Hello all,
First time posting and looking for a little advice from the folks in Arizona or hot weather climates regarding offset smokers. I currently have a Masterbuilt electric smoker that I have been using for the past six years. This has been a great learning experience as it was the first time I had prepared and smoked an assortment of meats (went to college in Texas which is where I was introduced to smoking!). It is nice to have, but having anything larger than a 13lb brisket or turkey makes it rather tight with not much room to add other meats.
Which brings me to my question, I am in the market for a new offset smoker and I have been trying to find information regarding how any smokers handle the daytime and evening heat. Most evenings we are still above a 100 degrees after the sunsets. Anyone have problems with a certain brand handling the heat, smoker burning too hot, or any other overall problems? I would be using a large pool umbrella to try and shade the smoker as much as possible, but curious to hear y'alls comments.
Thanks in advance.
