Long time listener, first time caller (or something like that)
Decided this is the year to jump into smoking. My wife's been hinting at this for a while now so guess what she's getting for her birthday in a couple weeks? Hopefully a #3 if they are back in stock. Will be driving from S.E. Michigan to pick it up and save the shipping costs and meet Steve too!! I thought I wanted a masterbuilt smoker until I started doing the research and reading the reviews, which led me to SI, then the question was a #2 or #3. Most of the time it will just be my wife and I, but this smoker will live up at my lake house where we have large crowds from time to time and are really good friends with the neighbors so I can definitely see doing some group smokes (hookah? LOL) I know electric is the right way to go for us, there's no way I'm babysitting coals especially when the winds are really fickle on the shores of Lake Huron, they can go from dead calm to big gusts which would play hell with coals. Didn't want to rely on propane, if I run out I'm miles away from the nearest tank fill center and they close at 5. Everything I've read from you guys and other forums really speak highly to the quality of these smokers so I can't wait to get it and start smoking!!!
