My smoker went out last nite after 6 years. I bought another Masterbuilt but this time it's a Gen 3 and is the 40" with remote control. I should be able to smoke 15 lbs of Jerky at a time.
I hope it lasts 6 to 8 years as I use them alot making ribs, prime rib,sausage,jerky,smoked Fish and even smoked cheese.
I have never made brisket but I'm planning on it for the 4th of July.
I used my FoodSaver to seal everything up and avoid freezer burn.
