I went through the same thing last year with a smaller budget of $2500. I ended up with a smaller ABS, the All Star. I live in Kansas City which gets cold, maybe not as long as a winter as Michigan, but very cold at times. I have no trouble with keeping the temps. I have a buddy with the Pitt Boss that loves it. You also see it at a lot of comps around here. An insulated cabinet smoker was my second choice and I'll probably get a small one some day. You won't go wrong with either. Good luck!
A local BBQ store has the ABS smokers. They look very well made. The All Star reminds me of my Good One Marshall.
