I have a Lang 84 smoker and I'm going on 3 years using it. I use nothing but cherry wood. I love the idea of cooking with wood. I always say Real wood Real Flavor. I use my smoker to sell bbq at street fairs and festivals and I have done events that Ive had it 100% full for 48 hours. Staying awake all night can be tough at times when you work the whole day also so I always thought about buying a second cooker that was easy. I never wanted a Pellet smoker as none were big enough. But Yoder just released the yoder cimarron pellet. Now thats a bif pellet smoker. If I ever bought a pellet smoker it would be the cimarron smoker as it holds 2200 square inches of meat. But now I have a smoker that looks real cool but its pellets. Im not using real wood anymore. If I bought another stick burner smoker I would buy the Myron Mixon H2o smoker as I got to see one in action at his class and they are well made smokers. Insulated smokers are awesome. I know my lang is not insulated and I know the Yoder is not either. I plan to use my new smoker for catering and Im not sure if a pellet smoker is the right choice. Many other catering companies all use real wood. I first like the cimarron because of the wow factor. It look awesome. I know they make a cimarron wood smoker but if I got a wood smoker I would go with the H20 smoker from myron Mixon. I have even though about the gravity smoker that myron mixon smokers makes but it don't look cool. I have to add a second smoker soon. My third smoker will be either a southern Pride smoker or a Myron Mixon H20 rotisserie smoker as by then Ill have a store front and I would need something big. But right now I'm not doing a store front. But I'm just thinking if the Yoder-Pellet smoker is a good choice for catering and events. I was all set to put a deposit on the Yoder Cimarron pellet smoker and than I thought about not using wood. Im not sure if I felt Im cheating or what. I bought a lang smoker as my first smoker as thats what BBQ Pitmaster was using on TV and I got into real wood smoking. My only problem with my smoker is keeping cherry wood. Using a pellet smoker it would be easy as I would just buy pellets.
How many use pellet smokers in catering. I have not seen any so it just makes me think. I know if I did KCBS contest I would do better with a pellet smoker. But for catering Im confused what to buy next. If I have two stick burners than I have two hard smokers.
What do you think? Any advice?
