Hi,
Since I know relatively little, if anything, about smokers and smoking/grilling in general, this seems like a great place to get recommendations on what smoker to buy my boyfriend for Christmas.
He's tried using a metal smoking box in our rather sizeable SS grill, but he didn't care for this at all and has been lusting after a "real" smoker.
Can anyone please suggest a smoker that would be great under the following use:
- has to be propane
- will stay outside and, as such, not rust in a relatively short time, since we have no storage space to protect it from rain
- can cook things like ribs, pork, steak, and fish (don't need anything big enough to cook big turkeys)
- this will stay in the backyard and will not used for camping, so doesn't have to be ultra-portable
- performs well in a warm environment (South Florida)
- can hold enough food for about 4-6 people (although, he will mostly be smoking food for one person-himself)
- costs under or around $200
I found the Cabela website and their 7-in-1 vertical smokers look like they might work, either the stainless or porcelain, since he would like to try deep frying, too.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks!
