Hi,
I am about two weeks from placing an order for either the #2 or the #3. I currently have a top loader Big Chief that I've used only for smoking salmon and trout. I am looking forward to expanding my smoking to lots of other meats and vegetables.
I'm having some trouble deciding between models #2 and #3. I'd like to transport the smoker between home and various other locations. I'm a little concerned about the ease of transporting the #3. But.... I'll also want to be able to smoke 8-10 salmon fillets or steaks at one time.
Having never seen these smokers in person, I can't really visualize the transporting and capacity ease or difficulty of these units.
Has anyone ever found the #3 to be too big or think it's too big to throw it in the van to take on location?
Would I be able to smoke 8-10 salmon fillets or steaks in a #2
Lastly, would the higher wattage of the #3 be a huge deciding factor?
Thanks and I look forward to chatting and learning from your experience!
