I own a mes 40.....why didn't you remind me......I use it for sausage and sticks......and a few yard birds............Maybe I need to go back to Bacon and eggs in a paper sack!! I did that a bunch as a Boy Scout leader..........I do like my Dutch ovens and a outdoor fire.......Maybe I need to read my signature line every now and then........Then I will know what toys I have to play with. Hell I left out all of the AMNPS and Tubes. If you don't have a AMNPS you should have.....It's like a kettle grill........A must have!!........Now we are to temp........I'm not smart enough to look at a smoker and say YUP THAT IS GOING TO BE GOOD
I have a cheap masterbuilt propane smoker and a vision kamado. For me it's no question it's the kamado. It's just to easy and the results are to good. I use it at least 2x a week cause i can also grill chicken and steaks and burgers oh my.
I had a hard time getting TBS with the propane smoker but not with the kamado.
We'll depending what I'm doing... I really like my mini. The GOSM has been a workhorse for many years! I have to agree with Dave the front load Big Chief is a great smoker for fish (should've never sold mine!)
Since I smoke almost 100% Salmon I use my two trusty ole Big Chiefs. I do have a Masterbuilt propane smoker but It sits dormant most of the time unless I want to smoke some butter and cheese using only my AMNPS as a heat source.
