Hi All
My first post. Have been reading posts here all week and had to join. Love this forum already.
I have my heartset on an offset for a variety of reasons. We have a local Horizon dealer in Shrewsbury MA. Was looking at 20" Classics but it's too much to swing right now. So I ordered a 22.5" WSM from Amazon but haven't felt great about it. Have been smoking on my gas grill and weber kettle for years with actually decent results. The WSM just seems a bit boring compared to a classic offset. Even if the offset is more work it also seems like more fun.
So, they are a few older NB offsets on Craigslist around me that are in the $200 range.

The NBBD seems like a decent find. I am waiting to get some pics.
So, thoughts, comments, etc. Is the WSM any fun? I actually like investing time in BBQ and the thought of set it and leave it seems a bit sanitary. Should I just stick with a quality WSM and stay away from CL smokers....then buy a real keeper offset down the line? Or should I ship back the WSM to Amazon and bring home one of these offsets or something similar? I am sure there will be a UDS comment thrown in here at some point as well.
Sorry for the ramble on my first post. But figured this is the right group to ask!
