As many of you know I have been hooked on BBQ. BBQ as defined by the pit masters is anything you cook low and slow. Last year I took a class from a Pit Master. I took the class from The BBQ Institute.
Konrad was a great teacher. He has no problem sharing his secrets and I learned a lot. The best thing I can say is in the 40 years of cooking, I have ever been able to make ribs. I learned a few secrets and my 1st attempt after this class came out perfect!
I did a lot of research about what smoker to buy. All of the comments said get a weber bullet. I purchased the Smokey Mountain Cooker.
This unit is amazing. I put the heat source in (generally Kingsford charcoal) and the temperature stays at an amazing 250 degrees for hours. I can run the smoker for 7 hours or more on one chimney of charcoal.
If your looking for a smoker, or are starting out. I strongly recommend this unit.
