Trying to decide

[Smoker72]

I have never owned a electric smoker all ways traditional wood and I'm trying to decide which road should I go. I have read numerous post about ht old electric smoker compared to the new digital smoker good and bad. I live in the south so I'm not worried about cold temps that would effect the temp when opening the door. I mainly am looking for a smoker that will hold close to the set temp, be consistent each use and also good customer support if ever needed.

I appreciate any advice that can get given in helping me make the correct decision for the money that will be spending.

Thanks,

The Bradley would serve your purposes just fine. If your looking to make your own sausages then I would suggest the 6 rack version.

I haven't seen better customer service than Bradley has in years and I agree with TenPoint5.

The Bradley is almost foolproof and service is beyond reproach. Read some of the posts about temp control and how to keep the temps from large swings up and down. The six rack is the way to go. You'll wind up wanting a couple more racks sometime if you get the 4 rack

bradley smokers are near the top of electric smokers along with some of the  best customer service, along with this forums great members that are always  willing to help , share and guide some one who is new to the  bradley smoker family,

the original smoker has no time control on it, and a  variable heat  controller, the digital has a  digital  heat  setting, and a  timer for both the smoke generator and heat, if i  remember right up to 10 hours, this can be a  burden on long  smokes that can go longer, including some 18 to 20 hours or  longer.

hope this  helps
