From the foot of Pikes Peak

[Analog Curmudgeon]

Hi all
I'm a long time user of the Weber Smokey Mountain and love what it is capable of producing. The downside is the inconvenience (starting and clean up) and I think I make the neighbors a bit uneasy with the boisterous activity and open flame involved in firing it up after dark for an overnight smoke    My research has led me to the Smokin-it 3 and am ready to pull the trigger but can't find a retailer in my area-are they only available direct? Thx Brian

Ordering them online, visiting Steve in person, or hoping Steve hits up a trade show near you are the only ways I have seen them sold so far.  You won't regret a 3, I love mine.

Welcome from another at the "foot".  ;D You will love your SI. I know I do.

I know exactly what you mean.  I made the jump from the Webber Smokey Mountain myself earlier this year and I have to say I really love this SI way of making great BBQ.  Buy direct from Steve and you'll see what a first rate company they are to deal with. Hope to see you posting soon.

I have a #3' you wont be disappointed. You can only get the unit direct from SI. I have had the unit for three years.

Thanks for the info everyone. I talked to Steve today, went ahead and ordered the #3. Now I'll just enter my Zen-like state in an attempt not think about the wait until it arrives!

Welcome from Texas! I have had my #3 a few weeks and use it every chance I get. It is a very solid unit. Definitely worth the wait. Happy smokin!

You will like it, before it arrives keep reading and searching here for ideas.  You made the right move.

Brian, Congrats on the new #3!!  You'll put your neighbors at ease on those overnight smokes now!   Go ahead and add your first name to your signature line - that way, we won't forget it!

Check out the section on User Guidelines and Instructions, on the Home page.  You have good smoking experience, but you'll have to change a few habits, and may need to get some additional supplies (like a digital scale to weigh your wood...yeah, we deal in ounces with these!).

Let us know how we can help, and welcome aboard!
