I am considering a vertical electric smoker primarily for brisket, jerky, and pork shoulders. I am wanting something large enough to do at least 3 large pork shoulders at a time.
Interested in recommendations.
Thanks.
If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning

There's only one choice IMO, the Cookshack SM045. I bought the model prior to that one in 1998 and it still gets used weekly at our office. They are not cheap, but they are reliable and built to last. My preference would be charcoal or pellet, but if you are dead set on electric Cookshack is the only way to go.

I have a Smokinit smoker. Great quality.

Mike My cookshack is about 20 years old, and I never want anything else. Been super easy to use. Most product. and uses wood chunks. I get all the wood for free, and no jamming or feed problems.

Agreed. The only reason I don't ust it anymore is my buddy and I do catering and obviously there's not much room on those little guys. We each own a Cookshack FEC100 and own an FEC120 together. We can do somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 pounds of meat and sides for an event. The fact is though, when I cook for my wife and I or a couple of guests the BGE cooking over lump charcoal is my go to.

I have a Smokinit smoker. Great quality. Same for me. I know a handful of guys who also bought one after I told them about the company. Top notch customer service and a dedicated forum of users who will help you learn how to smoke with it. 6-8 ounces of wood chunks will smoke to 6-8 hours
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
