2013 Offset Smoker Poll
Hey folks,
Help me decide on an offset smoker. I didn't have much luck with my last thread. If you were to purchase an offset smoker from one of these builders, price and size being equal, which one would you buy? Thanks for voting!

First choice would be lang, esp if you're getting reverse flow.
Second would be gator or jambo, but I don't own one, I'm just going off research I did off pictures and their own websites and such.

Lang ~ reverse flow and no shipping; it's just down the road.

I can only speak to the Klose. I love mine.  I know people love their Gators. I'm not as familiar with Pits by JJ.

I took the poll because you stated all things equal (Price and Size) I chose Klose in the poll.
But in the real world all things are not equal (especially price, quality, and shipping) so I truly prefer a Lang. |

I would Jambo to that list. It's a very well built cooker at a competitive price

Actually I intended on Lang being a choice but I screwed up the post.

Add Yoder to that list and stop shopping. The Kingman kicks ash. A custom Stockton on is way up on my wish list.

Since I run a Gator, that's the one I chose. To be honest, I think any of the "high end" builders would be fine. I just enjoyed talking to Ritch when I called and he built me just what I wanted. No complaints from me.
