Which smoker to buy

[real chili 83]

Bought a tri-tip today. Going on a smoker tomorrow with pork belly. 

Pork belly goes to 202 degrees.  Tri-TIp goes to 110, then seared on the grill. 

Probably need to start them about 3-4 hours apart. Thoughts?

never hear of, nor done a tri-tip so i looked it up-traeger has recipe to bring it to internal temp of 135(1-1 1/2 hrs)-wrap-heat up grill to "hotter than hell"/sear-4 min per side

you like to smoke for less time to lower temp?  is that to maintain more juices, feel it's got all the smoke flavoring it's going to get or just the right amount and you will be completing thecooking process on thegrill at high-is this to maintain the moisture?  curious-thanks

Here's the recipe I used. I smoked it at 230.  It cooked pretty fast, as I was going for 110.  Lean cut, no stall.    Seared it, then let it rest.  Served on slider buns.  Extra hot horseradish.

Mmmmmm

Anyone have suggestions on keeping the hotness of fresh horseradish - as in buying the whole root and grinding it yourself - stable?

The stuff seems to mellow as soon as you open the jar.

We went when the place opened... now, it was a gorgeous Saturday.  So that may have had something to do with it.

Perfected my baby back ribs recipe in the Instant Pot.

Not quite as good as ribs in the smoker, but they were fall-off-the-bone tender, and I was serving dinner less than an hour after I pulled the meat from the refrigerator.

I used their portable one a month ago.  Did a great job on some thighs.  Definitely a little tight, but cramming every inch of grill surface didn't cause any problems.
They get good reviews on amazing ribs.com.

Anyone have experience with a pellet grill?  Was thinking about a Traeger Timberline but wanted to see if anyone had thoughts on that or a RecTec or Camp Chef
