I just joined the The BBQ-B. I don’t have a lot of smoking experience. I’ve playing around with smoking, mostly ribs, on my old Weber gas grill using a smoke box. Decent results on ribs but I can’t get it to cook low enough for brisket. It gets done and has a good smoke ring but I can’t let it cook long enough to get it nice and tender without fear of burning. Foil helps but the heat still has an impact.
I’m setting organized to retire some time next year so I will have more time to spend cooking. I’m getting close to a descision on a smoker.
I’ve looked at Masterbuilt pellet, Weber charcoal, Traeger pellet and Yoder pellet smokers. Then online at Mak and others. I guess if possible, I would prefer to buy products built in the USA. It’s worth paying a bit more if the quality is better. The problem is, the ones I’ve looked at are about $300 to $2000.
I have a history of overbuying so, while I really like the Yoder, I’m sure a Weber would work OK. That’s my dilemma, the Weber smoker or the Yoder. My analytic side side says get the Weber. The creative side says get the Yoder and you have a smoker, grill and oven all-in-one. They are miles apart in construction, application and price.
I have to decide soon because I volunteered to provide smoked turkey and ribs for the family Christmas dinner. The (self induced) pressure is on.
