Food and Drink Electric Bradley or Master built verticle smokers?

I'm happy with my Masterbuilt.

As for electric, IMO if you're just starting out it's the way to go. There's enough things to learn without having to deal with temps too.

We were looking at buying one local and we don't have a Cabela's here... but I found it on Home Depot at a pretty good price.

I'm leaning towards the Bradley .... But BassProShop is selling the Masterbuilt unit they have for $180 on Black Friday. Either one I'm sure it'll smoke some good eats.

I had a Masterbuilt and didn't care for it. I just replaced it with a Traeger and couldn't be happier. I like the pellets. I also like having the firebox on the side. I don't like the vertical because heat rises so the internal temperature varied too much.
