Welcome Jim!
I had researched electric smokers for some time and also pulled the trigger last fall on #3. I can honestly say it has been one of the most fun and rewarding purchases I'm made. And all the guys on this forum have been very helpful getting me up to speed on various processes / procedures that have saved me a ton of time during my initial smoking attempts and everything so far has turned out awesome. Welcome from Moorhead MN!
Cheers,
