Should I buy smokette or model 55

Former Member

I am about to purchase a model 55. Does it perform as well as a smokette with smaller amounts of meat. I will be using smaller qtys quite often....4 slabs of ribs etc. but was going to buy the 55 as I did not want to outgrow the smokette but was concerned that the smokette may perform better than the 55 with smaller quantities of meat. Please comment

Performance will be the same ,over an assortment of cooks.

The rule of thumb,that has never failed,is buy one size bigger than you think you will ever need.

Any of them are a little more consistent with a full load.

At least that's what my granpappy always told the mule.

Buy the 55 . I started with a 08 and ended up getting a 55 about a year later. With the 55 you wont have to cut your slabs in half and for the times you DO need the extra room you'll have it. NO the 55 does not cook any different than an 08. Just my .002
