Hello from Long Island

[radamo]

Hello all.  My name is Rich and I am from from Long Island. I have been using a propane grill and smoker box to do my smoking up until now and decided it was time to upgrade to a real smoker.  I am teetering between the OBS and the DBS.  Leaning towards the OBS given the price on Amazon.  Seems that they have the same heating element and share most components.  I am hoping I won't get buyer's remorse at not getting the digital.

Anyway I am looking forward to my first real "smokin'" weekend!  This forum seems like a great community and I look forward to taking part.
Regards,
Rich

Welcome!   OBS is a good start.  Add a PID later, and you basically have the DBS.

Hi Rich and welcome to the forum.  I have the OBS with PID. 

You won't have to be out there fiddling with the vents, charcoal, water, etc with the Bradley.
