Pros/Cons of stainless steel smoker interior
I am planning on buying vertical smoker from Meadow Creek (BX50). There is this option for "Stainless Steel Interior" priced at $750.00.
Does stainless steel interior have any advantages/disadvantages? I would think it requires more care after each use? I will be using this smoker mainly for backyard BBQ, not really competitions or catering. However, I am planning to have this smoker for the rest of my life (30-40 years) so I am considering all available options as the price is not the most critical factor. |

Not worth it to me. If spend that on other options or another cooker. Can't imaging a well seasoned cooker rusting out.

Only real disadvantages to stainless is weight and cost. It does not season, like steel. Which I am not convinced makes a difference. It is not like a cast iron skillet, where the food is in contact with the sides of the smoker. It will be easier to clean, and have a longer lifespan. I don't think I would pay $750 for the difference. Good steel, treated properly, will last a long, long time.
