Thanks to all of you on the forum - you have been most helpful - in parting me with some of my cash - I am sure it will be worth it. Been wanting to get a smoker for a while. I have a couple of friends who do the BBQ. One guy does the best trout you ever want to eat, the other has the Bradley - he advised getting digital controls. My other friend is a competition BBQ out of AZ - he has all kinds of computer controlled fans set up with his and refers to the Bradleys as pellet poopers. I need as set i and forget it. A couple of weeks ago I stopped by Cabelas in Hamburg and noticed they had a bunch of smokers on sale and some in the Bargain Cave. Hadn't done a whole lot of research at the time so I took a pass. Then I got to this forum. My reservations about the Bradley were confirmed - I dont like the idea of a special smokin briquette from both a cost and "I need it now" perspective. So that got me thinking again. Seems I remembered seeing a black Smokette at Cabellas. My decision was now between a Smokette Elite and a Super Smoker. I had some errands to run that put me near Cabelas so I figured I would pop in for another looksee. I found the Smokette but sitting right next to it was an Amerique at great price. Looking at the Smokette and the Amerique, I knew I wanted the bells and whistles and the size sure would come in handy especially with trout season starting soon. So like they say in for a dime - in for a dollar. Thanks all and see you around.
