Hi All,
I've been smoking for a few years now and am looking to upgrade past the entry level smokers I've been using (started with Masterbuilt electric, graduated to Weber grill smoking, and finally to Pit Barrel Cooker). I still want to be able to use charcoal/wood but I do not want another UDS. What are my options for under $1,000?
So far the Yoder Cheyenne and the Big Poppa Meadow Creek are about all I can find, everyone else is making pellet smokers only (I've heard pellet smokers can leave you wanting a little more when it comes to smoke ring and flavor, is that true?).
Am I missing a brand/model/option you would recommend? Should I reconsider pellet smokers? Thanks!
