Good luck...I have been smoking with a Brinkman smoker for about 20 years and have always had good luck with it...About 2 years agoI had a client that sent me a Bradley...After using it 4 times, I wish he hadn't...It might just be me, but the Brinkman with real charcoal gives the meat a better taste...

I have a small round brinkman i used it to smoke some summer sausage. Had a heck of a time End up getting water in the charcoal on the third round of chips finished it off in the oven. 30 day return worst cast i take it back then figure something else out. maybe a gas one then.

I do a ton of smoking/BBQ and I use a Weber Smokey Mountain, its a charcoal smoker. I do have an Old Smokey electric that does an excellent job with fish. I did a little venny in the electric, and it was decent. Bradley is the Cadillac of the electric world, so I suspect you would have excellent results.

For your pulled beef, go with Chuck Roast, the sirloin tends to dry outa little by the time it gets pullable. I do pulled beef a lot, and chuck is the way to go.

I have a hard time keeping the meat lit.

j/k I don't smoke, despise it but LOVE smoked meat. Something I've never done.

Thanks i read every review on cabelas there was like 5 1s and a fer 2s or 3 out of like 50 i think. I have my heart set on a sirlion. But i am not against taking someones advise when they know more then me. SO i think i will do both and let the cattle who show up to feed on it tell me which way to stick with. If nothing else i end up with alot of sirlion bbq to eat my self.
