New to smoking, from Wichita, KS.
Hello all! My name is Matt, and I just dove into the meat smoking world last weekend! I took my wife to Academy Sports to buy her an electric smoker, as I saw earlier in the year that they had a pretty amazing selection. However, they have gotten rid of all but one of their compact smokers! We did see that they had a HUGE clearance sale going on. Apparently, they do this once per year. I found an Oklahoma Joe’s Bandera smoker on clearance! The compact electric smoker (not on clearance) was $169. I almost had it in the cart when I found the Bandera smoker. I had no idea what it was worth, or that there is a huge group of people that love them! The tag on the Bandera said $199.98. The employee nearby said everything that ends in “.98” is on clearance, for an additional 50% off! Yeah. I knew it was WELL WORTH $100 for the Bandera. I later looked it up on Google, and saw it selling for $579! WOW! I’m glad I bought it! I also found a Weber iGrill2 digital thermometer with 2 probes on clearance! Yes. Another steal! $30! I haven’t made any modifications to the smoker yet, but have some gasket and fire bricks coming. I also work in metal shops, so I hope I can get a fire grate made soon. I smoked my first meal last weekend, some Salmon from Costco. WOW. it was great! The temp was difficult to keep above 200, but I think my upgrades will help.
Thanks to everyone for the tips! I’ve learned so much already! |
Thanks from:---> |
