These are the four ive narrowed too, measuring my counter tomorrow to see if that limits, let me know what you think. I dont want to smoke using pellets or discs, wood chunks only or chips only!
smokin it model 2 or 3 or cookshack smokette elite or cook shack supersmoker
have a look if you got time and let me know your opinions! So glad to be able to bring our bbq passion into my kitchen at work now as well haha!
Again, for the $$$, Smokin-It is what I'd say and I have experience with it so I can vouch for it. Also, it IS NSF endorsed so it is rated for commercial use. Hard to match that with the other brands, you actually can't match it for the money. The model 2 will not let you cook a full packer brisket or an uncut rack of ribs, that's why I went with the #3.
I've heard that the people who started Smokin Tex and Smokin-It used to work at Cook Shack and left and started making their own smokers. They look pretty much identical! Whatever you choose, they're all going to work well for you. Just don't expect a smoke ring, you're not going to get it unless you cheat. I brine my pork butts and add a little pink salt to give a faux smoke ring. The smoke ring doesn't make the food taste any different but people like to see it as you eat with your eyes first!!
1 tsp of pink salt per gallon of brine is all you need.
