What smoker should I get?

[hollymaster]

I like my Bradley.  Set it and forget it.

Do you have a 4 or 6 rack. I have the 6 rack and have had nothing but problems. I am on my third unit since 2014.

Going on 5 or 6 years with the 4 rack digital for me.

I have a Masterbuilt and love it. never really used anything else though so I dont know what I could be missing out on. I use this forum Quite a bit when I'm looking for anything smoking related. Might help you make a decision and it will def help you after you make a decision.

I have the 6 rack.  Have had it for about 10 years now.  Love it.  At Thanksgiving I can fit a duck and a turkey in it.

Masterbuilt 40 inch.

I have a 40 inch MES and also have a GMG Daniel Boone. I bought the MES with big ideas of smoking all kinds of stuff. I will probably only use it for making sausages any more. After getting the GMG I cannot see making ribs or pulled pork or most anything else on the MES. The GMG is just too easy.

If you are going Pellet I will recommend Rectec.  I have had another brand mentioned and had issues.  switched to Rectec and never looked back.  Awesome grill, built like a tank and hands down the best CS or any company in any industry I have ever seen.  Customer #1 is instilled from top.  Every grill even comes with an emergency card that has both owners and the GM's personal cell numbers.  Call them even on a holiday and they will call you back if not answer the call immediately..

Happy with it except I need to cut full racks of ribs in half before putting them in there.  4 shelves and each can fit a rack if cut in half.  It works for me, especially for the price but, with a higher budget, I would have gotten bigger

I also have the Bradley six rack digital for 8 years, love it!
takes all the guessing out of BBQ.

I also have a 4 rack non-digital as well I have had for 16 years still going strong.

I have this propane smoker. I really like it. Hard to keep temps low enough for perfect salmon smoking. With the vent wide open, and tray full of water, it stays around 220-240. Makes awesome ribs and tri tips. Going to do a turkey one of these days. Kokanee and salmon come out good, just gotta really work to keep the temps down.

I was given an Oklahoma Joe's charcoal/wood smoker as a gift this summer and I am very happy with it - it requires your attention but to me that's part of the fun of it. I did four pork butts, three split chickens and three salmon on it a couple of weeks ago for a party we hosted and everything turned out great.

Once you have it figured out they can be left on their own - my old New Brunfels Black Diamond that has been extensively modified will run at 225-250 for six hours before needing the charcoal basket filled back up.  The heavier units like the Oklahoma Joe work pretty well right out of the box, it's just a matter of learning how to use an offset smoker.
