Best Offset Smoker for under $1,000?

[SmittyJonz]

It's the first I've ever heard of this smoker or the deal at Costco. Do you know if they bring them back annually, or if this was a one off promo?

I dunno - First I heard of it was six months ago on here

I would NOT buy a 16" - esp for $825..........20" x 42" minimum or even better 24" x 48"..

At least both of the ones referenced are 1/4" thick, unlike all of the Old Country pits except the Brazos.

Watch the Brethern sale forum. And other sales forum for a nice used Lang.... JMHO

I have the 16" Horizon Classic. I have never really wished I had more space. It does have the same challenges as most other off-sets, hotter near the firebox, cooler away. Not really a big deal though.
Still make great food, couldn't cook for a party of 40, but the quality is good, and it's solid and thick steel.

You might try out this convection plate made by Horizon for their 16" diameter smokers:

I bought one for my Lyfe Tyme, and it works pretty well.

I have been considering a Klose since I live in Arkansas, but looking at the Old Country Brazos, may be worth giving it a try.

Howdy to a fellow Arkansan. Did you compete or attend the contest the KCBS they had in Gravette this year? It was a great contest!

Lang Original 36 or 48 patio. They are a bit over a grand especially with shipping from Georgia but more than well worth the extra time to save up.

Every time I see that picture of your smoking area I get jealous. Nice, shady and peaceful.

I think you should read the article about best offset smoker or best electric smoker and buying guide to choose the best for you.

Old Country Brazos - that's the one I'm buying as soon as Academy has them back in stock.

The OP has already bought n sold an offset smoker plus ordered a Lone Star Grillz.......I’m going to have to disagree with everything in/on that Best Offset article.........I wouldn’t recommend ANY of them, infact that list
would be my "Stay Away" from List......

Old Pecos and Oklahoma Joe Longhorn - even the Bandera- Beat any of them by a Long Shot.....

Nope - he used an Old Country Ranch Hand that was discontinued a few years ago. It was smaller than the Pecos n Wrangler, (I think it was a 16" model).........if you pause the video in right spot you can read the Sticker on it.

Can you use charcoal in a pellet smoker? I heard some pit masters use a few roaring chimneys of KBB into their stick burners to get a nice smoke ring. I am considering a pellet smoker because i hear they produce great clean wood smoked flavor. I could be misinformed though.

Laugh or cry..... Still deciding.

This a satire right? That was really written for "the onion".

Not a word of good advice in those links.
