I have two of them. A 14 in and the 18 in. Honestly you don't need the 22. Whichever smoker you go with... get a temp setup. Get a remote for the meat and grill combo. There are a bunch out there. Getting the temp at the grill where the meat is (rather than the top of the dome) is important. I am not a fan of pellet smokers and other electric ones. I have known a few people who had them and they caught on fire because the auger got stopped up and the fire spread up to the hopper. If you do decide to get one of them- keep the auger and feeder clean. Also, some pellets are better than others. Some are mostly filler and glue and some are almost all wood. I don't know which ones are which since I only use chunks (anything but mesquite, love hickory/pecan/apple/cherry).

For a low cost kamado style you might look at char-grill Akorn. I think -- coshokie Jul 02, 2022 at 10:42 AM ET
