After my trip to Texas, and some delicious Bar B Q, I have decided to investigate smokers for home use. I really want to cook slow, cooking temp around 200 degrees, and generate a good smoke for added flavor and texture. I figure that I will want to cook a long time say 6-10hrs. I figure that wood fuel would be ok if I wanted to constantly tend the fuel source, which I don't. Propane would be ok except that a home tank I'm told would only last about 6 hrs and is quite expensive fuel cost. Electric seems the way to go if I can find one that will allow me precise temp control and would create enough heat to make smoke and still cook slowly. I found one at a local Bar B Q store made by Traeger seen here, http://www.traegergrills.com/.
The Jr would fit my size needs, but the cost is $399 locally plus $18 /bag of peelets. A bit steep for an untried product. Plus to get precise tempcontrol you have to spend $899 for the Lil Tex Elite.
Does anyone have any better suggestion?
