smokingmeatsforum.com and www.bbq-brethren.com are two sites worth visiting if you want to spend more than a few hundred. Weber Smoking Mountain seems to be the most recommended for under $300.
Highly recommend a temp probe like the maverick 732. If you want I could loan you mine. I don't see myself smoking anything over the next few months.
Regarding the CL smoker. I don't have firsthand experience with them, but consider that the metal is going to be thin on budget smokers and will use a lot of fuel and time to make sure it is at temp. |
Good stuff, thanks. Thin wall makes sense, I imagine stabilizing temp is also harder.
Thanks for the offer on the probe, I'll let you know when I get a smoker, won't be for a few weeks, probably going down to NC in week to learn from a master, will get a smoker right after Christmas I think.
