Time to get serious about a new smoker.

I've just put the pizza dough on the back of a cookie sheet on top of corn meal, loaded it, and slid the pizza with varying degrees of success onto the pizza stone -- but probably should invest in one of those pizza-sized spatulas.

Cracks me up how they even have Big Green Egg rolling pizza cutters.

I've done it. Works great but tricky getting the pizza on and off the pizza stone -- need a lot of corn meal and some practice runs with cheese pizza maybe before you load up the pizzas with a bunch of stuff and have guests over.

Cornmeal, eh? My attempts with oil were not pretty. What do you put the pizza on while affixing the toppings?

Looks like fun. I'll try it soon.

That will get you all but the truly gargantuan traegers. $700 (plus another $50 if you're not a Costco member) will get you the century unit I got a few weeks ago. They've made a few changes recently-- added a warming drawer and a back hatch for ease of swapping out pellets.

After reading a bunch of reviews online, I think I'm leaning to this drum smoker: http://amazingribs.com/bbq_equipment...-barrel-cooker

At less than half the cost of the traegers and green Mountain smokers, this thing has great reviews and a great capacity.

What options does a guy have in the $500-1000 range for a decent smoker? I've only used an ECB and my trusty Weber up until now with good results, but I'm looking to up my game a bit so I can get great results, consistently.

My Dad entered this and won a brand new Traeger when his named was pulled at random yesterday.

Too bad I don't live close.

well if your prodigalness returns at least he can smoke the fatted calf.

Props to the dude for his stuffed salmon recipe. Mother's Day dinner was a smash hit.

Nice!

I cooked salmon today too.

Our friends grill pizzas all the time. They just get the pizza mix from the Winco bulk bins. It tastes great.

But seriously, no one has tried smoking tofu?

Those look like cinnamon roll bites. Yum.
