Every time they show this...I want it...I want it so badly.

I just can't see only me...making massive amounts of BBQ.

I need to try and keep my 'boyish' figure.

I am old school and think that bbq should be cooked with charcoal or wood. To me the best smoker for a beginner to start out with is the Weber Smoky Mountain. It turns out great bbq and has won thousands of bbq competitions and it is so easy to cook with.

I live alone and have numerous grills & smokers. Wood, pellet, charcoal, propane, Egg and a Masterbuilt electric. I use the electric more often, so much so, that I'm considering selling all but the pellet and BGE. Since I can't get red oak logs here, but can get red oak pellets and wood chunks, I prefer the pellet and electric.

I can use the electric on the porch (can't use the others there), which is actually handier for me. When I do smoke, I usually do large amounts at a time. In one session, I can do several chickens or cornish hens one rack. Once cooked and cooled, I vacuum seal and freeze for another day. On another rack, I do a whole brisket (10-14#) as you REALLY want that fat cap on when smoking. With the brisket, rather than slicing and freezing the whole thing, I separate the sections and divide into 5 or 6 parts, then vacuum seal and freeze individually. Third rack gets several racks of ribs. When cool, I cut each rack into 4 sections and freeze individually - each is good for a meal for one.

Depending on how much room is left on top rack, sometimes I smoke a pan of almonds or salt.

There are only 2 of us now and we use it all the time. We even used it all winter long in the garage...no grilling was going on out in that weather.

We sometimes smoke 2 small steaks, just 2 burgers, 1 coil of sausage or only 1 large piece of fish to share. It is so easy to use and the taste is to die for!

Yes, there are occasions when we smoke a big turkey, port butt etc...but we are amazed at how often we use it just for the 2 of us. Ours has a small footprint...only 30"x 30". A lot smaller than that monstrosity of a grill we have and honestly...barely use any more! The smoker has totally won that battle.

BEST surprise gift I EVER gave my husband.

We love ours. DH smokes briskets, baby back ribs, pork butt, turkey breast, prime rib, mac n' cheese, baked beans etc. Can you say YUM!!! We use our Weber grill when we make steak, burgers, pork chops, chicken, etc. We love BBQ & I love that you can make it in the Masterbuilt without a lot of the blackened smoked bark. I like it smoked but not overly smoked as some BBQ places make it. Some BBQ places don't have their smokers vented properly & the creosote buildup causes meats to be bitter & leave your tongue with a numb feeling. I hate that.

I live alone and use it all the time...it DOES use wood (chips)....that is where the flavor comes from...NOT the heat source... Nice that you don't have to constantly tend it to keep the temp level!
