I found this forum while looking into Smokin-it smokers and thought I should join and introduce myself and not just lurk.
I've been trying to hone my bbq/smoking skills for about 20 years. While doing so, I have had a number of different set ups.
Currently, I have a Workhorse model 1969 offset stick burner.
I am looking for an electric smoker that will compliment the offset.
There are times that I cannot or do not want to have to closely mind and maintain a fire for hours to keep a consistent temperature. An easy to use, top quality electric, gas, or pellet smoker comes to mind.
However, I have not been happy with prior electric, gas or pellet smokers I have purchased, used, or have seen others operate. Most are terrible quality, overpriced junk that does not last, is poorly insulated, poorly designed, leaks heat and smoke in the absence of extensive modifications, and delivers overall unsatisfactory results.
So far the Smokin-It models look to be good candidates for what I am hoping to find. I hope to learn more before deciding what model, if any, to purchase.
