Hello there. I am new on here and not yet purchased my SI. I am not new to BBQ or smokers, but obviously new to SI.
I currently have a Weber Genesis, A GMG pellet grill, a Big Steel KEG (egg knockoff), and Big Chief. I started the search for a new smoker for fish and jerky. The GMG produces ribs and pulled pork for my taste that is OK, but not like the wood burner I used to use. Seems like the SI would do great on ribs and pulled pork, but how does it do for smoked salmon and jerky? I see the jerky fan thing for sale on here also. The Big Chief works great for jerky and salmon, but I hate how much work and baby sitting it is. and it is too small. I like to do large batches of salmon and its a long process. 24 hour brine, 8 hour dry, then finally hits the smoker. I'd prefer to do large batches at a time.
Is the drier fan thing necessary for anything other than Jerky? Anyone have issues with the WIFI or digital? I need another bbq like I need a hole in the head, but I'm interested... What's everyones thoughts?
