Pick up smoker?

[roblox84]

I just found out that Smokin It is located about 15 min. from me and was wondering if it's possible to pick up the smoker to save on the shipping costs? I searched the website but found no mention of this. Thanks.

Yes. Many have done so. You are so lucky!

Yep!  Those that can do.  Congrats on the luck.

Yeah that is lucky, everything on the internet to me seems like it's located in California or no where near Ohio. I'm having a hard time deciding between the Model #1 and #2, have you guy's been happy with your Model #1's or do you wish you got the next biggest model? I only bbq a slab of ribs or maybe a 4lb brisket for me and my wife so it's a little hard to justify the $100 price difference. But then I start thinking what about that summer BBQ I want to throw once and will I have room for food if I buy the #1? What should I do ? Also, why does this smoker never need refilling of wood but the Masterbuilt ones i've looked at need wood added every hour?

If you are picking it up, get the #2 without question.

I agree with Rick. For $100 and no shipping, getting at least the #2 would be my recommendation. But I might be a bit biased as I have a #3.

As stated here many times, you can always smoke less in a bigger smoker, but you can't smoke more in a smaller smoker.

Either way you decide, I think you'll be very happy with a Smokin-It.

Wow how nice it would be to live that close. I have the #2 and find that it does just fine for small get togethers but at times I really wish I had the #3. For no shipping costs, definitely get the #2.

I have a family of 3 & own a SI2.  My cooks are usually for 3 to 15 people & I could easily serve more people if necessary.  The 2 will give you a lot of flexibility.

Ok model #2 it is. I just hope there is only one Fairlawn, Ohio and not another Fairlawn on the other side of Ohio, lol. I'm very excited about this smoker, every other one I looked at needed hourly tending refilling wood but I am very surprised how this unit needs so little wood and what minimal tending it requires.

The no tending is awesome! My first smoke was a Boston Butt that I put in at midnight and then I went to bed and slept like a baby. The next day I had some of the best pulled pork I have ever had.

You will love the #2.

Nice, that's awesome! I was reading other posts where people said they were waking up every two to three hours to refill the wood or check the smoker and I was like oh no, no way I can do that.

YES!

Steve will meet you just off the interstate in the parking lot of a big box store to make it real convenient for you.

Wham done!

[DiggingDogFarm]

Yep, definitely get at least a No. 2
I just bought a No. 1 and I already wish I'd went with the No.2

And if staring at a #2 go for the #3. 

It's a once in a lifetime purchase so splurge... Plus if you're picking it up its "all good."

I own a #1, and have been testing a #2.  No-brainer - great decision to get the #2!  Fairlawn is in the Akron area.  Email Steve at smokin.it.info@gmail.com to arrange pickup.  He'll take great care of you!
