Little Chief/Big Chief Meat Smoker?

Hi Gene. I have no specific experience with either of those but if they are the ones I'm thinking about they are pretty well thought of. They are the square shiny metal ones with electric heat you use wood chips or saw dust in aren't they?

On a similar line but using charcoal is the Brinkman Gourmet (sp) Smoker. Absolutely top of the line. Never owned a better one. It has a water pan for wet smoking and actually burns the charcoal properly over an extended time. I've now gone to a much larger Brinkman with a separate fire box for burning wood but I still think the Gourmet is the best I've ever used and very well may go back to it. I need a new one as my old one finally rusted out on me.

Big Chief Meat Smoker

I have a Big Chief smoker, and it works fine for my needs. It is an electric variety that uses sawdust (best) for the smoke. Works ok with small chips, but sawdust really is the better choice. Sometimes it is not as big as the load I'm smoking, though. This is a cool smoker that I've used for making jerky, and smoking sausage. For the sausage I always finish the process in the oven to ensure I achieve the correct internal temperature. Worth the price? I thought mine was, but I forget what I paid for it.
