I guess I am trying to talk myself into it. I wouldnt mind making a few improvements to it. Plus you only get good at grillin by practice so I dont care how long it takes me to get comfortable. I live in a house with garage/cover so it doesnt have to be portable. I am rather stubborn so asking for advice may not have been the best option

I read a ton of reviews on the barrel with side fire box and I understand that with a few mods to the new bruns or char-grill it can be very good. But I will go look at the brinkman too.

Then get an offset in your price range and do what Tim said and get a small Weber for quick indirect stuff.

In a few years when you have the time and money build yourself your dream rig.

Smoking on a cheap offset uses a ton of fuel and takes a lot of tinkering to get it right. I can take a Weber kettle out of the box and get smoke times over 6 hours with little to no fussing or having to add fuel.

You will find yourself messing with the vents on the cheap offset enough that you might just give up.

The Weber Kettle is the cheapest and most versatile charcoal cooker on the market. It also has a lot of toys you can buy in the future such as a smokenator, rotisserie and ribolator. I use mine about 5 times a week.

Mines a brinkman smoke and pit professional(whatever that means)....It has got to be about 20 years old and though I have replaced handles and the wood slat table it is bullet proof...mine just sets out in the weather...I spray a little pam on the rust spots and everythig is great...even the thermometer works perfect....I would like to buy the big green egg or the bubba keg but this pit just will not die.
