Ok, saw I received a bonus from work and I'd like to splurge on a new smoker. We host alot of parties, so I decided on a larger model.

Can anyone help explain the added value of the Amerique over the 050?

Thanks

Besides the hold feature and temp probe I'd say that the very best feature is its larger racks.

Getting ribs to fit in the other models does get old. With the AQ....no problem.

If size matters

It's basically a 50 on steroids with larger racks and the electronics.
