Any comments / info would be greatly appreciated
I did alot of shopping around when I was looking at those two smokers. Please read the reviews on the Masterbuit Electric before buying. Look on Cabelas and Bass Pro and Amazon. The Electronic module on the top of the smoker does not last. MANY people had it go out numerous times during warranty and after warranty. The Sales rep at Bass Pro even told me that in person.
I went with the Bradley. They have great customer service and a great site with and awesome smoking forum.
Yes the pucks are proprietary, but they are not expensive. Because they are putting out so much pure smoke you do not run smoke the entire cooking time.
I ran the smoke for the 5 hours I smoked my ribs and holy cow, way too much smoke.
I run 2.5 hours of smoke on my ribs and 5 hours on my Pork Butts. This is plenty of time, trust me.
The pucks cost around .30c each. So you're talking $2.25-$4.50 per smoke. Not expensive at all. Plus some electricity of course.
