How much can you really fit in it though? I looked at the eggs, but they
seemed really small. I routinely cook 6+ racks of ribs, 30 brats,
chicken, etc..

I have the Big Green Egg and love it. I've smoked pulled pork a few
times for 12+ hours.
There are other similar ceramic grill/smokers (Primo, Komodo, etc),
but the Egg has a big community and lots of "egg'cessories" ;)
They're pretty big in the south (started in Atlanta), but people from
other areas aren't too familiar with them.
Maybe not as good as Chuck's $9k smoker though ;) Mmmm, meat

A friend of mine is pretty big into smoking and he likes that egg
thing. Says it is easier to maintain a constant temp.
I myself have an oven. I set the temp and it just stays there. To
each his own.

about $9K. I will tell you how it turns out...

Subject: [AFMUG] Completely OT,but I figure there's some
people here into
BBQ..
I've been into smoking for a while, been smoking ribs, sausage and
chicken on a cheapo, thin, Home Depot smoker for a few years.
They turn
out pretty good, but it's an all day affair of babysitting and
hoping
the weather is OK.
I've been looking at some higher end smokers for a while and
I'm torn
between something like
http://www.yodersmokers.com/ys640-pellet-grill.html and
http://www.ssomd.com/backwoods-smoker-chubby, the biggest
differences
between them being one uses pellets and one is charcoal.
I've always used charcoal but the convenience of the pellet
smoker is
pretty appealing to me as well. I've been reading reviews
online and
I've had a hard time finding info that seems unbiased, there's
a lot of
people against pellets on principle and a lot of people for
them purely
for convenience. Most of the BBQ forums are pretty religious
places (in
terms of their preferences.)
The other problem is that, even if I pick one, there's tons
and tons of
manufacturers out there, and if I'm even going to remotely
consider
spending $1K+ on a smoker, I want it to be the best. So,
anyone out
there with experience with any of these types of units?
