Hello all: Just wanted to see what you guys recommend for smokers brands etc.. or just build a smoke house ? If you don't mind maybe show what you use.
I use a pellet smoker. I can't recommend one enough. To be able to set it and forget it is what sold me. Want a little more smoke flavor and you can throw a 20 dollar smoke tube in there. Basically a mesh tube that holds pellets.
hi Randy!! i gots lots o smoker recommends just aint gonna bust em out quite yet....what do you want to accomplish ??
This is the model I have. It tours the Weber grill into an amazing smoker and grill. Slow ’N Sear® Plus | Adrenaline Barbecue Company
My Weber smoky mountain is as close to a set it and forget it kinda smoked there is without going pellet or with an automated controller. They make them in 18 and 22 inches. I gave away the big offset once I got this thing.
That's what I've heard from most everyone that has one. It's one of the all time greatest smokers and always high on the ratings lists.
I have a Weber kettle, masterbuilt electric, akorn, used to have a cheap charcoal box and also have a homemade UDS(ugly drum smoker). The UDS is by far my favorite. It cost me about 125 bucks to build and it cooks the best food. I use briquettes and chunks of wood, probably about 12 pounds of briquettes and 4 or 5 pounds of wood chunks. I've went 16 hours on a load like that and could have easily went 24. It's extremely fuel efficient and very good at maintaining temps. There's all sorts of plans and ideas floating around the net.
Ive used my Bradley smoker for over 10 years now and have no reason to change brands. I believe theyve gotten even better over the years. Smokers, Meat Smokers, BBQ Smokers, Electric Smokers | Bradley Smoker
I have been using an electric smoker and I hate with a passion that thing is always broken, so I have been saving some money, but I don't know if I should get a vertical smoker like a Stump but man they are expensive. I very thankful for all you guys suggestions and advice thank you all.
I've got the Oklahoma Joes from Home Depot and a vertical smoker that is heated by propane and I just add wood chips for the smoke. I'm going to make a reverse smoker one day. I've got all the metal pretty much. Just need time to weld it up. There's a thread on here about a reverse smoker and some good reading on the barrel smokers.
Weber Smokey Mountain is a high quality unit. Night and day difference between it and the el cheapo drum smokers. I share a brick smokehouse with my FIL. If you have the time and inclination to build one, it can't be beat.
