Does anyone have a Smoker?
I'd love to get a CookShack smoker or a Green Egg but they are a bit out of my price range at the moment.
I'm looking at the Weber Smokey Mountain Bullet Smoker. Does anyone have this one? How do you like it? What kind of smoker do you have? Cheers, Vic

Had a Bradley, wore out the puck feeder then the element finally burnt out. Loved it, would buy another one, but a six rack digital this time. Currently using a masterbuilt. It's pretty good but has some quirks. With only one element to generate smoke and heat it's hard to get enough smoke when doing bacon and hams in the summer temperatures. For just doing ribs and chicken it works very well. The masterbuilts go on sale at Can Tire 1/2 price a couple times a year. I got mine in August.
I'd like to try an egg too.

I had a masterbilt too for a while and since then built my own (which I then gave to a friend when I moved last year). Don't know how strong your DIY skills are but I was able to build a smoker pretty close to what the Egg is like and it was packed to the nuts with every feature I could think of (sad to admit but I could actually monitor and control it from my office).
.... Oh, and it cost me a quarter of what an egg would...

If only I could find the time to use it as much as I want too.

I have a brinkman gourmet (charcoal fired) but I am building a biger one out of a upright freezer so I can do large smokes and big batches of sasuage. it is going to be electric with an external smoke box so I can cold or hot smoke.

The Weber Bullet
I used to have a side fire box smoker and had many a good seasons with it. I liked the amount of food I could fit in it. Unfortunately it had uneven heating and it was difficult to achieve the temperatures I wanted. I bought a 22" Weber Smokey Mountain and love it. I set up the fire and put on the meat. Adjust the carbs once or twice during a 6 hour smoke and things turn out great.
I have never tried an electric but I not sure if you can beat the flavour of lump charcoal cooked ribs with hickory and apple wood smoke.
