Hello from Minnesota
« on: April 11, 2024, 10:13:37 PM »
Greetings,

Joined the form as I am working to finalize my purchase decision and currently leaning toward the SI 3 Analog.   I am not totally opposed to the digital unit, but was really looking to keep it simple while also enjoying some great results.    My hesitation with the Analog unit is temperature control for Salmon.     

Hello to all and appreciate hearing about your results with Salmon on an Analog smoker.

Thanks,
Richard

Welcome to the forum. I went analog figuring to add a controller later, but have decided I don't need one for the types of smoking I do.
 
My #3 does salmon very well, along with jerky, pork shoulders for pulled pork, meat loaf and baked potatoes and of course bacon.

I think that the #3 is an excellent choice.  I have the 3DW and often wish it was just the 'dumb' smoker.  I started with a #2 and it was more enjoyable.

Took the plunge and have a 3D on order with expected delivery tomorrow.   After seasoning it on Thursday, the plan is to christen it with a Pork Butt this weekend.

Wish me luck!

Good luck Richard.  A butt is a great no worry smoke.
