Found some matches.
Good Morning from Eastern Iowa! I’ve been grilling for years, and have had a life-long passion for outdoor/camp cooking since my days with the Scouts, but just recently discovered the joy of smoking when I got an electric smoker as an early Father’s Day gift last Spring. I’m sure a lot of you here don’t consider a Masterbuilt “actually” smoking, but in the year that I have had it, I’ve logged 32 BEAUTIFUL cooks, (and two not so good ones)
Last spring and summer, I put it through its paces, but by the end of Summer, I was wanting something more than what the electric smoker could offer. Ever since then, I’ve been looking at options. I’ve continued to smoke through the fall and winter (pork ribs have been a great price this winter) but now that weather is starting to warm up, I’m willing to spend more of my time actually outside “tending” to a smoker whereas the electric required minimal attention during the cold Iowa winter. (Ha-ha!) I am strongly considering a Weber Smoky Mountain, as it seems an affordable “next-step” after the electric, and would give me some experience with heat management before investing in an offset. I’m excited for this forum, and the opportunity for sharing of best practices and ideas. Thank you for having me!
