re: Offset Smoker (stick burner) Recommendations?

That’s the one. You’ll like it a lot if you’re dedicated to learning how to use an offset. Getting blue smoke off of a well made fire is the hard part.

I ruined some meat with white smoke a few times. You also want to try your best to not get a lot of white smoke when you’re seasoning it before any meat is thrown on.

So building a good fire out of the gate is pretty important.

I bought some felt tape and lined the opening lip on the hood and it doesn’t leak smoke at all.

I have a holland grill (that is also a smoker), a pellet fed smoker and the old country. The OC is my favorite to use bc an offset is just... more fun. and the brisket and chicken taste the best off of it of the 3 I use.
