Perhaps its not so obvious... but what makes you think you can't cold smoke in your
WSM? Even with a Bradley or a
Masterbuilt you wont be heating with it. Why not try putting a smoke generator in your
WSM? I get it if you are just looking for a larger smoker. What size Smokey Mountan do you have? In any case you would need to use an added smoke generator of some type to a
Masterbuilt or Bradley anyway.
For what its worth... I recently finished my
WSM mini build and installed a BBQ Guru
PartyQ controller to it. This made that smoker less fussy and more set it and forget it than the
Masterbuilt I have! With the
Masterbuilt, or most any other electric smoker you will need to tend to adding chips if you are using the chip loader. It will also have temp variances to work with you need to adjust to. It seems most will forsake the chip loader in favor of an
AMNPS pellet tray (recommended) or another type smoke generator. What I am trying to say is a Masterbuilt (and likely most others) aren't as set-and-forget out of the box as you might think.
Just some BBQ for thought...
