New smoker suggestions

[smalljawbasser]

I've got a propane fueled cabinet style smoker with firebox and water pan. I've been real happy with it, but it's not built very well. Basically Chinese disposable crap Iike a lot of other stuff, but it cooked really good in its day.

I use it a lot though, so I thought I'd start the search for a new, more better replacement.

Nothing is off the table, except I really like the cabinet style, and I probably want to stick with propane or electric for practicality. I can easily cook 2 or 3 shoulders and a couple Bridget's on mine with room left for some chicken or ribs.

Any suggestions for a quality smoker?

I have been researching smokers for weeks now. This is the one I just ordered. Every review was top notch for build and function. Was more than I wanted to spend but, I'd rather not throw good money after bad.

That one looks nice. If you don't care, let me know what you think when you get it. It is a little more money, but it certainly looks like it might be worth it.

For a cabinet style smoker the Backwoods are awful nice.
My neighbor has a room full of trophies he has won with his.
They are charcoal though but they cook really well.

I bought the same smoker about a year ago and love it. 6 ounces of wood chips will smoke for 4-5 hours. Temperature is very easy to control as well. Customer service is fantastic. One of the racks was a really tight squeeze to slide in so I tried making it smaller by tapping it with a hammer but tried to hard and the welds broke. Emailed the owner and told him what I did and he sent me a replacement rack immediately.
My old smoker was propane fired and it was a chore to keep the temperature consistent. Electricity is the way to go.
