What Else Should You Consider When Buying A Smoker
Don't Wait 15 Years Like I Did
BuySmoker.com contributing author Julie Sutherland will be sure to ease your fears with her funny smoker story
Years ago, circa 1992, my husband and I were cash-strapped newlyweds. He loved to barbecue, much like many other red-blooded American males. Every time we went into a home improvement store and passed the vast array of grills, he would start grunting like a Neanderthal. I would try earnestly to pull him away stating that our 6" x 10" Hibachi grill was perfectly fine for our tiny apartment patio. It usually worked until he started to get interested in Smokers. I took one look at these barrel shaped unusual "grills" and thought it looked like something out of "Little House on the Prairie." I thought he was out of his mind!
I assumed that his obsession with this crazy looking device would quickly die down. Bad assumption! He pushed and persuaded me. With the onset of the internet, he started showing me web pages like BuySmoker.com and forums with mouth watering recipes and testimonials about smokers.
Fast forward 15 years...I caved in. I let him buy one. It was the best decision I have ever taken 15 years to make! Due to the smoked salmon, beef jerky and other slow cooked, succulent meals I've had, I will never again judge an outdoor appliance by "its cover."
