I have been smoking for about 6 years. Recently my Masterbuilt electric smoker died on me. I have been researching my next purchase and found this forum. I am in need of help on whether to purchase another Masterbuilt, a Bradley, or a Traeger pellet smoker. I am hoping to get some sound advice from the forum. I am considering the
Masterbuilt 20070910 30-Inch, an Original Bradley Smoker (with possibly adding a dual probe PID) or a Traeger Tailgater Pro pellet grill. I typically smoke pork butts, brisket, wings, & jerky. I don't cook large quantities of food since it is mainly myself and my daughter eating it. My wife doesn't eat meat. I also sometimes cook a larger portion for family gatherings, but still it is usually no more than 10 lbs of meat. I have a nice gas grill so I would not be using the Traeger for anything other than smoking. Any advice or input is appreciated, especially from anyone speaking from experience with these 3 smokers.
