Thet are all fine smokers but I believe they are all stick burners and will need to be attended to almost once an hour to add a log to keep the temperatures up. Thats great if you don't mind it but if you do not want to be tied to the smoker for long periods of time look at cookers like Spicewine, Backwoods or Stumps.

BTW: Take a good look at Spicewince before you decide. Jay makes one hell of a cooker. Good luck with your choosing.

Word. put the food on about 30 minutes ago. I'm about ready to go to bed til 8. Set the Maverick, it will let me know if something's wrong.

God love the cabinet cooker ... and beer.
