Mo_42 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hi everyone Im Mo Being using charcoal and gas bbqs for years but recently a friend of mine has introduced me to charcoal smokers. Looking to buy a bullet style smoker but i think I'll learn a little more before diving in. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi Mo. The bullet smoker is the way to go as it is very versatile and is easy to control. It won't completely replace the kettle BBQ as sometimes we need to grill too. You can use the bullet smoker as a grill but it is not designed for doing that. Have you looked at the types of bullet smokers available? What will your price range be? Most professional BBQ competition teams use bullet smokers for their cooks. You would not regret getting one 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo_42 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi Wade, thanks for your input. Im looking at the ProQ and WSM, leaning towards the ProQ for its versatility and it has the silicone tabs on the air vents so won't keep having to put gloves on when adjusting them. Budget is 300-350 and then add accessories like a pizza stone/plancha later I currently have a large gas grill for large parties and flipping cheap burgers but my brother in law has got me into smoking meats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterbaby Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi Mo I recently bought the Proq frontier and would highly recommend. Such a versatile smoker. Loads of deals out there. As an example https://www.souschef.co.uk/products/proq-frontier-elite-cold-smoking-bundle I did my first cold smoked salmon and cheese for christmas. I wont buy ready packed smoked salmon again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo_42 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Looks like I've missed out on the Christmas and black friday deals that were on Do we have a forum discount? The fontier would be the right size for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Welcome to the forum Mo....not sure if there are any discounts around, just have to keep our eyes open 👍 Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 For clarity you can do same on WSM of course but they are very similar. Also consider how to fit a smartfire to the pro q vs the wsm? Not use it makes any difference but have not looked at pro q in that sense. For disclosure I love my WSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
