i dont... i like buying new things. lie i said in that other thread, i bought the Cuisinart for 100 bucks on prime day.... and i recomended it to the OP who wanted a smoker but didnt want to spend a lot of money...i think WSMs are great.... but you are paying for the name...


lets not do it again in this thread...



So for beginners i would buy the cheapest thing you can find.... a knock off weber kettle or WSM..... cook on it... if you enjoy it... get something more specialty built.

The flip side is that if you get a Weber you will be able to sell it easily, even after 5+ years. If you buy a knockoff, you may not enjoy the experience near as much.

Does anyone still use a Pit Barrel charcoal smoker these days? I know it’s not the best or most roomy, and I am by no means a great smoker, but man I find it real hard to screw up anything I do on that thing.
