    Hehehehe- gonna be ribs too!
    Getting crowded but it’ll work. I’d get a bigger smoker but the tricks I did with this one work too well to let it go. Nice even end to end heat.

    I smoke the old--fashioned way. Low and slow, oak and pecan wood, and hours of tending to the smoker. I'm retired, and I have my techniques down and it works quite well.
    I have it better, wife does it but I maintain the fire with fruit woods like apple. Have lots left over since the beavers hit.

    I used to smoke meat the old fashioned way. I was pretty good at it too, if I do say so myself. My wife’s breathing issues prevent me from using a stick burner anymore, so I now use a pellet grill/smoker. Meat still turns out the same, with the same flavor and smoke ring. The only difference is my wife doesn’t wheeze for a week after, and I don’t get up every few hours to tend the fire.

    If or when my smoker gets to the point it will have to be replaced, a pellet smoker is high on the list for it's replacement.

    We have an electric smoker as well as a pellet smoker. The pellet smoker is easier to deal with since I don't have to add wood chips into the hopper every few hours.

    I figure at the time I need to retire my old stick burning smoker, I may need the ease and efficiency of a pellet smoker!

    It probably still has a few more good years left, so no hurry!
