Last year I came pretty close to getting Red Box Smoker, but held off. It's just me and my wife nowadays as the kids are moved out. My wife doesn't eat much meat anymore, so usually it's just me cooking a treat for me.
Over the years, I've had a lot of different smokers - Kamado, Charcoal, Electric, UDS, and multiple pellet smokers. I've never had an insulated cabinet smoker - its the only type of smoker (I think) I've never owned or used.
Right now, as far as smokers go, I have a Mak 1-Star (Rwalters Inspired) and a GMG Davy Crockett. I tend to use the Davy Crockett almost 100% nowadays as I'm just making small batches. I know, why don't I use the Mak? I love the Mak, but to me it's like driving the Limo to the corner grocery store to buy a carton of milk. I save it for when I really need the capacity and want to show off when I've got a group of people over (Pre-Covid).
So, the Red Box possibility popped in my head again. The cost would be $350 delivered to my house. I see Mark's got some new videos out there and he's even doing multiple racks of ribs and brisket. However, some of the videos he's using a BBQ Guru, which would add at least another $250 or so to the unit, making it nearly a $600 unit. I want to know how good it is as the $350 unit.
To all the Red Box owners out there, running it stock, does it do a good job on rack of Beef Short Ribs? How about a regular pork spareribs and babyback ribs? And of course, has anyone done a Brisket hot and fast in it? (I know the brisket would need to be separated to fit). Help me decide. Thanks!
