Ugly drum smokers?

Coming from a Masterbuilt gravity feed that took over duties from a modified offset. While the offset produced the best meat I ever cooked, it will not go overnight without adding fuel. I never used my gravity for anything but smoking, so thinking about a dedicated smoker. These look like possible candidates.
Looking for input from owners, especially cons.

I built one and it is all I use. It has 2 22" Weber kettle cooking grates along with the domed lid.
Length of smoke will depend on the size of your coal basket. With my basket i can go 8 to 10 hours depending on temp i set.
Once set temps are rock steady.
Learning curve was small.
Only con i can think of is you have to remove the top grate to tend to the bottom one. I don't need to do that very often.

Thanks. Just started looking, but the swing out bottom of the Oklahoma Joe seems super convenient for fuel/ash management. If the K4L had that, I'd probably get it.

I would not trust the air flow seal on the OKJ Bronco drum. Air flow control is paramount and you have to have a good seal.
I'd get a 22inch Weber Smokey Mountain. Most versatile and easiest to use smoker out there.
