I am new to the forum and I have a quick question about smokers. I am without right now and would like to get back into it if possible (for somewhat cheap). I will be cooking on it weekly probably but rarely in very large amounts. Tell me if I am missing anything.
I have a O.K. Joe upright smoker but the firebox is rusted out in places. I could fix it (I have a welder) but im worried about dumping more money into this smoker as it was never super reliable for me.
I considered the char griller kamado acorn when they went on sale at kroger this week, and I didnt make it in time in my truck, and they sold out. Not sure if these are worth it for the full $300?
I looked at the vision classic kamado's but cant find any but I can't find any costco sales on them right now so thats a little high on budget.
And finally I have come full circle around to the idea of a UDS. We have drumco here local and I can get my hands on a nice drum for cheap, and I can weld, etc.... Plus I would love to have something I built as my Ice Chest Stereo is my current prize possession....
I have been back and forth alot, but I would really like to get back to being able to do some long smokes soon. Im sure its safe to say everyone on this forum is probably more knowledgeable than I am, so It would be great if some of y'all could throw your 2 cents in..
Thanks in advance!
