Is lookin for wood to cook with.
I'm new here and don't have a clue how you'll feel about your heat source so I'll just ask.
I'm thinking that electric with real wood smoke is ok. I realize it may produce a dryer product than gas but that can be adjusted for and I like my bark so really don't want to use gas.
I also know that cooking with real wood can be a bit of a challenge especially if your smoker isn't designed correctly and by that I mean it isn't cheap. Plus I not up to the long stakeouts watching the temperature.
I'm looking for good information and solid facts to guide my next purchase of a 50 to 120 pound capacity smoker. This smoker will be set up in an outdoor kitchen which will be designed around the smoker.
I have done a little looking and prefer ones that could hold a full size hotel pan on the racks. I'm not interested in bling and I'm more impressed with durability, good temperature control, ease of use and replacable parts that I can source locally or easily.
I'm not sure if it is ok to name manufacturers but the model that looked decent was a 1500-CXLD.
Can you'll start nudging me in the right direction?
Thanks,
