BBQ

[Okiepan]

so after going to several stores and seeing several info- mercials about smokers My question to ya"ll is which do you prefer 

1) Real fire wood smoker

2) wood pellets electric

3) Propane smoker

my choice is to chop and split wood and watch the smoke out of my barrel smoker.

Number one for me, I prefer wood smokers

[Sixgun Seamus]

I have a Masterbuilt Electric that uses wood chips. Smoked a lot of meat in it and it always worked great. Set timer and temperature and check the wood chips every so often and you're good to go. Don't need anything real expensive of complicated to do a good job. You can make your own chips if you want.

I use and like a pellet grill. I’ve had the others but this one seems to do about everything I need.

I really  like  my  Traeger  pellet  smoker .  Set it and  forget it.

 

If I wasn't  afflicted  with "JOB" I would  probably  prefer  a wood smoker.

Howdy,

I have had good luck with Char-Griller cookers.

They make one little guy called the side fire box.

It can be used to just grill meat or attach to another grill

and use as a smoker.

I bought my Char-Griller on clearance and decided on making

a few changes.  An order to the company and a trip or two

to the hardware store and I like my grill even more.

Last trip to walmart they had a couple on clearance.

I bet this happens every year about now.

Their stuff is made of real metal, afaik in the USA.

Changes were easy, if you even need changes.

Replacement parts are easy to get and if you want parts

from one grill to put on another, they ship em right out

just bring money. And not a lot at that.

I like that the fire is in a drawer that I can get to without

moving one bit of food.

Just be careful and don't dump  the fire on the ground.

Engage brain before adjusting fire.

 

Check the Char-Griller website and read the reviews.

If you think it is your kind of thing, The one grill is under 100 bucks.

Some models have fire in a drawer and some have moveable grill sections.

After a few years mine  did need a little clean and paint session.

Best

I bought mine in 2007.....Still works grate.

Electric set it and forget it

I've got the same thing as sixgun seamus.  It's pretty good, but I'd be lying if i said i didn't prefer brisket that my brother in law cooks on his 'real' smoker.  I just aint got the know-how to work one of them real ones. 

 

On a side note, a pork loin in our electric is the best pork loin I know of.

Yep me too, does a great job on just about anything you put in it.
