I got the money now what? I want a big ole smoker but I also want it to be efficient! I’m coming for smoking on uds’s... I love my current flavor profile that I get on them. Also love the set it and forget I get from them. Please feel free to tell me what to get and why ? Remember 3000 is with shipping ! I’m really loving the t&k smokers !
 
Anyone have any advice? Is gravity feed really better then a reverse flow? If so why
 
I owned an Assassin 24 and absolutely loved it. I sold it because it was huge and we move every 2-3 years with my job. They have phenominal quality and craftsmanship. Stumps are also one of the best from what i read but my Assassin was cheaper with more features. The folks at Assassin were above and beyond great. I was so impressed. My only complaint with it was I travel all the time for work and you need to make sure you keep everything well seasoned (any smoker like this) because it is really easy to get rust in there. And i was in California where there was almost no humidity. I had 4 racks and only used 1 regularly, 2 on occassion, and the other two only got used a few times. They rusted while on the garage shelf and had to be cleaned up and reseasoned before they could be used again. That is all steel smokers not an assassin thing.
 
I just ordered an assassin 24 and it's being delivered on Monday. Looked at stumps, deep south, and found that assassin offered a lot for the price. Can't wait to fire it up.

You won't be dissapointed. Mine was amazing. If we didn't move so often i would still own it. OUTSTANDING results. You will be the center of attention if you aren't already lol
 
One of my bucket list goals is to own an Assassin gravity fed. One of these days...... So that is my 2 cents worth also
 
Thanks for all the reply’s guys ! I decided to order a T&k reverse flow cabinet smoker! I should have it next week!
 
Russ.... Very cool... We will need pictures inside and out... Pics of meat being smoked too... and congrats on your new smoker...
