Greetings,
I currently own two Weber OTG 22.5s and a Char Griller COS with a firebox. I honestly have not used the Char Griller very much and am just getting the hang of the Webers. I am truly enjoying myself and my family/friends can abide by my new hobby!
As I travel down the BBQ road, I wonder in which direction I should look? I plan to compete casually/locally for fun. Mostly I want to be able to produce good 'cue.
So all you pros: if you could "do it over," what would you do? What equipment would you buy? I have my eye on a WSM 22-inch and a cabinet smoker (Backyard Smoker, Spicewine, et al). A UDS would be nice but I am admittedly NOT handy (Groucho Marx said, "Find out what you don't do well, and don't do it!")! I have given little thought to ceramic egg-type cookers, probably due to my own ignorance of them.
Living in New England, there is less access to dealers to compare products (But we DO house the 2011 Jack Daniels World Barbecue champs!)
I don't mind spending some $$ on a smoker, especially if I do not buy one cooker after another looking for the "perfect" one.
So....keep the OTGs, get a WSM or...save my pennies for a cabinet? How far should I leap? My mind is wide open!
Thanks for considering my dilemma,
Little Dick
