Smokers
Acadamy is big here in Texas, and their prices look better than Wally World.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, Academy does not offer online shopping except for gift cards. Argh!
Any volunteers to deliver one to me? I'll take you to see Niagara Falls in return.
Just kidding, guys...
My budget tells me to stay at around $100 including tax and S&H, or maybe $150 max if I fall in love with one with one of the medium priced smokers.
I'm tossing around the traditional charcoal/wood vs electric question in my head.
My reasoning is this...I'm a total novice. I didn't grow up watching the real live smoking process. Greenhorn!
However I am a fast learner and will do the research to learn smoking techniques, besides picking all of your brains.
If I go traditional, I can spend a lot of time (which I have
) learning the technique of heat and proper ventilation and moisture and time. I like to putter with things, but that could get old.
If I go with electric, I can get to the desired result faster.
And to really confuse me, there are also LP gas models out there too. But I already have a gas grill, so that would be duplication on a certain level. So that option has been scratched off the list.
I have narrowed it down to following your suggestions and going with the Brinkman brand.
Square box with front doors or bullet shaped with top lid?
Traditional or electric ?
I need a nudge...
