a bit upset with the wood chip adding on it.  Seemed like you had to add wood every 30 minutes, but a amazN took care of that.  being able to smoke at low temps is very cool.

yea I think I'm leaning towards the mb40 and an amazen! just have to make sure I get a gen 2.5 correct?

Correct, you want the bluetooth Gen 2.5.

I've had a great experience with my MB30. Set and forget, with the exception of occasionally adding woodchips. I rarely even look at water, and I live in Minnesota aka Little Canada. HEat is basically sucked out of all things faster than happiness. We are below 30 Fahrenheit 6 months out of the year here. That being said, you won't regret the MB40. Its about as easy and low maintenance as they come.
