I know the Luhr-Jensen is great. The "Big Chief" is worth the extra 20
bucks from Cabelas. $89.00 because of larger capacity but....the heating
element is only 450 watts good/excellent for smoking fish and makeing
jerky.
It really isn't a smoker/cooker(hot smoker) I also have a Cabelas
"Premium
Electric" Smoker that is made by Masterbuilt.com. Excellent product. It
has a real temperature control for the 1650 watt element and you can use
it
for cold smokeing as well as hot smoking...look into it..do your research
so
you know exactly what your needs are. {:O) Mike

i use my New Braunfels to smoke trout, salmon, and tuna.

it requires a lot of time and attention, but that's the way i cook anyway.
