Howdy All,
Need help choosing a model/size...
I know I want something bigger than #1. Someone might be able to stuff 21 lbs of meat, but I don't want to stuff it full and not have space for smoke circulation. I used a similar one that size and thought it was getting cramped. Not much room for sausage or jerky.
I want to smoke 16 lbs of pork butt/shoulder. The size you can get from Costco and other meat packing places. Typically these meats are cut into 8 lb halves. I like to cook both because I can't get the other half into a ziplock bag for freezing.
I want to smoke jerky or cure sausages; not at the same time, nor at the same time as the pork butt. I'm new at this part, and I reckon I need plenty of hanging room and circulation, but not sure how much room.
I want my meat to get lots of smoke. No such thing as too much smoke for me.
Cooking for a family of 4.
Recommendations?
Thank you,
Jake
