Okay, I'm going to take the plunge and get a smoker and start learning how to use it. Question is, what kind of smoker? I want an upright and I don't need a combo smoker/grill. My opinion is when you start combining stuff both functions are compromised, besides I already have a grill. My little brother, who is a smoker wizard, has a smoker that uses charcoal or propane. He mostly smokes using charcoal and just uses the propane to get the charcoal going. All you smoker gurus, what are your thoughts on propane versus charcoal for smoking? Pros and cons? I know some of you can rise to the occasion and help me spend my money! <lmao>
