Hello all,
Well, I think I will start out this thread with a little back story first. I was given the "el chipo" torpedo smoker from a little old women from down the street, she gave it to my dad who also didn't want it. Do not ask me why she had it, but it had never been used and I thought I would at least give it a shot. Shortly after that, I found this website and I was on my way, and needless to say I have been hooked on smoking meat ever since. Over the coarse of this past summer I have done several smokes and for the most part, the meat has turned out great.
I have learned that I am limited on what can be done on this little guy and was thinking about upgrading to something a little better for christmas. That is where you all come in. What would be a nice upgrade that keeps the process simple but gives me more freedom to do some larger cuts of meat and might give me a little better results? Don't get me wrong, the little torpedo has served me well, but each smoke has been different from the others, sometimes I cannot get the heat up enough, sometimes I cant get the heat down, things like that. I would love to get something that is a little more consistent so I can really take this to the next level.
Thanks
