Thoughts opinions on this offset guy

I really like the idea of it but question why you need and offset to get that done.... plus, as stated earlier, the welds are very amatureish.... I can weld that good and I suck!

It's never about "Need" is about "Want"! :becky:

Does anyone else think those tires are a little close to the fire box or is it insulated

I was thinking the EXACT same thing, especially since they appear to be the typical Harbor Freight tire..

Nice concept but no way I'm firing a smoker box next to the bumper of my truck.

But that's a Chevy so I'm sure he's use to stuff falling off. <Sorry, that was too easy>

U mean stuff falling off the fords he's towing!!! :becky: but I think it's a cool lil smoker... I wouldn't use it attached to the truck though..

Booger welds are hard to look at but very cool idea for tailgating or small gatherings. Il
Like the creativity.

Here is one for $250.

This is a good smoker.

That looks like the fancy version of the Cimarron. I have the plain jane:

These are basically OK Joe offsets, made by the same workers in the same shop, before Brinkmann reneged and downgraded the build quality and sent it overseas.

Ooops- I didn't see DriverWild's response.

Oh well, I guess mine confirms it. :blah:

I know for a fact after reading this forum that the 22.5 weber makes all the sense in the world for a guy like me. However a weber will never satiate my pyromania which is about half the fun for me. I'm attracted to offsets like a moth to flame. I have at least decided against the Home Depot Brinkman type offsets.
I bought a Char-Broil grill/smoker off CL for $40 and love it -- looks like an offset but minus the firebox. Yes it's junk (though the thermometer isn't bad amazingly) .So now I want something similar, but with thicker metal and better sealing and engineering, yet I don't want something that need a monster truck to tow. If it's small, I know I'll use it year 'round.

I think Lowe's will have what you are looking for.It's an Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn. I got mine for about $350.00, and they delivered it right inside my garage for me for free.
