I've had the model 2 for about two years now. I mostly only make jerky, brisket, and pulled pork with it. I've really come to love brisket and I seem to always fall back to it rather than trying something new. I've only made chicken are ribs once each. They were good, but its hard to beat a big slab of beef. I've gotten too comfortable with those three things and need to start branching out more.
I love jerky and have made dehydrator jerky off and on for years. I wanted to make better jerky and that is what got me reading/researching smoking. With the smoker, jame's dryer and Divotmaker's equilibrium brine I've been able to achieve my goal, excellent jerky comparable to the kind a small butcher used to make when I was a kid. Real jerky, its not always easy to find but when you do, its so good. Now I can make it myself.
cheers,
Brian
