I love my ST. used to compete with Ben Lang cooker on a trailer. And really lover cooking the old way with wood, But heath has changed so much I had to make it easier. A ST has a learning curve but there is so much info on this site and plenty of good folks around to help. I actually purchased mine from Bass Pro Shop. Not sure if there is one nearby for you. If not they are in Texas. And will have to get it shipped, Dont wait too long your missing out on some good BBQ. The 1400 is a great size has 5 racks and I have cooked 6 slabs of ribs at 1 time and they all fit in. Just keep good note and dont be afraid to post your findings and questions. You will get a reply....Good Luck in your search....Steve

A 1400 isn't a commercial smoker. There are larger units avail from ST. MY 1400 will hold about 5 slabs of ribs. And only 2-3 pork butts. A larger unit will be needed for commercial application. But the ST process is nothing but the best. There is a learning curve as you will see here in the forum but once you catch on its great. Just smoke away and keep it clean. Any ? just post and will respond......But for competition(small) you should be ok as long as there is 110v power. Good Luck.....Steve
