Default Yoder Wichita or the good one Marshall???

Been lurking here for a while, learned a lot from you all! Been cooking on XL green egg for 10 plus years but have had requests for cooks from friends, neighbors and referrals some need something that can produce more than just a few briskets or racks of ribs at a time. The egg has been great, so which would should I invest in!!??!! Inquiring minds want to know, have narrowed it down to these 2 because they close by as I am temporarily in the tulsa ok area for a while.
Thanks....

Don't know much about either of them, but one is a stick burner, the other is charcoal. Which one would you rather work with?

Yep, once you answer that question, you'll have your answer :)

Personally, as much as I love stick burners, I have learned from experience that I simply do not have the time necessary to manage one.

Personally, I'd pick the GO Marshall. It's a beast, and will allow you to go for extended periods of time with little to no intervention (once dialed in).

Both will produce phenomenal food! :)

I am good with either stick or lump, been around both for yrs. Thats what makes it tough to decide, GO Marshall has thinner metal and more room, loaded Wichita has thicker metal but a little less room...fun times either way I think.

Lots of cooking real estate in the Marshall plus direct grilling area.

Don't waste your time with the Wichita. Quite a few threads around here talking about the problems and with those smaller Yoder offsets... not to mention their arrogance with how they handled the situation.

Good One Marshall looks pretty good. I'd also recommend checking out the Old Country Brazos as a solid stick burner for a good price. As others have said stick burning is kind of a way of life compared to a charcoal cooker.

Horizon Smokers builds them over on Perry, Oklahoma. Bell Fab builds them in Tulsa.

....just to keep you from having an easy decision.......

I sold my Wichita and bought a Horizon. Total night and day airflow. However, I'm still a huge Yoder fan. I have a YS640 that I bought after upgrading from a YS480. Horizon all day if I had to choose between these two for an offset. The only downside is that I don't have a second shelf on the Horizon (no pun intended). I'm sure it's an option, though...

I love your username! My personal favorite is the 1860 Henry. I have a Uberti replica but I'd love to own an original someday. And 1 each of all the (other) Winchesters from 1866-95. Anyhow....

I've never owned either, but came across both in my months of smoker research over the past year before I settled on my new LSG offset. I would hands down go with the Marshall over the Wichita. IMO stick burners are only fun when you buy the best available, and in my opinion, Yoder is in the "B" tier of offset makers.

I have a Wichita and as I learn it I am loving it more and more.

I do think they missed on the heat management plate, I have tentatively replaced it with some sheet steel I got at Loews. Runs really well now and the side to side temps run a couple of degrees difference.

Just as an aside, the Oklahoma City Gun Club holds Cowboy Action Shooting matches twice a month, and one need not be a member in order to participate.

My levergun is a Uberti 1873 full-octagon long-barrel, a real beauty.
