Hi Everyone

[GusRobin]

So if I were to do it again I think I would buy the original and then a PID.

I feel the same, Origional with a PID..

My vote also. But if you post the type of smoking you plan on doing, folks can give you the pros and cons of each model

I am pretty much sold on the Bradley.  I learned a long time ago, spend the extra money to purchase quality.
I have recently started making sausage, which was the main reason I wanted an electric smoker.
I will check out the original smoker with the PID that was mentioned.

Thanks

Welcome Leslie -- hope you stay around an join in the madness.  A warning -- it is addicting.

If you're interested in making sausage, there are some real pros who are regulars on this site.  For sausage making you might want to consider the Six rack - it gives you more vertical room for hanging things, and keeps the lower parts further from the heating element.
