BBQ Smoker Question

[bcmuzzy]

I'm needing opinions and reviews of which type of smoker to buy. I'm looking at the little electric, or propane small refrigerator type smokers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a Brinkman Propane Smoker and LOVE IT. Does a really good job for me. I cut some wooden dows to fit across the rack to smoke sausage and it does a great job

I've got a Traeger Pellet Smoker. Really like it because its a smoker and a grill (can turn up to very high temp w/ a switch). The heat is very consistent & many different flavors of smoke...

Oh sorry i didnt read the "refridgerator" part... ... My father in law has the brinkman like mentioned above and he really likes it. Thats what we use to make jerky/sausage on. Works great!

I usually use my wood smoker, however, my wife bought me a "refrigerator type" electric smoker last year and all I can say is I will not ever be without one from now on! The thermostat controlled heat is awesome.
As said in another response I did the same, cut dowels to fit accross the top rails and it works great for sausage. We also make our own spices and rubs, the electric works well for dehydrating peppers and such for grinding, and adds smoke when desired.

I have one of the CookShacks (electric) and I love it. I can set it and forget it and it uses very little wood. I can fill the tray with several soaked chunks, set the temp and walk away. Once the wood is used up it will act just like an oven. A good remote thermometer is a must and helps keep the door shut.

Looking at the masterbuilts.

[Mr.RonGilbert]

I just can't see myself going electric but with pics like that i may have a late addition to my Christmas list!

Lol.. I thought the same thing, and still have both, it is super easy and cooks just as good as my big'un.

We bought a Bradley electric smoker last year. Size of a small refrigerator with 4 racks. We love it. It automaticaly feeds your choice of mesquite, hickory, pecan,Jack Daniel pucks.It's easy to maintain a perfect smoking temp of 200-225 degrees because you don't have flameups with the normal chunks of mesquite logs. Best smoker we ever bought.

Well I ended up buying the Masterbuilt 40" all stainless steel with the see through window in it. I have to say I'm very impressed I smoked two chickens and six racks of ribs in it today and they turned out awesome.
