Talking meats, not crack.
Obtained a Traeger Texas 34 to upgrade from my Masterbuilt electric.
Got a 20lb brisket waiting for this summer.
Just did over the weekend. Have a smaller charcoal one but this is sort of my starter before I go all in with it. Smoked some tenderloin, chicken and corn this past weekend.
Same thing I did, started with electric before my desire to get a smoke ring led me to wood....

I've got an old, about 40 year old, Colman Smoker. I cook 10# briskets and every now and then a turkey. It runs on propane and still does a great job.
Pro Bass has the Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 30" on sale for 199.97. I've been thinking about getting an electric one just for the ease. Any comments on this unit?
I do not like smoked meat
Meat and fish should be eaten raw or as near raw as allowable
They are decent. If you're just looking to smoke something, then they are pretty convenient. Cleaning is kind of a hassle but they aren't too bad. Cooking area isn't too big so you'll be cutting down racks of spare ribs, briskets.....fuggetaboutit. Basically they are good for butts and shoulders.
Truth is, I'd like to get into it but I would have absolutely no idea what I was doing. Any of you guys have a website that you would recommend for someone just getting their feet wet with this?
Getting started at smoking is like getting started at sex. You don’t have to be especially good at it to enjoy it.
Just get a smoker, get started, and then experiment.
We've got several old orchards up here in N.W. Indiana,and they occasionally cutdown the older Cherry and Apple trees..That's some damn fine smoking ember materials right there.. and they're FREE!!Talking meats, not crack.

We bought...AMERICAN MADE..(Texas) went with the Primo Grill,its an oval cooking surface with a ceramic liner and you can divide it with a ceramic plate ,so you can cook with in-direct heat (AWESOME for vegetables!). Primo doesn't advertise as much as they should. You can get so much more out an oval grill design than round!! We also use a chimney to start our fire , because fire starter,will contaminate you porcelain walls. We also marinate our meats..ALL OF OUR MEATS ,in Wickers,it's mad in Arkansas,(you cam order it online... You're gonna LOVE the flavors it brings out of your smoking adventures!My buddy has a huge Weber charcoal one and that is likely my next step.

I have a gmg pellet smoker i just did 3 racks of ribs on tonight for 5 hours. I have a chargrill offset also but I mainly use it in the winter with my amazntube to cold smoke cheese, butter, and spices. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a pk360 grill/smoker for some perfect steaks.
I have the Daniel Boone model. I'm having issues with the temp. I put a separate temp probe in their on the opposite side and it was at 100 degree difference from the factory one. I'm not sure if their is something wrong with the original thermometer or not. I'm going to trouble shoot it today and then call them after I figure it out. Honestly wish I would've saved more and got a Yoder instead.I wanted the Jim Bowie so bad. Settled for the Texas 34 Elite
