Not sure I can follow the logic of comparing two smokers that don't compare.
It's apples and oranges different.
FE is dry heat, AQ is moist
FE is pellets, AQ is electric
FE is all pellets for smoke, AQ is wood chunks (and pellets too if you want) and smokes only as long as there is wood added
FE is twice the inside of an AQ (it's a rough estimate, just a guess)
Not sure I can compare them that way, even for fun, they're just too different and they are NOT the same price.
And given that almost no one has cooked on both, not sure how valid a response is.
What are you getting at?
You need help with a decision?
Me, I'd rather have an FE, that's why I have 3.
But I have an AQ also
Call me lucky
