Electric Smoker for Long Term

Super Dave, great to see you on the board again. Of the three smokers (Cookshack, SmokinTex and Smokin-It) which are made in the USA?

I can't speak to Cookshack and SmokinTex but possibly excluding some electronic parts, my Smokin-It was US made.

FYI, the Green Mountain Davey Crockett model has been replaced by the Trek model. They no longer make the Davey Crockett. The only difference between the two is they changed the legs.

Thanks for that update. Unfortunately those longer legs would not work for me - see photo in my post above - because the additional height would not fit in the RV. Perhaps they can be removed.

I've used mine as shown in the photo, on a table top with its short spring legs and on the ground with the folding legs.

As a FYI I did cut off 1.5" of the chimney so that it would fit in the MH.

If you want a high end smoker and have looked at the Cookshack and SmokinTex, the Smokin-It is comparable at a much better price point.

No budget?

We have one and it's been problem-free for ten years now. It's small but mighty. You'll find it's a tank compared to the Masterbuilt.

You didn't say if you are going to carry it or leave it on the patio. If going to carry, then the Green Mountain Davey Crockett can't be beat. If you are leaving it on the patio, a Yoder would be my choice assuming that money is no object.

There are many best ***Link Removed*** but I would suggest you to go for Masterbuilt MB20071117. This smoker is best for long term. Here are it's main features:

• Good insulation
  
• Affordable
  
• Wood chip tray available

I'll second the Davy Crockett. Mine has traveled in the storage bay for several years. Very convenient and cooks great.

Well for long term I can recommend the SMOKINTEX I have had my 1400 for more than 15 years,has never failed and still works as it did when I bought it.

A lot heavier construction than the others mentioned here.It is made more for the commercial market but the smaller one like mine has that same quality and is small enough to put on the hitch mounted platform on the rear of my RV,I use it at home and camping.

I'm Very happy with my Pit Boss Pro Series that my Grandson gave me for Christmas last year.
But you are certainly NOT going to carry it around in an RV, (Unless you have a toy hauler).
