I'm interested in what the reviews are too. Wondering if the 40" is worth the extra money vs. the 30". I have an offset barrel smoker now but the temp can be a pain to regulate in cold or windy conditions and being able to hang sausage will be a plus too.

Looked at one today and it sure looks like a well built sturdy unit. I have a Bradley elec now with the 6 trays and auto feed puck system. But I sure like the looks and the features on this one!!!

I have the 30" no window. That size works for cooking for 8-10 people. I've had it for 4-5 years and it works perfect even in the dead of winter. Pellets last a long time, I fill it once at the beginning and once 2 hours later or so.

Only issue with mine is that when it's 20 degrees or colder I get an error message when I try to start it up (digital unit). I have to take a heat gun or a hair dryer and put it in the thing and close the door and heat it up for a minute or two to get it up to temperature so it then starts heating up. I just leave the heat gun hanging by my smoker and once I found out the problem it's only a small hassle.

It's nice with an electric unit to "set it and forget it" rather than goof around with trying to keep a proper temperature with non electric.

Glad to hear. I will probably go with the 40 as I do a lot of brats, salami, sticks and other stuff in larger quantities.

Thanks for the reviews. Amazon had it for over $500. But LM fleet had it for $359.

Captain,

the smoker could take your place of having to see a Psychologist especially come Winter. It's just another hobby that you can add to your tool belt. Bonus is that my wife actually 100% agrees with my doing this hobby.

I read the manual too and actually "seasoned" it per the instructions. It was the day after Christmas years ago and it must have been a very short manual.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
