I am in the market for a new smoker. I have been looking at the Amerique SM066 for a while. I discovered the Lone Star Grillz (LSG) Pee Wee on accident. I really like the SM066 for the set and forget and temperature holding capabilities. I do not care about the lack of a smoke ring concern using an electric smoker either.
But with that said, I have some minor concerns about the SM066.
1. I've seen posts about the smoker tripping GFCI outlets. It's going on my porch and both sets of outlets are GFCI.
2. I've also seen post on here and other forums about probes failing and the controller having issues.
I also read outstanding reviews on the SM066. I would buy this through BBQ guys. They have a 5 year warranty (extra cost) on parts and labor and will ship for free.
The LSG Pee Wee is charcoal and pretty much bullet proof. I have no concerns with this one other than cost and weight (350 lbs). My only issue is trying to figure out how to make separate brisket warmer. I have a roaster and sous vide. I have seen posts on this forum about using both as warmers.
I would love to hear from anyone who own the SM066. THANKS.
