OT: Anyone got a Backwoods Smoker?

[57stratdawg]

Worth it or should I just go with a BGE?

You're welcome. They'll even paint it maroon for you.

Stump don't make no junk

Ow. I bet that was a pretty penny.

Don't own one but have cooked on one for competition. For smoking only, it's pretty much bullet proof but its not much for grilling. With A BGE and a BBQ Guru temp controler, you can cook anything that flies walks or swims, and cook it well. A BGE egg has a personality, there is a little bit of a learning curve but once you get it, there is nothing more versatile. My wife says that I have a grill and gun problem, I own 3 eggs and a Big Steel Keg plus a homemade Jambo type grill so I may be biased. The only grill that ever really tempted me was an American BBQ System rotisserie but so far have resisted having to explain that one to the wife.

Stumps can't be beat. Have two stumps clones that I built because I'm to cheap to buy one. I have had a BGE and really did not like it. I have an old off set grill/smoker that cooked better than it did. And yes I used the guru running both. I sold my egg and bought a cajun broiler, I love that thing. Can't beat it for cooking steaks, fish, etc.

I have a back woods smoker and love it. It's the smaller one, and I'd recommend getting the next size up. it holds temp better than anything I've ever used (never used an egg though). You can get a guru for it too.

Another vote for Stumps. Get a Guru for it and you are set. You can cook a lot of meat on one. I did 12 butts at once and probably could have squeezed in a couple more.

Edit to say I have the gravity feed style. With the Guru, I get it up to temp and pretty much forget it.

Instead of a BGE save your money and get a vision grill
