Which bbq cooker to purchase?
It seems that there are a lot of good products on the market. I had no idea how many choices there were in cookers/gadgets and I did not expect the process to be so exciting. I’m just a country boy in Louisiana who has been using my Dad’s home welded grill/smoker for years. Now that I have a family of my own and Pop is not giving in to my begging for his smoker, the time has come for me to plunk down my cash.
I have a gasser now for quick stuff. I’m married to a modern gal, which means I do the cooking for a family of six. I enjoy it. Sometimes I cook for church on their big fixed smoker-grill, but my volume will be at home for family under 25. I’ve got plenty of room.
Klose. Backwoods. Spicewine. Cookshack FEC-100 BGE JR Enterprises 32-48
Which direction to go? I’ve run a stick burner with my Dad, so I understand what tending a fire is like. The FE cookshack unit is dreamy, but dats allota coin. Possible, but not probable. My original budget was 1k. The local weld shop confirmed my suspicion that I could drive to Houston and pick up a Klose for the same price of having something put together.
What would you gents purchase if starting over?
