Looking to buy a smoker
First off, I've never smoked before but it's something I've always wanted to do. I live in ND and don't really know many people that do smoke up here. I'm just looking for something to start out with. Any suggestions?

I have a Brinkman's Smoke and Grill and it's done well by me.....I'm no expert though.

Depends on your charcoal, wood chips, wood chunks, or all wood, but typically every couple of hours. With chips being the most frequently replaced item. I have found that I like chunks of wood better, but it's a personal preference IMO.

![]() I purchased one of these with the optional firebox last spring and couldn't be happier with it.

I love this model, and have smoked my share of ribs this season on it. I have no trouble holding temp at 200-225 on it. I got the cover for it, and it rotted through in one season however. The one thing is the smoker does not get a perfect seal, but it is still great.

I have 2 different styles.
The old stand-by is a traditional barrel style charcoal smoker with a fire box. This smoker is high maintenance and is great in the warmer months. Cost: 250 bucks The other is my Brand New Bradley electric smoker. Low maintenance, auto feeds wood discs and keeps the temp where I need it even when it's 10 degrees out. I love that damn thing but I probably won't use it much in the summer because there's just something about sitting outside, listening to a baseball game or two, drinking beer and smoking ribs in an old school smoker.

I'm on my 2nd Electric smoker.
Do a search on here. This has been discussed before. Lots of good advise in the threads.

Both are great. Comes down to price. One is $300, one is $500.
