    Considering buying an Electric smoker

    Great responses all, and some serious Q-porn from Frankly, thanks. So, am I comparing apples to dump trucks if I'm considering both Masterbuilt and Traeger?  As I mentioned, I may be able to get SWMBO to authorize additional funds if I the $600-700 is really worth that much more. PS, Sorry to...

    Considering buying an Electric smoker

    So I started looking at Masterbuilts and Bradleys as cost effective options. Based largely on N4YU's post above, I'd just about settled on a Masterbuilt 30 with cold smoke attachment + the AMNPS gadget. Seemed like that would be the best and most cost effective option for me. Then my buddy...

    Hello, I'm Focus

    Some more follow up questions that I just remembered: Am I comparing apples to dumptrucks here? Put another way: is it logical to even compare the Traeger to a Masterbuilt? Is a Traeger even really considered an electric?

I want to do jerkey as well, so the cold smoke options are appealing. And I fancy that i might cold smoke some salmon one day, but thats not a major...

    Considering buying an Electric smoker

    I've recently made the decision to go electric myself.  I have loved my char-griller with side fire box for many years, but my life demands a more set-and-forget option.  Plus the New England winters have taken their toll on the Char Griller. My 2 whole hours of research turned up the...

    Hello, I'm Focus

    Hello, all.  My name's Focus and I have been smoking off and on for around 15 years now.  I grew up in Georgia where I ate one helluva lot of BBQ pork in my formative years, but sadly didn't learn much about the craft.  I have been in the Air Force for 17 years and in that time, I've been...
