    New Member-Smoker Suggestion

    I think that will depend on how much meat you want to smoke at any given time, and the number of people that you will typically be feeding. I have the #2 analog and can do 3 1/2 racks of BB ribs at one time (I use the rib rack). I could probably squeeze two 8# Boston butts into the smoker...

    New Member-Smoker Suggestion

    Back in 2013, I was looking to try smoking meat and began the research process that you are doing now. I was advised by people experienced in smoking meat that I would do well to look at an electric smoker rather than live with the frustrations or regulating a stick/charcoal burning smoker...

    Question for those running the element at 80%

    Like old sarge, I am one of the original members of this site and I do not recall anyone reducing the element wattage. Sorry.

    Greetings all happy thanksgiving

    Well done, Tim ... nice looking breasts :) I did a similar turkey breast yesterday at 250F for 3.5 hours using cherry wood. The wind here was only about 15-25mph, and no snow!

    Greetings from NE Florida

    Welcome from Delaware, TodB! I use wood from smokinlicious.com and have not had problems with the belch ... their wood chunks have just the right moisture content to avoid fire in the wood box.

    Will 2 7 pounders take longer that 1 7 pounder in a #3

    Each butt will smoke in the normal time as though you were only doing 1 butt. The wood requirement would be the same as for one butt. Follow Sarge's advice on temping each butt as they may not finish at the exactly the same time (although they should be close). Enjoy!

    New and Looking For Suggestions

    I would go with the #2. I have a #2 analog (about 11 years old now) and I got the rib rack that fits in the smoker. With the rib rack, I can smoke 3.5 racks of BB ribs (cut in half) and get rave reviews!
