New SI owner here, so I figured I'd introduce myself. I'm Tom from MN and my 3D just arrived on Saturday. I got it all set up and did the initial seasoning that weekend.
I've been looking at getting an electric smoker for awhile now, but I wanted to make the right decision on the one for me. I've got a barrel-style smoker that I've used for years, but I wanted something else for those times I don't want to constantly attend to the temperature.
My cousin has a Cookshack and it makes some great BBQ, but I wanted something a bit bigger than the model he had, and the price on the larger one was more than I was willing to swing. So looking for competitors I came across the SmokinTex and Smokin-It models. I quickly decided that Smokin-It was the one after doing some comparisons. It has the build quality I wanted along with a price I was willing to spend. The thing is built like a tank; I'm sure it will outlast me.
So, my first smoke is going to be this upcoming weekend. St. Louis-style ribs are on the menu since I've got a couple racks in the freezer. So my plan is 235 for around 5-6 hours with either some either some hickory or apple wood, and of course I decent rub. Looking forward to testing it out.
Cheers!
