Ok guys I have been scouring the threads in the comp and Qtalk section trying to make this decision easier but I'm still up in the air on which way to go.I plan on getting a new cooker soon then experimenting for about a year then starting off on comps in the backyard division and working my way up to the pro level. So here is my dilemma.
1. Do I go with one large cooker or two smaller cookers?
2. I know I want to use a insulated vertical and this is where most of my dilemma is. I really like the Backwoods, But have also been looking at brands that are similar in design and construction but are new to the insulated smoker market so there isn't much of a proven track record to go on(BQ Grills & Lonestar Grillz). It's hard to look past the proven record of the Backwoods brand, which is why they are so appealing to me.(I know just because you own a Backwoods doesn't get you wins.)
3. So how much is the cook and how much is the cooker when it comes to success.
4. As far as budget I could probably swing a Backwoods competitor and buy another smaller unit the year after. But If I was able to get the same results out of a cheaper unit then that's more money toward other comp. toys.
I had looked at Humphreys as well but after adding the extra options I would want i would be close to a Backwoods in price and would rather go that route at that point.
So any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
