    Electric smokers vs charcoal smokers?

    Can't help with the versus part of this thread, but I posted a thread on here awhile back that gave me advice on electric smokers you might of want to look through.  old sarge was a big help, bearcarver has a lot of great posts here as well.   In the end I picked a Smokin It 3 and built...

    If you could get any sub $1000 electric, what would you get?

    Update, attempted my first real smoke today.  Went with a brisket.  Wasn't the best brisket I ever had by a long ways, but it was pretty good.  Got the recipe off another forum.  Used Sugar Maple wood.  I have a long way to go, but this is the kinda practice that I can really enjoy...

    Nice set up, I got my first #3 last thursday.  When I was unpacking it, I quickly discovered one of the rack holder pins was broken off completely.  I think this was due to rough shipping in combination with how they ship it.  They ship it with all the racks in place and accessories sitting on...

    I may get one eventually as well.  I think that is part of my reasoning for getting the $650 smoker instead of the $1200 one.    Been reading about the heatermeter over at the SI forums, may go this route instead of an Auber.  Much more my speed.  I have a lot of that stuff already because of...

    Well I bought a Maverick ET-735 from amazenproducts with the 20% off free shipping thanks to this place, that's sort of a step in the right direction...  Still have no idea what smoker I want....  Kinda leaning towards a SI3 right now, if shipping wasn't $150 I would of probably already bought...

    Yeah, I am going to sleep on it tonight, may make a purchase tomorrow.  I'd order the dual probe immediately if I ordered the SI3. This is kinda what I have right now for my pro/con list, feel free to weigh in on any of them with your thoughts.  Just some things I am considering... SI3 with...

    Yeah I kinda used my butterball turkey fryer as my entry level. It's got a really small wood drawer and functions like a lot of analog smokers. I have been using it almost weekly. We love the food that comes from it, just extremely limited on what I can do with it. It's not going to be...

    Yeah jted, the auber was one thing that me and sarge were discussing. I think I got it narrowed down to the si3 with either an auber or build my own pid or the sm025/sm045 if I can't get my budget increased or sneak buy it lol.

    Definitely will keep ya'll updated, really starting to look into the SM025.  Would like to get at least the size of the SM045 though...  Been talking to sarge some through PMs, he has been extremely helpful on some opportunities that I didn't really think to consider.  Really glad I joined up...
